Each case needs to be looked at on its own.

That's the whole purpose of child services. If parents are teaching their kids something wrong (for example that laws should be scoffed at and broken anyways) or if parents are putting their kids in dangerous situations (surrounding them with illegal drugs and people that are into doing illegal things) then those kids are better off without the parents.
You might not agree with weed being legal or not however society has come together and labelled weed illegal. This isn't about weed, the guy can protest about weed not being legal as much as he wants, this is about the law that he broke 4 times.
Now I'm not saying that the law is fair - and if it isn't there are ways to get rid of that law so long as the majority of people that vote on the issue in your state/country agree.
Life in jail is harsh but a guy that goes back to court again and again for the same offence ought to know that the punishment will fall on the tough side on of those times.

Yeah for sure the guy doing 12 DUI deserves it more and people SHOULD bring these laws they don't like up to get them taken away but until then people have to follow the law.
