a bit odd that it's suddenly okay to use on a young mom
Case-by-case...and in this case she got what she deserved. And from the looks of this mug shot, I think she should have been body slammed as well...

She learned her lesson. Next time she'll bring the baby into the tanning booth with her, like a good mother would. Haha! Poor kid though, has a moron for a mom. She deserved a Taserin for that no doubt.

sometimes i add "ka" to it. so it would be KABONKERS. lol wonder where that's from. lol i think it was from a cartoon, when i was a kid.
new moms make quite a few mistakes. just for the record. usually your first child is your test child lol the one that breaks ya in and teaches you not only about life and love, but about many other things as well. we learned from the mistakes we made with our first child, so when our next 2 came along, they benefitted from it.
if her hormones were wildly fluctuating, her baby collicky, no one to babysit for her, perhaps an absentee father, this all adds up to major stress attacks for first time moms. not saying what she did was right, but sometimes your stress level can get so high, you have to find some way to escape it. she just chose one of the many wrong ways, in america. had she lived somewhere else, probably wouldn't have been the same.

you know, i think now would be a good time too, to remind everyone that there are no state run mental institutions. crazy people are often put in prison. imagine, you have a medical condition like a bi-polar disorder, and they put you in prison for it, instead of sending you to a medical facility for mental health care. or you have a gimp foot, and they put you in prison for it, instead of a hospital. lol it's an exaggeration yes, but not as much as you might think. in the usa, all our mentally ill people are in prison! it's a human rights tragedy of epic proportions.

As a parent of both my own and an adopted child, is there a tighter bond with natural children over an adopted one? Yes, because your natural child reminds you of other people you love as well as your own childhood as they remind you of yourself. Is that difference significant? Not really, its a subtle thing. There is no way that this kid would not be better off in another setting, whether that is another family or a well run institution. I know that I'll get grief about the institution bit, but it is a better thing than being with an incompetent and neglectful parent. Why? Because in an institutional setting the childs notion of trust and the conception of what a loving family is is not destroyed like it is when she is living with trash like this woman

It's called sarcasm, I guess it had to be pointed out to you. I'm sorry I didn't use perfect grammar on the internet, will you forgive me? Why are people defending this P.O.S? I used to baby sit my neice everyday at age 18 and she was 3 months, and I never, EVER thought about leaving her alone for 1 sec. This little girl doesn't deserve a baby.

Hey, I am not defending her actions - I am just getting a bit bothered by the over-reaction and the hatred spewed at her!
If she wasn't a single mother, would y'all hate her so bad? I read a true story about a married daddy who left his 9 year old daughter in his car while he went and hit the booze. The child lost her feet, because the heater stopped running and she froze before daddy thought of coming back.
No repercussions for him! (Other than his own conscience - eventually).

I was lucky my Grandmother and my aunty were able to take care of my brother my sister and me and we didn't have to get fostered out. I couldn't imagine what your world was like. I don't think it's the mother that has got everyone worked up. Its negligent parents in general that seems to be the problem. The children matter more than a tan. Thats it. The sex of the parent dont count. Like i said if she needed a licence for a child, she would of been DENIED. She would of failed at the question. WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT, A CHILD OR A SUNTAN? We know what she answered dont we?
