Drug Addict Couple Starves Baby To Death
After reading this story, I came to a few conclusions. Well, that’s not entirely true. First I threw up in my trash can, THEN I came to a few conclusions.
One: there’s nothing wrong with these two parents that I couldn’t fix - with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.
Two: after reading this piece, Washington D.C.’s response to Katrina suddenly made perfect sense.
Three: Public Defender McKee has given atheists all the ammo they need to prove that the soul does not exist.
Four: Back to the whole pliers and blowtorch thing - after reading Price’s comments, I’d start with her tongue.
Thanks (I suppose) to www.crazedparent.org for the article.

That’s just plain sick! They should adopt her kids out and sterilize both of them.

The comment about Katrina is tasteless to say the least.

Geez Shane, he quoted PULP FICTION and you take him to task for the Katrina jibe?
I don’t see what’s so tasteless. He pointed out that government inaction resulted in hundreds of deaths. That’s not tasteless - it’s the truth.

They will adopt her kids out or at least put them in foster care. If they use as much care with placing those kids as they did with this child before he died, we get to discuss the broken foster care and adoption system once again. It never ends.

Shane - read my last post, go to Wikipedia and look up “tossing salad”, and then we’ll talk about tasteless.

It’s so very sad. It sounds like the mother completely lacks brains. If she took him to a checkup, though, and he wasn’t thriving, why wasnt anything done? Who dropped the ball on that?

I sent Shane an email response to his comment; thought I’d post that here to clarify the Katrina reference. That crack was, as Jay correctly points out, intended to highlight the fact that our nation’s capitol reinforces a culture of non-accountability and apathy. NO ONE who was connected to these two saw fit to intervene, which may have saved that poor baby’s life. The doctors, shelters, local CPA, and police all sat by and did nothing while that baby slowly starved to death - and in sentencing these two worthless excuses for human beings let them off easy. Having worked in the political arena, I have first hand epxerience with the “it’s someone else’s problem” mindset that permeates Washington. D.C. has one of the highest murder, general crime, and infant mortality rates in the country because of this, and IMHO it’s this same attitude that prompted a delayed, halfassed reaction to Katrina.

Hello, I am not sure if this is a good place to start with my story but it involves 2 babies. My daughter is 25 and she has 3 children, one she left here in Ohio about 3 years ago and the other 2 she had while she lived in TN with a drug addict and she has become one as well. She recently stold my idenity and cashed checks in my bank account (which is a felony). I believe this was to support her and her boyfriends drug habit. He has only been out of jail for 3 weeks. She has been arrested and the Childrens Protection Services called on us to take the babies. We now have them. My baby is 21 and so this is quite a change for us to now have a 1 year old and 2 year old. The babies had no cloths, no shoes, no toys, basicly nothing and unfortunately we are not as financially stable as we would hope. Has anyone ever been thru a situation like this. We are dealing with the fact that our daughter is a drug addict and she is going to prison and also that we will be in our late 60’s by the time the babies graduate. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Those of you who have never had a child do something like this(which this is the short of the story) thank God daily that you have not. My daughter was 22 when she started doing drugs.
