(45,319 posts)In one case you are saying that a tiny percentage of people who abuse drugs should mean all people who are prescribed such drugs must be watched carefully. In the other case, you are saying that a much, much greater percentage of people who abuse their kids does not indicate that all parents need to be watched carefully.
It makes zero sense, what you are saying. None. If a tiny amount of drug abuse should lead to investiagion of all who are prescibed these drugs then a huge amount of child abuse should lead to investigation of all who are parents. You say that is not the case, no matter how many parents abuse kids there is nothing we should do to stop it, but if a negligible amount of pain patients abuse drugs, we must act against all pain patients with great suspicion. I guess you think abuse of a medication in small percentages is worse than abuse of children in large percentages.
