The mother and boyfriend definitely have some serious issues. You have to wonder if they were abused themselves in their childhood by their parents?
It is just sickening to say the least. Definitely bad parenting. Maybe parenting learned in their childhood. Just a thought.

I agree. Its a bit harsh to lock these morons up.
Its also a bit scary to see so many American's cheer for it.
Me personally, I would consider what the parents did child abuse. Lock them up, they deserve it. Especially considering that this isn't the first time that they've done something this despicable.

I agree that its poor parenting. When you consider that they were trying to punish her for not doing homework it just seems like they are stupid people. I think Parenting Classes and maybe some monitoring are in order. But to break up a family over that seems insane. Its very likely that those poor kids are missing their parents right now.

Good point on not breaking up the family. I'm with you on that. Rehab is definitely in order for all of that family.
I do agree with jail, maybe a day or two, to give them time to think about their actions. I feel that the children should have went to another family member instead of foster care though. I don't agree with putting them in foster care. Especially if there are other family members around.edit on 9-5-2012 by kimish because: (no reason given)
