I can't even understand why people treat their kids that way. It is almost like they want to torture their kids. Many times the parents are so sick of having to please society they strike out at their kids. Other times parents are mad because their kids might make them look bad to others in society. Our family should be more important than our social status, but sadly that is not the way things are today or even in the past for many people.
We try to teach our young right from wrong and we try to persuade them to avoid those who are constantly lying. Yet they put politicians up on a pedestal.

Did you know there are judges here in Ohio that side with the lawyer who donated the most to their election over 90% of the time? Did you know that prosecutors are not only allowed but highly benefit from hiding exculpatory evidence during trials (including death penalty cases). Did you know that there's an official wrongful conviction rate of 10%... and that's just the people who can prove their innocence (very difficult to do). Did you know that over 25% of death row inmates get their sentence commuted to life in prison because it gets less scrutiny and is therefore unlikely to be examined closely and overturned?
Right there we have a 35% rate of death penalty cases that we know are wrongfully convicted. What is an acceptable number to you?
The massive number of appeals are a reflection of the massive amount of corruption in our system.

Hey we are all mad now.
So lets point out the woman's weight and call her things like "fat" and "pig".
YAH!!! Let's all carelessly bash body shapes, hurting more people in the process.
Cus we are not the savages...

If you read my whole reply and were able to comprehend, I said a prisoner could have one appeal. Death row inmates are granted five appeals in California, which is ridiculous. If you can't prove your innocence after a trial and one appeal, you deserve to die.

The point of that is she made her skinny little granddaughter run for three hours straight when she herself looks like she can barely walk for 30 seconds. As for "hurting more people in the process", at least she's still alive and walking around with her "body shape".

Not my point. My point is that this bashing of a human's shape is gross. Nobody seems to ever consider how hurtful it is "to others" to point out larger people screaming insults like "fat pig".
Its akin to seeing a black murderer and commenting on his color- not his act. Not cool.
Its below disgusting to bash and belittle people for the shape of their body...no matter what they have done. It also bashes others "who are not the criminal" for having similar body shapes.
Bashing body shapes is barbaric, shallow and wrong. Those who do it are usually horrible people.

Im an avid supporter of the Death Penalty, but IMO, this lady does not qualify. Her decision was not made to murder the girl, only to teach a lesson. Unfortunately the dumbass Grandmother was just plain ignorant and had no idea her actions would lead to the young girls untimely demise. Seven ears for manslaughter ought to do it.

Oh no! Manslaughter???? This woman made her run for 3 hours, no water! Her words were she will run until she drops! And that child did exactly that! While that child lay dying, she LIED to paramedics to cover up what she did, so paramedics could NOT adequately treat this child AND SAVE HER LIFE! There was a CHANCE and this woman BLEW IT! We are WAY past manslaughter! They lied and said she just dropped and had a seizure and they didn't know why! It was such a mystery! BS!! And WHILE that child lay dying SHE ASKED THE FARKING PARAMEDIC FOR A CIGARETTE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN IF THAT CHILD LIVED OR DIED! WE ARE WAY PAST MANSLAUGHTER!
