I just got done reading an article from my home town newspaper about a recent homicide. A poor, innocent less than 6 month old baby, a newborn baby was murdered by her father whom was unable to provide comfort to the child to stop its crying. You know what the father decided to do to stop the child from crying? He shook and squeezed the baby and shook it, and squeezed it some more until finally the baby stopped crying. The poor baby ended up dying of abusive head trauma. She had several broken ribs on top of older broken ribs. He broke her poor little arm.  Can you imagine the pain that poor child suffered? It crushes my heart me to even think that way. But you know what's worse? The child's mother sat and watched the father abuse their newborn baby and did absolutely NOTHING!!! She watched him shake, squeeze and punch an innocent child unable to defend herself and did nothing. That hurts me the most. I can't tell you how disgusted and enraged it makes me feel reading such material. It boils my blood that such filth lives on this planet, is allowed to even breathe the same air we breathe. Any person that abuses a child, women, man, animal is scum to me. The people that sit back and watch abuse, a person being bullyed are just about as low as the abuser to me. I'm not one that can or will ever sick back and watch such acts take place in front or around me. If I don't like or agree with something I'm not at all afraid of saying so. There is so much evil in this world that it feels as if it completely trumps any and all good. I'm a pretty happy person. It's a rare occasion when I am down but reading stuff like this gets me every time. Why didn't anyone care enough to get involved? IP: Logged |

I don't know about her specific case (and papers are notorious for slanting stories to shock people in order to sell more), maybe she was too brutalized (Stockholm Syndrome?), choked herself, and/or intoxicated herself, just another victim. Or maybe she fully approved of her husband's actions, she could have even told him to do it (it happens, she could say she was sick of "it" and tell him to do whatever it took "to shut that brat up"). Or she could be one of those women who will "stand by my man no matter what" which a depressing number of women seem to be inclined toward. I did know of someone who caught some crap (though not prosecuted for it) for shooting her husband coming at her and her son with an ax (IIRC), and it wasn't the first act of violence, but she knew one way or another it was going to be the last, it was him or them (and he was the first to pick up a weapon while in a drunken rage). Gods, that just reminded me of someone I used to go to a shooting range with. Her daughter was molested by a man outside the home and when the mother was told she called the deputies (the little girl was hoping her mother would shoot him...maybe that's because he threatened to kill her mother if she told but if it was vengeance she wanted she got it in spades as the little girl had an uncle in the same jail who took beating the crap out of that child molester repeatedly so he couldn't even walk straight when in court while deputies took a long time to "find the right key" to get in there to stop the beatings, I'm just glad he confessed to it as I'd hate an innocent man had been subjected to that). What was terrible is that as the investigation grew to other girls who had been molested (that he'd admitted to) it had somehow got out that she (the mother) had been the one to report him and then the girl was subjected to all sorts of nastiness from the kids at school, never mind that she probably saved some of the girls who tormented her over it from the same abuse, and as seems typical the faculty and bus drivers refused to do anything about it even when happening right in front of them. It was bad enough that her mom took her out to homeschool her. That little girl was lucky to have such a mom, a great many kids don't have one that cares like that. I actually saw a mother cash a child support check for beer at a convenience store when I was a teen. The mother asked if she could and the woman behind the register said so and sympathized thinking the man didn't pay enough as she didn't get much change back. Of course the fact she bought at least a case of beer (I forget what else) should have been enough for her to lose custody, IMO, but our system and society have this romantic notion that the best place for kids is always with their birth mother no matter what. And it's even worse for them by the time they're teens. IP: Logged |

Wow, Pixie! That's intense.I'm not sure what the deal was with the mother. I know the father was charged with homicide and she with child endangerment and a couple of other charges. She was aware of the abuse and never reported it. Never took the baby in to receive medical care. I'd imagine they never slept and he snapped. Sleep deprivation is awful but to seriously harm a baby to death is wrong. The mother is also currently pregnant again with another baby. It'll more than likely be given to the state so more money for tax payers to pay. It's very sad. That little girl is lucky to have a mom like that. I told mine things and she never believed me, and is in fact still with the loser. Some women should never have the ability to procreate. If they're willing to accept and put up with crap then all we can do is hope for the best. Child support is such a joke!  My sperm donor owes so much back child support it's comical. I'm not at all suprised at that and know that it still happens. Child support is hardly ever used for the support of the child. Inadequate, lazy parents are everywhere. IP: Logged |

It truly is! The amount of babies being born to underaged, unmarried or uncommitted parents is just awful, imo. The number just keeps growing and growing. Babies are having babies and its we, the taxpayers, that are paying for them. It isn't fair. Not enough people taking responsibility for their actions. My parents weren't married, my dad hardly involved but it was my mom that did all that she could for myself and my siblings. Worked as many jobs she needed to provide for us. You rarely see that nowadays. People are too lazy and would rather the government provide them the means to take care of their families. IP: Logged | |
