Meanwhile, there is the story of the woman who decided to not undergo treatment for a terminal cancer, because she was pregnant. She chose her babies life over hers and died shortly after holding her baby after birth. Then you have animals like this just abusing their children, yet only getting 2 years for it. She should get at least 20 years to make sure she is infertile by the time she gets out.
They're not idiots. They're Jerry Springer future guest. You can hear the audience chant, Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
America aint be manufacturing nuttin, but it sure knows how to mak'em WhiteTrash, TrailerparkTrash, MinorityTrash, and Rednecks. Yall hommies know what I mean?
What kind of person would do such a cruel thing to a child.
What has happened to some of these "moms", I use that word loosely. I though a Mom was someone you knew loved you, took the best care of you and gave you what was "only" good for you.
The Post reported that the women could face up to two years each in prison when the judge sentences them in December.
So they should be out by Christmas! This may be a good place and time to apply the mandatory tube tying rule....to avoid another probable occurance of really bad parenting skills....also they should probably be on a no adoption list and a no foster parent list.
I know the jails are full but 2 yrs is not enough. The kids should be taken away permanently. I'm sure you anti-choice people are standing in line to adopt them. Unfortunately, we cannot force the woman to have her tubes tied.
moszzie I too wonder about the antichoice people on cases like this. I too feel that some people should not have kids. And I am called selfish because I don't have kids and don't know if I want to have kids.
Jason: Then you have animals like this just abusing their children
I would hardly equate this woman's behavior to an animal's treatment of their children. Animals love and care for their own. We could learn a great deal from them if we paid attention. Please try to use different terminology.
what surprises me is what was not mentioned in the article? first thing that came to mind in reading that 'her companion' was also arrested: this sh*t will soil all the other 'Good' aligned lesbian parental units trying to raise their children, mostly because the religious freaks with go insane to hump this anti-gay example of EPIC parental fail, to the fullest.
for the record, The PW is pro-choice, pro-gay and thinks if you're a retard(tm), you should NOT breed. period. *sarcasm Mode OFF*
Is it just the age of the internet & instant reporting, or are people really becoming more stupid? Was the percentage of nuts, child abusers, and pedophiles the same 50 years ago and we just didn't hear about it, or is our society devolving? Anyone have any science to help explain this behavior?

You took the thought right out of my head. Is it me or are more and more people hurting their own children ? I am at a loss I hope these kids will be okay.
Lize, just me really I wonder about that too. I wonder if folks are so into technology that was made to help us is really isolating us. I find that folks are much more stupider than before. Seriously. I think also with the internet you get news faster and you know more, plus it repeats which makes people think that the world is worst, it's not, it's just that you hear the stories more, whereas, in the past you only heard about local/state things and not always national and world things or should I say you wouldn't have access to every story that may not have made it to the local news/paper. All you have to do is look at the local newspaper from 100 years ago and find stories of crime that was the same if not worst.
Just more evidence of the devolution of Americans.
Hogwash. Idiots have always been among us (humans, not just Americans), hurting each other for any number of reasons (or none at all). We just have 24-hour news telling us about it now.
I like the picture you get before starting the video. She looks all put out that she is being photo'd at the cop shop. Its like she cant believe that she is being arrested for sharing expensive drugs with her kids. I mean, I spend about 300.00 a month on groceries for my kids. She is dropping that so her daughter and her daycare friends can have a PAAAAARRTTTTTYYYYY! That makes her mom of the year.
Hey maybe she can have the guy who was teaching his 9 year old daughter to drive while he was wasted be her chauffer.
I think adoption is not a popular choice because who wants to go through the misery of the illness of pregnancy, the agony of labor and the absolute hell of delivery....all for literally nothing? If she puts the baby up for adoption, she ruined her body/health for nothing.
It's a pity there's no way to somehow remove the fetus in utero, attach him/her to some sort of created placenta and essentially grow the kid in some sort of controlled environment until all necessary development is completed and the baby is ready for extra uterine life. Perhaps one day medicine could reach that ability, but then I have to wonder....how are we going to be able to provide enough food, water, air for all these new humans? That's a lot of resources to come up with, and we seem fairly lacking now as it is.
Baloney: A lot of loving, caring people would take in a "crack baby"
BS. You don't know that. Where are they? There was a woman in Denver who delivered a crack baby once a year for six years at a local hospital and left them all there. All of them ended up in foster care and were never adopted.
I do not agree with screening parents to determine if they can ever have children. Besides, how do you regulate something like that?
However, there should definitely be some sort of mandatory sterilization after an offense like this. That woman in Denver too that was mentioned above. If we have chemical castration for pedophiles, why not women who feed their kids cocaine?
Hey, Connecticut authorities ----- IF these women are found guilty, in addition to any, hopefully LENGTHY prison sentence, they should both be sterilized. They are certainly not contributing to the welfare of children and are more likely burdening the state with expensive treatments down the road for the affected offspring.
The nanny state interfering with the mother's right to raise her children the way she chooses and live free! (sarcasm) Deregulate parenthood, Get rid of the EPA, Get rid of the Department of the Interor. All hail the job creators!! (more sarcasm)
mozzie-600, where's the love? Just because the mom is an idiot and a drug addict doesn't mean her children should be forced to spend their lives with her because she gave birth to them. There are plenty of people who would be willing to take in a child because they can't have their own. I'm guessing the mother in this case (and I know it sounds harsh) didn't give them up for adoption because she either didn't want the adoption people to find out she was a druggie and report her, or she was entirely too lazy to get a job to support her drug habit and so claimed them for unemployment benefits. Some people out there are just scum, totally selfish and don't take responsibility for what they have brought into the world and this gal should get more than two years-she could have killed those kids.
And I would ask you: Where is your compassion? How is it that you think you have the right to pass judgement on this woman by calling her scum and an idiot when you have never even met her? How dare you. You may think that you are "better than" this woman, but you are not a better human being than she. She needs our compassion, not ridicule.
Actually her kids need our compassion. She needs NA and AA and parenting counseling and classes AFTER she serves time in prison for her crime. She gave her child cocaine for chrissake!
Utter and Just: The only difference between you and Juliette Dunn is that you appear to have better coping skills than she does. You don't know what led her into an uncontrolled situation such this. I would count myself lucky, if I were you.
Im thinking she got into this situation because she is heartless. Her picture looks like she is pissed, not like she cares at all. Come on, she needs to get her ass beat! She gave a tiny child COKE! There is NO excuse for this. NONE.
And to boot she is probably getting subsidized by the government to treat her kids like that, I hope which ever state she lives in is a proud "parent" enabler
Im not one to trash on someone who is down on their luck, I believe in a hand UP. I do not, however, believe in a hand OUT, which she was probably recieving.
These are not cheap habits. Where was this travesty um...sorry...I mean "mom" getting the money not only for her habits but for what she was giving to the children??? I'm so sorry for these babies...Hopefully, they will not have any permanent physical damage but what about undoing the emotional / psychological aspects of this abuse???
And expanding on what Blake said not only an IQ test and psychological tests, but IMO a potential parent should have to go through the same scrutiny that any potential adoptive parent would have to go through. I hear that as tough as it is to adopt, it should be just as difficult to be allowed to have a child through natural means. And if you can't pass that type of screening then you have no business having children. I know I will probably get a lot of flack for that, but it's just my opinion and unfortunately it will never be a reality much to the pain and suffering of other children born to rotten parents like the one in the article.
Whenever a rare, isolated incident such as this comes to light, there will always be useful idiots such as yourself who start calling for eugenics and reproduction licenses. Don't you realize what a dangerous precedent you're setting?
GOi, why are you tripping? Steve is quoting a movie that a lot people have quoted lately. Let's see what has been going on in the wonderful world of parenting:
I have compiled a list of cases I have come across via the internet of children who have gone missing/murdered/attempted murder by parents/stepparents/boy-girl friend of parents/family member friend who have been charged/convicted of said case:
Carlos Rico- Tx dad who threw 4 yo out of moving car. Child landed in cactus, he is fine.
Julia Powers – Fl mom who killed her 2 kids, accused them of being mouthy.
Susan Smith – NC mom, drowned her 2 kids in car.
Gilberta Estrada – Tx mom, killed her 3 daughters, killed self.
Theresa Riggi – American mom killed her 3 kids, in Scotland
Kristine Cushing – Tx mom killed her 2 daughters, got a mental defense, got off/currently in custody case with another mom, raising the other woman's kids.
Kenisha Berry - Tx mom, killed her 4 yo with tape to the mouth and put in bag.
Diane Downs – Tx mom, killed 7 yo, wounded 8 and 3 yo
Frances Newton – Tx mom, killed 2 kids and husband
Elisa Baker – NC stepmom, confessed to killing Zahra Clare Baker
Alexandra Tobias – Fl mom, killed her baby because the baby interrupted her Facebook time
John Joseph Deblase and Heather Leavell Kenton - Alabama couple accused of killling the boyfriend's two kids
Laquisha Wright – NY mom accused of throwing newborn down a garbage chute
Everett E. Conant II – Wyoming, charged with murder of 3 boys and brother, also shot wife who survived
Casey Anthony, FL - accused of killing her daughter, got off
Lindsey Lowe- TN confessed to killing her newborn twins
So please tell me where was all the outrage about these parents/stepparents who do these things.
Great line from one of my all time favorite movies! But I have to correct your quote: "you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming @!$%# be a father." :-) Obviously it's not just fathers that can be responsible for awful parenting.
I also like when Tom Hulce is thrown from the moving car and he tells Jason Robards those were his friends and Robards reposnds "Friends slow down, they even stop."
I completely agree with Steve. It really is crazy how any moron can have a child. Part of me feels like it should be regulated, I know it sounds absolutely insane, but look at the cases of neglect, abuse, etc. If only we could weed out the morons and keep them from breeding...
I don't think regulation in this case is insane at all. This kind of parent should be sterilized and never allowed to have custody of children again. Just because someone can reproduce doesn't mean they should.
How in the world does anyone think that it's OK to give a child alcohol? This mother is clearly off her rocker~CRAZY. Some people do not have a conscience. I don't understand WHY this woman would give her child alcohol. WHY?
Thismother needs some SERIOUS intervention, she needs to do lots of community service, as well as some jail time. After some serious therapy and parenting classes, she could eventually have some SUPERVISED visitation. If she can get her head screwed on straight, she might get her children back in a couple of years. This is really sad. The very person who is supposed to love you, protect you, look out for you, teach you, and set a good example for you, is the very one that ends up harming you.
This kind of parent should be sterilized and never allowed to have custody of children again.
Ok. Then we'll sterilize criminals. Then parents of criminals. Then people with genetic diseases. Then people of low IQ. Then atheists. Seriously, forced sterilizations? Isn't that what the Nazis were doing?
@Lorene: I'm surprised that you focus on the alcohol (which happens to be just beer) while she feeds her son COCAINE. In any case, such people need to be locked away.
@howie: Sterilize those who commit certain types of crimes, and leave it at that.
I agree, but how long would be long enough? 18 years because she screwed up the kids' childhood or life without parole because she may have damaged them forever? perhaps they should investigate the exent of the damage before sentencing.
I took parenting classes and think that anyone would wants to have children should have to take them but how do you inforce that? the government can't even keep people from driving on our streets under the influence of chemicals.
excellent idea except we can't barely get people to back sex ed as a mandatory class some states let parents opt out from it. Not the state I was raised in but some. In wisconsin sex ed is part of the required for graduation health class. now if only they would add a unit on parenting.
Parenting classes? People are freaking out these days because Gov. officials have suggested it is beneficial to your children to serve them nourishing food! The suggestion of parenting classes may bring some people completly over the edge.
Parenting classes in high school? Kids shouldn't even be thinking about parenthood at that time. They should think about getting an education that will lead to a productive life (and not productive in the sense of having babies). The best we can do is provide free birth control and pro-choice counseling and if need be, free abortions (needless to say, not in high school). Some people should not have kids and some kids no doubt wish they'd never been born. This woman is undoubtedly off her rocker and the kids should be taken away from her and placed in a loving environment.
The problem with parenting classes is that nobody can agree on HOW to parent well. Even parents often can't agree between themselves. And who would decide WHAT to teach? Especially when religion is thrown into the mix, you're treading on seriously thin ice when you deign to tell a person how to raise their children.
In most cases where parenting is taught, it teaches things like handling finances, dealing with stress, where to get help, and other things young parents need to know to deal with life with children. Not how to raise children.
The general hope and expectation is that people will at least follow the law, and treat others at least somewhat fairly, and that when their children grow up, they'll do the same. Unless we want to resort to something like Sharia Law, then we're stuck with the messiness of individuals raising their kids as best they can, and hoping they don't mess them up *too* much!
We already have sex-ed in high school and that doesn't seem to be doing much good because way too many schools are going the way of not offending our kids by telling them the truth about sexually contracted diseases, etc, etc-what it really means to get pregnant as a teen and have a child. There's no way parenting classes would work-parents and school boards wouldn't allow it because they wouldn't want to get sued by other parents thinking their kids are being taught too much, which, I think, is ridiculous-if you don't teach your kids this stuff, it's your own fault when they get in trouble. How's a parenting class going to work if you can't tell them exactly how not to get pregnant in the first place and avoid all the other dangers along the way? I've always been one for telling kids the total truth, and letting them make their own choices after they've been given all the facts about what could happen, supporting them when they mess up. No one ever said parenting was easy but if you're honest with your kids, it might not be so hard. This gal's parents obviously didn't care enough to try and raise their own daughter right before she grew up and had kids of her own.
is that like " Not telling the truth about anal sex and that it leads to death " ahh yes CDC has the Facts but why bother telling people the Truth when lies are more " Bussiness" healthy people do not provide the " steady income " that " Governments " need do they?
I know women who are unable to have their own children and these women would do anything in the world to have a healthy happy child. When I look at these ignorant a-holes who are given the beautiful gift of a child and then take it for granted by abusing them in this way really makes me wonder about how life works sometimes.
yep courts are full of cases where the perp says it's mommy and daddy's fault and they get off
They are? I've don't think I've ever heard of such a case outside of juvenile court, (in which case they'd remove the child from their parents). Something like "battered child syndrome" might get you off if you kill your abusive parents. And childhood trauma might be used at sentencing in some cases (but not very effectively, from what I've seen). But I'm certain our courts are not "full of cases" where defendants get off because of their upbringing. In fact, I'd guess that *most* repeat offenders had pretty poor childhoods.
The scum of our society doing what they are supposed to do and that is bring nothing but shame on their race. Note how there is never any mention of the father's in these cases because there aren't any, just random sperm donors. This is how IQ degenerates over time in certain populations.
She needs to be spayed and locked up for life.She could have killed them both!I'm a nurse,get sick of pond scum reproducing and abusing their kids.They should give them away,or to an orphanage,where they may stand a chance!She should be jailed for life,she's a danger to all of society!
What hypocrites we are in this society where a 4 year old can be given amphetamine (in the form of adderall) but giving them one alcoholic drink, which raises the levels of phenylethylamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body that people with ADHD have been shown to have lower than normal levels of, will land you in jail and your kids in foster care. Wow, I started this post to be a sarcastic one, but I think I'm actually right about this. As far as the cocaine, I'll bet the kid was teething. Guess she should have used whiskey, like my mom did.
Big pharma and Monsanto verses the natural cure: These poor parents probably could not afford their poison so they use there own and loos their child I agree Big Pharma Has No Idea What the Hell Their Drug Will Do to You .... Is Your Favorite Ice Cream Made With Monsanto's Artificial Hormones? Our society is sick with laws that make it hard not to break in just consoling your own child! The truth is there is a big market for adoption and law uses more to push babies right out of parents homes!
Say what's on your mind, but don't be offended when you piss off so many people saying she's right for giving her toddler beer and her infant beer and coke. Seriously? I can't even see a picture, but imagine she and her friend look like a couple of thugs.
Just because your mom didn't have the patience to parent doesn't mean that her giving you alcohol to shut you up was an acceptable practice. Any logical person would come to the same conclusion.
And cocaine for teething? How about baby aspirin? Something cold? Good god man. Yeah, cocaine may make it so they don't care, but it's also highly addictive and completely irresponsible to take as an ADULT, much less give out to an innocent child.
Cocaine is used medically as a local anesthesia. Look it up. It's a Schedule II drug, meaning it has approved medical uses. A tiny amount rubbed on the gums (similar to how people used whiskey, --topically!) will numb the area and stop the pain. I'm suggesting that this is what occurred, and this child was never given enough to feel any psychoactive effects. Cocaine is psychologically addictive only, and addiction COULD NOT HAPPEN, if used this way.
Not that this is relevant, quiet1-2233621, but I would imagine that she and her friend likely did not appear to be a couple of thugs.. cocaine is fairly expensive, as are select varieties of beer. It doesn't say she was giving them crack and 40's.
@ quiet1------Offended because I pizzed someone off?!? LOL. You are absolutely right, though, that she was wrong. After all, she IS in jail. I was trying to be sarcastic, as I've said. I just happen to be right about this. There was a time when alcohol and cocaine would have been in every homes medicine cabinet, and the reason they no longer are has more to do with Big Pharma (as clouds has stated) marketing different products to us now, that with the actual dangers of using alcohol and cocaine responsibly.
Disgusting! 2 yrs. isn't enough time in jail. I would love to have just 5 minutes alone with each one of them. Betcha they wouldn't do it again when I got done with them. Pieces of garbage that needs to be taken to the curb. I pray those poor babies get to go live in nice homes with loving people.
WTF!? I wonder how many drugs she gave them when she was pregnant...
I cannot believe this woman is still alive in jail. Hope some mom that is jail for doing something to provide for her kids is in there with her. I hope the guards tell the real reason for her being in there. I know she wont.
I hope the kids are ok, and I hope they do alright going through DTs.
I bet! One of my cousins was a RN at this hospital, and this dad brought his three year old in a week after he gained custody, because the kid had a HEART ATTACK! He got custody because she was feeding him meth to keep him up with her, so they could sleep at the same time. He had the heart of a 90 year old at 3! He died due to this. SAD!
Yes! Its on my comprehensive (thank GOD I decided that I needed the full coverage when I opened the policy), and I am driving an '11 Durango! SWEET car. I want one. I hope Santa loves me this year!
Just kill her. No need to let her back in to the world. If you are this irresponsible there is no rehabilitation. Very sad. I agree. You should have to register and be ALLOWED to have children. State assistance? NO KIDS....You cant even take care of yourself! And so on.
Did the article say why she was giving the kids beer and coke? Two years seems short for potentially killing your kids....I would say at least 5 years and of course your kids are taken away permanently.
Yesterday, a 23 year old female drug addict was sentenced to 4 years in prison for a string of home burglaries she committed...including the burglary she did at my house.
When she broke into my house to rob me, her baby was strapped into a carseat in her car, right there in my driveway. She did three burglaries that morning with her child inside her car.
Some working couples these days choose to only have one child, while they surely could afford to have more. The problem with the population in this country is that the absolutely wrong people are having the babies.
There was a story on the news on Tuesday about a twelve year old boy being charged with murdering his two year old brother....their mother was 24 years old. The day a 12 year old girl gives birth to a baby is the day a recipe for disaster has been cooked to perfection. There are no possible good options.
Wow... I'm surprised that a 12 year old girl can survive that kind of trauma. Besides, what happened to safe sex and abortion? Clearly some people would rather have preteen kids giving birth than get rid of non-living organic masses before they gain sentience.
Just some more wonderful welfare moms living off the system with no concern for the welfare of their kids. Makes you wonder if "Precious" was really just fiction.
It's amazing isn't it that these 2 a$$holes find nothing wrong in what they've done? Perfectly normal behaviour for them! When your 4 year old can rattle off what BEER he likes or doesn't like and your baby is in a stupor from an alcohol/coke mix, these "people" need a longer stretch than 2 years, they also must not, MUST NOT be allowed to breed again. Normal people wish for a healthy child/children, these creatures don't deserve the honor of having children...
And so will you when your baby grabs a paper book off a counter and try's to eat it! 'Than Chokes' And the law finds you negligent for letting him get near the coffee table it's enzite thinkers like you that cause more un- needed laws and that are all used for one purpose-and one only to push children out of homes to sell in the biggest market their is baby sales! Just ask Nancy Shaffer she lies in a grave for standing against this evil!
Well Cloudy, there is a big effen difference in children having accidents and parents "giving" them drugs and booze, especially toddlers and small babies!! Don't ya think!! Well maybe you don't and judging from your answer you probably got caught doing the same thing, now you are the poster child for abusive and idiotic parents everywhere.
How you can even think that an accident, with a book, even remotely relates to abuse and downright stupidity, of supposed "adults", is beyond me. I, for one, am certainly glad that I can't make that leap of judgement between the two, then I'd be just as bad as you...
Wrong I am just sick of the Monsanto Satan drug lords sir If you did some actual research cocaine is a pain realever and it will numb the pain in teething but this industry does not want people having NATURAL CURES And as far as beer tell me where it's on the law of any book in the bible ? YOU ARE THE IDIOT NOT ME!
READ
Amphetamine and Pain Relief - IDMU Ltd. ... The effects of amphetamine are similar to those of cocaine, both affecting the same neural systems, amphetamine
Dear Cloudy, what fu*ken century are you in and from what planet? Every living thing knows right from wrong, but some choose not to do what is right. Not giving a small child beer doesn't have to be a law anywhere, it's called "common sense". Please give up now, I do not wish to engage in intellectual combat with an unarmed man/woman...
And which law exactly would you cite to enforce that requirement? Oh, you want to write a new one? Ok, so, what are the specifics? Any person who provides alcohol to a minor gets sterilized? Or do illegal drugs have to also be included? What about stores that sell (purposefully or unintentionally) to minors? Is there an age limit? 10? 5? 2? Does cough syrup with alcohol count? With codeine? What about states where it is LEGAL to give you own child alcohol in your own home? And what about sacramental wine? Well, it's all something Congress can work out, I'm sure, since they're so good at making important decisions like this, and it never matters who the current majority party is...
Howie, did you even read the effen article? You are just as bad as Cloudy, maybe you need to justify the way you treat your own children, I don't know, but the norm is you don't feed small children beer and coke, if you do, then you are nothing but an idiot, who's parents probably fed beer and coke instead of milk, so to you that's normal...
And as far as beer tell me where it's on the law of any book in the bible
uhm not to interrupt your rant, but it is illegal to give alcohol of any kind to a minor, & last I checked I don't think the drinking age in any State has been lowered to 4.
Who says I support what was done to those kids? I do not. However, some states DO allow minors to consume alcohol in the home, and a tiny sip now and then wouldn't be especially harmful. But this was *definitely* not within the bounds of normal - or acceptable - behavior. My point was simply that forced sterilizations of bad parents is not something our laws permit, and something that would open up a HUGE can of worms even TRYING to design fairly and within the bounds of our constitution.
Now how about you can the personal attacks and discuss the issues at hand, ok?
listen smoking cigarettes is on it's way to being illegal to do in your own home if you like this Fascism a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology than move
to 'Nazi Germany' Keep thinking the way you do because we are on the way there! George Washington the first president smoked weed and if his child was in the same office or room than we would have never had a first president 'Of the United states of America' And he did and it is these kinds of lawless laws that have ruined our free country!
I smoke cigarettes and personally i hope i die soon so my eyes do not have too see my country burning from idiots like you and the others who do not know true law from your own twisted views of it!
Wow, what an argument... why didn't Cloudy bring up other countries for his rant? Such as Germany... where it's legal for kids to have beer. From the time they are born they are allowed to consume beer. The only requirement at the bar is that you can see over the bar. Or what about Italy? Do they not consume wine at every meal? And isn't it the whole family that drinks wine, not just the adults? And if they do, are they arrested for doing it here when they vacation? These MAY be things that aren't true, but things I HAVE heard of over the years. Just curious...
2 years is light but considering the average for murder is about 8 its all in balance now if it had been crack she would be in jail for the rest of her life. See our crazy legal system is perfect for catch and release. Alcohol after all can not be bad its legal if it were bad like Weed is then it would be illegal so no harm no foul in that sense two years for alcohol to a minor is stupid and too long. Put the kid in jail for alcohol consumption by a minor that is worth at least three years for this tot. Hardened criminal on the loose and moving to a neighborhood near you...
Idiots!
Come on, she got in trouble for that?? Beer is legal...oh, but the cocaine. (total sarcasm)
Really, it is beyond comprehension how any parent can do this, and this moron did it every day. Why is it not 2 years per infraction?
Meanwhile, there is the story of the woman who decided to not undergo treatment for a terminal cancer, because she was pregnant. She chose her babies life over hers and died shortly after holding her baby after birth. Then you have animals like this just abusing their children, yet only getting 2 years for it. She should get at least 20 years to make sure she is infertile by the time she gets out.
This woman should have her kids taken away from her. There is clearly something wrong with anyone who would do this to their kids.
They're not idiots. They're Jerry Springer future guest. You can hear the audience chant, Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!
America aint be manufacturing nuttin, but it sure knows how to mak'em WhiteTrash, TrailerparkTrash, MinorityTrash, and Rednecks. Yall hommies know what I mean?
Jus saying........
What kind of person would do such a cruel thing to a child.
What has happened to some of these "moms", I use that word loosely. I though a Mom was someone you knew loved you, took the best care of you and gave you what was "only" good for you.
And the anti-choice people think that any woman who gets pregnant must become a mother. I'll never understand the thought process.
Sad thing is she will probably get her kids back after she serves time if she serves time.
So they should be out by Christmas! This may be a good place and time to apply the mandatory tube tying rule....to avoid another probable occurance of really bad parenting skills....also they should probably be on a no adoption list and a no foster parent list.
Mozzie - There was another choice, adoption.
I know the jails are full but 2 yrs is not enough. The kids should be taken away permanently. I'm sure you anti-choice people are standing in line to adopt them. Unfortunately, we cannot force the woman to have her tubes tied.
Only had money for Coke and Beer?
Nobody wants a crack baby, Rebecca. Get real. Or maybe you do. In that case, go for it.
moszzie I too wonder about the antichoice people on cases like this. I too feel that some people should not have kids. And I am called selfish because I don't have kids and don't know if I want to have kids.
I'm just speechless.
I would hardly equate this woman's behavior to an animal's treatment of their children. Animals love and care for their own. We could learn a great deal from them if we paid attention. Please try to use different terminology.
Where are all the libertarians screaming that it's the mother's right?
TWO YEARS IS THAT A JOKE?
20 is more like it!
what surprises me is what was not mentioned in the article? first thing that came to mind in reading that 'her companion' was also arrested: this sh*t will soil all the other 'Good' aligned lesbian parental units trying to raise their children, mostly because the religious freaks with go insane to hump this anti-gay example of EPIC parental fail, to the fullest.
for the record, The PW is pro-choice, pro-gay and thinks if you're a retard(tm), you should NOT breed. period. *sarcasm Mode OFF*
and yes, 2 years isnt enough.
She should not be allowed to own a dog much less raise children.
Is it just the age of the internet & instant reporting, or are people really becoming more stupid? Was the percentage of nuts, child abusers, and pedophiles the same 50 years ago and we just didn't hear about it, or is our society devolving? Anyone have any science to help explain this behavior?
More stupid, @1.20 is my guess...
Only one thing comes to mind.
STERILIZATION!!!!
Lize
Is it just the age of the internet & instant reporting, or are people really becoming more stupid? Was the percentage of nuts, child abusers, and pedophiles the same 50 years ago and we just didn't hear about it, or is our society devolving? Anyone have any science to help explain this behavior?
You took the thought right out of my head. Is it me or are more and more people hurting their own children ? I am at a loss I hope these kids will be okay.
This case is just more proof that just because a woman can be impregnated doesn't mean she can be a mother.
No doubt we are all paying their welfare checks too while responsible intelligent adults put off having kids.
Just more evidence of the devolution of Americans.
Lize, just me really I wonder about that too. I wonder if folks are so into technology that was made to help us is really isolating us. I find that folks are much more stupider than before. Seriously. I think also with the internet you get news faster and you know more, plus it repeats which makes people think that the world is worst, it's not, it's just that you hear the stories more, whereas, in the past you only heard about local/state things and not always national and world things or should I say you wouldn't have access to every story that may not have made it to the local news/paper. All you have to do is look at the local newspaper from 100 years ago and find stories of crime that was the same if not worst.
Hogwash. Idiots have always been among us (humans, not just Americans), hurting each other for any number of reasons (or none at all). We just have 24-hour news telling us about it now.
I like the picture you get before starting the video. She looks all put out that she is being photo'd at the cop shop. Its like she cant believe that she is being arrested for sharing expensive drugs with her kids. I mean, I spend about 300.00 a month on groceries for my kids. She is dropping that so her daughter and her daycare friends can have a PAAAAARRTTTTTYYYYY! That makes her mom of the year.
Hey maybe she can have the guy who was teaching his 9 year old daughter to drive while he was wasted be her chauffer.
@Mozzie
Not true. A lot of loving, caring people would take in a "crack baby" as you so eloquently put it.
I think adoption is not a popular choice because who wants to go through the misery of the illness of pregnancy, the agony of labor and the absolute hell of delivery....all for literally nothing? If she puts the baby up for adoption, she ruined her body/health for nothing.
It's a pity there's no way to somehow remove the fetus in utero, attach him/her to some sort of created placenta and essentially grow the kid in some sort of controlled environment until all necessary development is completed and the baby is ready for extra uterine life. Perhaps one day medicine could reach that ability, but then I have to wonder....how are we going to be able to provide enough food, water, air for all these new humans? That's a lot of resources to come up with, and we seem fairly lacking now as it is.
BS. You don't know that. Where are they? There was a woman in Denver who delivered a crack baby once a year for six years at a local hospital and left them all there. All of them ended up in foster care and were never adopted.
I do not agree with screening parents to determine if they can ever have children. Besides, how do you regulate something like that?
However, there should definitely be some sort of mandatory sterilization after an offense like this. That woman in Denver too that was mentioned above. If we have chemical castration for pedophiles, why not women who feed their kids cocaine?
Hey, Connecticut authorities ----- IF these women are found guilty, in addition to any, hopefully LENGTHY prison sentence, they should both be sterilized. They are certainly not contributing to the welfare of children and are more likely burdening the state with expensive treatments down the road for the affected offspring.
The nanny state interfering with the mother's right to raise her children the way she chooses and live free! (sarcasm) Deregulate parenthood, Get rid of the EPA, Get rid of the Department of the Interor. All hail the job creators!! (more sarcasm)
I'm not a medical expert, but I think would be very difficult to castrate a woman.
mozzie-600, where's the love? Just because the mom is an idiot and a drug addict doesn't mean her children should be forced to spend their lives with her because she gave birth to them. There are plenty of people who would be willing to take in a child because they can't have their own. I'm guessing the mother in this case (and I know it sounds harsh) didn't give them up for adoption because she either didn't want the adoption people to find out she was a druggie and report her, or she was entirely too lazy to get a job to support her drug habit and so claimed them for unemployment benefits. Some people out there are just scum, totally selfish and don't take responsibility for what they have brought into the world and this gal should get more than two years-she could have killed those kids.
And I would ask you: Where is your compassion? How is it that you think you have the right to pass judgement on this woman by calling her scum and an idiot when you have never even met her? How dare you. You may think that you are "better than" this woman, but you are not a better human being than she. She needs our compassion, not ridicule.
Actually her kids need our compassion. She needs NA and AA and parenting counseling and classes AFTER she serves time in prison for her crime. She gave her child cocaine for chrissake!
amen Utter!
Utter and Just: The only difference between you and Juliette Dunn is that you appear to have better coping skills than she does. You don't know what led her into an uncontrolled situation such this. I would count myself lucky, if I were you.
"There, but for the grace of God, go I."
I don't care how bad your "coping skills" are, you don't give alcohol & drugs to babies.
You said it yourself, "I don't care..." Oh well. The point is lost on you.
Have a good day!
I'm just stunned. My chin hit my keyboard. WOW.
Utter - nice shoe!
Im thinking she got into this situation because she is heartless. Her picture looks like she is pissed, not like she cares at all. Come on, she needs to get her ass beat! She gave a tiny child COKE! There is NO excuse for this. NONE.
Mozzie please give us a for instance that would make it less disdainful that a mother gave her child cocaine.
@Lola Thanks :)
And to boot she is probably getting subsidized by the government to treat her kids like that, I hope which ever state she lives in is a proud "parent" enabler
Im not one to trash on someone who is down on their luck, I believe in a hand UP. I do not, however, believe in a hand OUT, which she was probably recieving.
Just two years? OMG
OMG was the only thing I could think of to say. Tie her tubes, give her a hysterectomy, whatever, just make sure she never has another child.
These children could very well have some sort of permanent damage due to this abuse. And the mom only gets 2 years?
It's shocking that someone would feed their kids cocaine. Probably large amounts too. She needs to be locked up for way longer than 2 years.
I thought this article was going to be about Barbra Bush.
These are not cheap habits. Where was this
travestyum...sorry...I mean "mom" getting the money not only for her habits but for what she was giving to the children??? I'm so sorry for these babies...Hopefully, they will not have any permanent physical damage but what about undoing the emotional / psychological aspects of this abuse???What I want to know is who the hell wants to make their kid MORE hyper by giving them blow.
I always liked the quote from "Parenthood."
"You need a license to drive, you need a license to fish, but any idiot can have a kid"
Great movie...Great quote!!
Very appropriate quote! I think you should have to pass an IQ test and psychological test before being able to have kids.
Can you say population bottleneck?
And expanding on what Blake said not only an IQ test and psychological tests, but IMO a potential parent should have to go through the same scrutiny that any potential adoptive parent would have to go through. I hear that as tough as it is to adopt, it should be just as difficult to be allowed to have a child through natural means. And if you can't pass that type of screening then you have no business having children. I know I will probably get a lot of flack for that, but it's just my opinion and unfortunately it will never be a reality much to the pain and suffering of other children born to rotten parents like the one in the article.
Steve,
Whenever a rare, isolated incident such as this comes to light, there will always be useful idiots such as yourself who start calling for eugenics and reproduction licenses. Don't you realize what a dangerous precedent you're setting?
@ G.O.I.
I don't recall doing anything but quoting a movie.
Aren't you civilized enough to post a response without name-calling?
Eugenics? WTF? Who knew 'Parenthood' had such sinister undertones?
GOi, why are you tripping? Steve is quoting a movie that a lot people have quoted lately. Let's see what has been going on in the wonderful world of parenting:
I have compiled a list of cases I have come across via the internet of children who have gone missing/murdered/attempted murder by parents/stepparents/boy-girl friend of parents/family member friend who have been charged/convicted of said case:
Carlos Rico- Tx dad who threw 4 yo out of moving car. Child landed in cactus, he is fine.
Julia Powers – Fl mom who killed her 2 kids, accused them of being mouthy.
Susan Smith – NC mom, drowned her 2 kids in car.
Gilberta Estrada – Tx mom, killed her 3 daughters, killed self.
Theresa Riggi – American mom killed her 3 kids, in Scotland
Kristine Cushing – Tx mom killed her 2 daughters, got a mental defense, got off/currently in custody case with another mom, raising the other woman's kids.
Kenisha Berry - Tx mom, killed her 4 yo with tape to the mouth and put in bag.
Diane Downs – Tx mom, killed 7 yo, wounded 8 and 3 yo
Frances Newton – Tx mom, killed 2 kids and husband
Elisa Baker – NC stepmom, confessed to killing Zahra Clare Baker
Alexandra Tobias – Fl mom, killed her baby because the baby interrupted her Facebook time
John Joseph Deblase and Heather Leavell Kenton - Alabama couple accused of killling the boyfriend's two kids
Laquisha Wright – NY mom accused of throwing newborn down a garbage chute
Everett E. Conant II – Wyoming, charged with murder of 3 boys and brother, also shot wife who survived
Casey Anthony, FL - accused of killing her daughter, got off
Lindsey Lowe- TN confessed to killing her newborn twins
So please tell me where was all the outrage about these parents/stepparents who do these things.
Great line from one of my all time favorite movies! But I have to correct your quote: "you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming @!$%# be a father." :-) Obviously it's not just fathers that can be responsible for awful parenting.
Thanks Jen,
I also like when Tom Hulce is thrown from the moving car and he tells Jason Robards those were his friends and Robards reposnds "Friends slow down, they even stop."
Mother of the Year...What a disgusting person.
I completely agree with Steve. It really is crazy how any moron can have a child. Part of me feels like it should be regulated, I know it sounds absolutely insane, but look at the cases of neglect, abuse, etc. If only we could weed out the morons and keep them from breeding...
It is actually a nice thought, unfortunately one that will never happen. Just no good way of controlling people not having kids if they are unfit.
I don't think regulation in this case is insane at all. This kind of parent should be sterilized and never allowed to have custody of children again. Just because someone can reproduce doesn't mean they should.
How in the world does anyone think that it's OK to give a child alcohol? This mother is clearly off her rocker~CRAZY. Some people do not have a conscience. I don't understand WHY this woman would give her child alcohol. WHY?
Thismother needs some SERIOUS intervention, she needs to do lots of community service, as well as some jail time. After some serious therapy and parenting classes, she could eventually have some SUPERVISED visitation. If she can get her head screwed on straight, she might get her children back in a couple of years. This is really sad. The very person who is supposed to love you, protect you, look out for you, teach you, and set a good example for you, is the very one that ends up harming you.
Ok. Then we'll sterilize criminals. Then parents of criminals. Then people with genetic diseases. Then people of low IQ. Then atheists. Seriously, forced sterilizations? Isn't that what the Nazis were doing?
@Lorene: I'm surprised that you focus on the alcohol (which happens to be just beer) while she feeds her son COCAINE. In any case, such people need to be locked away.
@howie: Sterilize those who commit certain types of crimes, and leave it at that.
howieCA,
Sorry but I would must rather see religious people sterilized than atheists...
Seriously, just 2 years? This is a crime that could affect those kids for a lifetime and people like that shouldn't be on the streets!
I agree, but how long would be long enough? 18 years because she screwed up the kids' childhood or life without parole because she may have damaged them forever? perhaps they should investigate the exent of the damage before sentencing.
Give her ten years for every beer that her son can name. The article said that her son could name the beers he liked and the beers he didn't like.
A 4yr old naming beer of his choice was almost hilarious if it wasn't actually true. It sounds like a joke foxworthy would have come up with.
Focus on the cocaine, guys. That stuff is seriously damaging no matter how old you are.
She only got 2 years cuz she plead guilty... can someone say "plea bargain" just another perk of our
unjustice system2 years isn't enough.
And yet try to insist on parenting classes and receive grief from all quarters.
I took parenting classes and think that anyone would wants to have children should have to take them but how do you inforce that? the government can't even keep people from driving on our streets under the influence of chemicals.
make it a mandatory class in high school?
excellent idea except we can't barely get people to back sex ed as a mandatory class some states let parents opt out from it. Not the state I was raised in but some. In wisconsin sex ed is part of the required for graduation health class. now if only they would add a unit on parenting.
More education for people? What an extreme idea!
Parenting classes? People are freaking out these days because Gov. officials have suggested it is beneficial to your children to serve them nourishing food! The suggestion of parenting classes may bring some people completly over the edge.
Parenting classes in high school? Kids shouldn't even be thinking about parenthood at that time. They should think about getting an education that will lead to a productive life (and not productive in the sense of having babies). The best we can do is provide free birth control and pro-choice counseling and if need be, free abortions (needless to say, not in high school). Some people should not have kids and some kids no doubt wish they'd never been born. This woman is undoubtedly off her rocker and the kids should be taken away from her and placed in a loving environment.
The problem with parenting classes is that nobody can agree on HOW to parent well. Even parents often can't agree between themselves. And who would decide WHAT to teach? Especially when religion is thrown into the mix, you're treading on seriously thin ice when you deign to tell a person how to raise their children.
In most cases where parenting is taught, it teaches things like handling finances, dealing with stress, where to get help, and other things young parents need to know to deal with life with children. Not how to raise children.
The general hope and expectation is that people will at least follow the law, and treat others at least somewhat fairly, and that when their children grow up, they'll do the same. Unless we want to resort to something like Sharia Law, then we're stuck with the messiness of individuals raising their kids as best they can, and hoping they don't mess them up *too* much!
We already have sex-ed in high school and that doesn't seem to be doing much good because way too many schools are going the way of not offending our kids by telling them the truth about sexually contracted diseases, etc, etc-what it really means to get pregnant as a teen and have a child. There's no way parenting classes would work-parents and school boards wouldn't allow it because they wouldn't want to get sued by other parents thinking their kids are being taught too much, which, I think, is ridiculous-if you don't teach your kids this stuff, it's your own fault when they get in trouble. How's a parenting class going to work if you can't tell them exactly how not to get pregnant in the first place and avoid all the other dangers along the way? I've always been one for telling kids the total truth, and letting them make their own choices after they've been given all the facts about what could happen, supporting them when they mess up. No one ever said parenting was easy but if you're honest with your kids, it might not be so hard. This gal's parents obviously didn't care enough to try and raise their own daughter right before she grew up and had kids of her own.
is that like " Not telling the truth about anal sex and that it leads to death " ahh yes CDC has the Facts but why bother telling people the Truth when lies are more " Bussiness" healthy people do not provide the " steady income " that " Governments " need do they?
I know women who are unable to have their own children and these women would do anything in the world to have a healthy happy child. When I look at these ignorant a-holes who are given the beautiful gift of a child and then take it for granted by abusing them in this way really makes me wonder about how life works sometimes.
wow, just think of how messed up these kids will be later in life... now that they had the taste, im sure they are going to want more.
what would happen if they got into trouble related to drugs or alcohol, could they blame it on the mother, and potentially win?
yep courts are full of cases where the perp says it's mommy and daddy's fault and they get off.
They are? I've don't think I've ever heard of such a case outside of juvenile court, (in which case they'd remove the child from their parents). Something like "battered child syndrome" might get you off if you kill your abusive parents. And childhood trauma might be used at sentencing in some cases (but not very effectively, from what I've seen). But I'm certain our courts are not "full of cases" where defendants get off because of their upbringing. In fact, I'd guess that *most* repeat offenders had pretty poor childhoods.
The scum of our society doing what they are supposed to do and that is bring nothing but shame on their race. Note how there is never any mention of the father's in these cases because there aren't any, just random sperm donors. This is how IQ degenerates over time in certain populations.
Comment # 12 deleted for being a political derail that led to some slap fighting.
She needs to be spayed and locked up for life.She could have killed them both!I'm a nurse,get sick of pond scum reproducing and abusing their kids.They should give them away,or to an orphanage,where they may stand a chance!She should be jailed for life,she's a danger to all of society!
2 years is not enough. Kudos to the neighbor who flagged down the police and reported this. At least there are some decent people left in the world.
What hypocrites we are in this society where a 4 year old can be given amphetamine (in the form of adderall) but giving them one alcoholic drink, which raises the levels of phenylethylamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body that people with ADHD have been shown to have lower than normal levels of, will land you in jail and your kids in foster care. Wow, I started this post to be a sarcastic one, but I think I'm actually right about this. As far as the cocaine, I'll bet the kid was teething. Guess she should have used whiskey, like my mom did.
You should be locked up with her!
That's typical America. I should be locked up for saying whats on my mind!
Tom-4081566
let's not forget what voltaire said about that; "I may not agree with what a man has to say but I will defend with my life his right to say it"
Big pharma and Monsanto verses the natural cure: These poor parents probably could not afford their poison so they use there own and loos their child I agree Big Pharma Has No Idea What the Hell Their Drug Will Do to You .... Is Your Favorite Ice Cream Made With Monsanto's Artificial Hormones? Our society is sick with laws that make it hard not to break in just consoling your own child! The truth is there is a big market for adoption and law uses more to push babies right out of parents homes!
Say what's on your mind, but don't be offended when you piss off so many people saying she's right for giving her toddler beer and her infant beer and coke. Seriously? I can't even see a picture, but imagine she and her friend look like a couple of thugs.
Just because your mom didn't have the patience to parent doesn't mean that her giving you alcohol to shut you up was an acceptable practice. Any logical person would come to the same conclusion.
And cocaine for teething? How about baby aspirin? Something cold? Good god man. Yeah, cocaine may make it so they don't care, but it's also highly addictive and completely irresponsible to take as an ADULT, much less give out to an innocent child.
Cocaine is used medically as a local anesthesia. Look it up. It's a Schedule II drug, meaning it has approved medical uses. A tiny amount rubbed on the gums (similar to how people used whiskey, --topically!) will numb the area and stop the pain. I'm suggesting that this is what occurred, and this child was never given enough to feel any psychoactive effects. Cocaine is psychologically addictive only, and addiction COULD NOT HAPPEN, if used this way.
Not that this is relevant, quiet1-2233621, but I would imagine that she and her friend likely did not appear to be a couple of thugs.. cocaine is fairly expensive, as are select varieties of beer. It doesn't say she was giving them crack and 40's.
@ quiet1------Offended because I pizzed someone off?!? LOL. You are absolutely right, though, that she was wrong. After all, she IS in jail. I was trying to be sarcastic, as I've said. I just happen to be right about this. There was a time when alcohol and cocaine would have been in every homes medicine cabinet, and the reason they no longer are has more to do with Big Pharma (as clouds has stated) marketing different products to us now, that with the actual dangers of using alcohol and cocaine responsibly.
There's no evidence that she was doing things responsibly though.
When the mother gets out of jail, will the children go back to live with her? I am sure there will be some effort to make this happen. So sad.
Disgusting! 2 yrs. isn't enough time in jail. I would love to have just 5 minutes alone with each one of them. Betcha they wouldn't do it again when I got done with them. Pieces of garbage that needs to be taken to the curb. I pray those poor babies get to go live in nice homes with loving people.
WTF!? I wonder how many drugs she gave them when she was pregnant...
I cannot believe this woman is still alive in jail. Hope some mom that is jail for doing something to provide for her kids is in there with her. I hope the guards tell the real reason for her being in there. I know she wont.
I hope the kids are ok, and I hope they do alright going through DTs.
Whuussup Sistah??
This is a crazy article yes????
Many years ago I cared for a cocaine addicted baby. Not a pretty sight
I bet! One of my cousins was a RN at this hospital, and this dad brought his three year old in a week after he gained custody, because the kid had a HEART ATTACK! He got custody because she was feeding him meth to keep him up with her, so they could sleep at the same time. He had the heart of a 90 year old at 3! He died due to this. SAD!
Yes, CRAZY!
Im ok, gonna go drive my sweet rental, lol.
Omg that is so sick!! and so sad :-(
What did they end up giving you for a rental?
Does auto insurance cover for sugar in the gas tank?
Yes! Its on my comprehensive (thank GOD I decided that I needed the full coverage when I opened the policy), and I am driving an '11 Durango! SWEET car. I want one. I hope Santa loves me this year!
OH Thank Goddess for that!!!!
Durangos are nice!!!! :-) Good for you! Enjoy it!!!!
OH! Yes, yes I am! Love it, want one! Its got push button start on it!
Just kill her. No need to let her back in to the world. If you are this irresponsible there is no rehabilitation. Very sad. I agree. You should have to register and be ALLOWED to have children. State assistance? NO KIDS....You cant even take care of yourself! And so on.
Most places dont let you have assistance without kids...
Send her to Ohio in a bear suit.
Did the article say why she was giving the kids beer and coke? Two years seems short for potentially killing your kids....I would say at least 5 years and of course your kids are taken away permanently.
Yesterday, a 23 year old female drug addict was sentenced to 4 years in prison for a string of home burglaries she committed...including the burglary she did at my house.
When she broke into my house to rob me, her baby was strapped into a carseat in her car, right there in my driveway. She did three burglaries that morning with her child inside her car.
Some working couples these days choose to only have one child, while they surely could afford to have more. The problem with the population in this country is that the absolutely wrong people are having the babies.
There was a story on the news on Tuesday about a twelve year old boy being charged with murdering his two year old brother....their mother was 24 years old. The day a 12 year old girl gives birth to a baby is the day a recipe for disaster has been cooked to perfection. There are no possible good options.
Wow... I'm surprised that a 12 year old girl can survive that kind of trauma. Besides, what happened to safe sex and abortion? Clearly some people would rather have preteen kids giving birth than get rid of non-living organic masses before they gain sentience.
Just some more wonderful welfare moms living off the system with no concern for the welfare of their kids. Makes you wonder if "Precious" was really just fiction.
Proud American - the movie "Precious" non-fiction. Based on actual events of that persons life, not fiction.
I'm curious to know what beers the kid liked/didn't?!! lol
:-) "Four out of Five two-year-olds prefer Bud Light!"
As much as this article pisses me off, thanks for some wittyness. I appreciate it!
At least when my mom gave me alcohol and cocaine it was while I was breastfeeding. And at least I was 12.
Why NOT LIFE in prison for ATTEMPTED murder?
this PUNISHMENT does not even come close to the CRIME COMMITTED !!
Heinous as this was, I'm pretty sure she wasn't trying to kill her child. Attempted murder requires specific intent.
It's amazing isn't it that these 2 a$$holes find nothing wrong in what they've done? Perfectly normal behaviour for them! When your 4 year old can rattle off what BEER he likes or doesn't like and your baby is in a stupor from an alcohol/coke mix, these "people" need a longer stretch than 2 years, they also must not, MUST NOT be allowed to breed again. Normal people wish for a healthy child/children, these creatures don't deserve the honor of having children...
And so will you when your baby grabs a paper book off a counter and try's to eat it! 'Than Chokes' And the law finds you negligent for letting him get near the coffee table it's enzite thinkers like you that cause more un- needed laws and that are all used for one purpose-and one only to push children out of homes to sell in the biggest market their is baby sales! Just ask Nancy Shaffer she lies in a grave for standing against this evil!
Well Cloudy, there is a big effen difference in children having accidents and parents "giving" them drugs and booze, especially toddlers and small babies!! Don't ya think!! Well maybe you don't and judging from your answer you probably got caught doing the same thing, now you are the poster child for abusive and idiotic parents everywhere.
How you can even think that an accident, with a book, even remotely relates to abuse and downright stupidity, of supposed "adults", is beyond me. I, for one, am certainly glad that I can't make that leap of judgement between the two, then I'd be just as bad as you...
Wrong I am just sick of the Monsanto Satan drug lords sir If you did some actual research cocaine is a pain realever and it will numb the pain in teething but this industry does not want people having NATURAL CURES And as far as beer tell me where it's on the law of any book in the bible ? YOU ARE THE IDIOT NOT ME!
READ
Amphetamine and Pain Relief - IDMU Ltd. ... The effects of amphetamine are similar to those of cocaine, both affecting the same neural systems, amphetamine
Dear Cloudy, what fu*ken century are you in and from what planet? Every living thing knows right from wrong, but some choose not to do what is right. Not giving a small child beer doesn't have to be a law anywhere, it's called "common sense". Please give up now, I do not wish to engage in intellectual combat with an unarmed man/woman...
And which law exactly would you cite to enforce that requirement? Oh, you want to write a new one? Ok, so, what are the specifics? Any person who provides alcohol to a minor gets sterilized? Or do illegal drugs have to also be included? What about stores that sell (purposefully or unintentionally) to minors? Is there an age limit? 10? 5? 2? Does cough syrup with alcohol count? With codeine? What about states where it is LEGAL to give you own child alcohol in your own home? And what about sacramental wine? Well, it's all something Congress can work out, I'm sure, since they're so good at making important decisions like this, and it never matters who the current majority party is...
Howie, did you even read the effen article? You are just as bad as Cloudy, maybe you need to justify the way you treat your own children, I don't know, but the norm is you don't feed small children beer and coke, if you do, then you are nothing but an idiot, who's parents probably fed beer and coke instead of milk, so to you that's normal...
uhm not to interrupt your rant, but it is illegal to give alcohol of any kind to a minor, & last I checked I don't think the drinking age in any State has been lowered to 4.
Who says I support what was done to those kids? I do not. However, some states DO allow minors to consume alcohol in the home, and a tiny sip now and then wouldn't be especially harmful. But this was *definitely* not within the bounds of normal - or acceptable - behavior. My point was simply that forced sterilizations of bad parents is not something our laws permit, and something that would open up a HUGE can of worms even TRYING to design fairly and within the bounds of our constitution.
Now how about you can the personal attacks and discuss the issues at hand, ok?
listen smoking cigarettes is on it's way to being illegal to do in your own home if you like this Fascism a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology than move
to 'Nazi Germany' Keep thinking the way you do because we are on the way there! George Washington the first president smoked weed and if his child was in the same office or room than we would have never had a first president 'Of the United states of America' And he did and it is these kinds of lawless laws that have ruined our free country!
dude, adjust your medication please.
I smoke cigarettes and personally i hope i die soon so my eyes do not have too see my country burning from idiots like you and the others who do not know true law from your own twisted views of it!
[ personally i hope i die soon ]
Cloudy, I think that's what we're all hoping for...
And when i do your in for the surprise of your pathetic life!
Wow, I think a spell was just cast by Cloudy...
Wow, what an argument... why didn't Cloudy bring up other countries for his rant? Such as Germany... where it's legal for kids to have beer. From the time they are born they are allowed to consume beer. The only requirement at the bar is that you can see over the bar. Or what about Italy? Do they not consume wine at every meal? And isn't it the whole family that drinks wine, not just the adults? And if they do, are they arrested for doing it here when they vacation? These MAY be things that aren't true, but things I HAVE heard of over the years. Just curious...
2 years is light but considering the average for murder is about 8 its all in balance now if it had been crack she would be in jail for the rest of her life. See our crazy legal system is perfect for catch and release. Alcohol after all can not be bad its legal if it were bad like Weed is then it would be illegal so no harm no foul in that sense two years for alcohol to a minor is stupid and too long. Put the kid in jail for alcohol consumption by a minor that is worth at least three years for this tot. Hardened criminal on the loose and moving to a neighborhood near you...
