sad story

[ScareCrow57]

Wait, what? While I agree that liberal social programs have gone too far, nothing but nothing can be used to shift the blame off these POS. They are 100% to blame, the only thing that society can be blamed for is allowing them to breathe our air. Screw the rain forests lets off some of these people and conserve on air.

Its just hat after generation after generation after generation of supporting the same families they have become totally ignorant. They no longer posses and basic human instincts as the government social programs have rid them of all responsibility. They start dropping ki9ds at 12 leave school officially at 16, and expect the government to provide everything from babysitting (AKA head start) to their drugs. While I agree these twits (all 3 of them) should be charged and 100% responsible, our society has allowed them to be come this stupid.

[ScareCrow57]

Nah, according to him people who aren't on welfare would have never done anything like this

Marcus my friend, Please, I expect better from you. We both know that the generational support of these welfare people has dumbed them down.

2 Year Old and 3 year old left home alone. An excellent case of why we need to educate those on welfare and make them become more responsible for their actions. I partially blame our liberal social programs for people like this.

Good lord man, educate people on welfare to know that it is wrong to leave children that young home alone? Are you insane? They knew damn well it was wrong, they just don't give a good God Damn about it. Kids are a commodity to them they will just pop out a couple more. The mere fact that the aunt was so cavalier about the death and more worried about her purse and Food Stamp card speaks volumes to me. She is LAUGHING at the end of the interview. Jesus Christ what the **** is wrong with people today?

I care more about the Brother Firefighters that had to suffer the pain of removing those 2 children that I do about the theatrical screams of the mother and the idiotic aunt. I hope the Borthers get the help and support they need.

Seriously folks, civilization is doomed. Every day I see the end getting closer and closer. damn I am glad i am closer to retirement than to just starting out. if we don't see some changes real soon in this country we are going to die as a nation and it is going to be an ugly, painful death.

Nice right wing Rush Limbaugh attitude. Everyone on welfare is generational and damn near retarded because of it. BULL ****. Nice stereotype.

By the way do you have any type of legitimate study to back up your rantings or are you gonna pull out another wikipedia trump card. If you don't have evidence nothing you said means jack squat. Oh wait, that's nothing new is it?

Generation after generation after generation of right wing families have become totally ignorant. They no longer possess any basic human compassion. They have received home schooling for the last 3 generations, and get their science education out of the Bible. They are all gun toting individuals who run illegal moon-shine operations. They don't pay taxes and shoot any Government official on sight. They lynch people who are different from them and are all inbred.

Man, making up totally baseless accusations and stereotypes is really not that hard. No wonder you do it so much. Especially since we don't have to back this up with any proof whatsoever.

(And just to clarify, this is sarcasm)

I dealt with a similar situation about 20 years ago. We couldn't get to 2 kids in time. As I was carrying the body of a three year old girl to an ambulance, the grandmother asked me if I had found her money on the kitchen counter. I could only continue to walk past her.

She didn't even look at the child. She didn't show any emotion towards the kids. I was hoping she was in denial or shock, or maybe even not grasping reality.

After the follow-up investigation, she was charged with second degree manslaughter. She had left the kids unattended and had gone to a next door neighbors to visit. She stated that she forgot she had left a deep fryer full of taters going. I attended the trial. I felt pretty sick when I saw her smile about leaving the deep fryer on. The jury didn't miss it either; 2 years, but suspended with a $1000 fine. Pretty cheap for a couple of kids.

Yea, we found the money... it was a little burnt and crisp... but not as much as her grandchildren.

Some days I just have to wonder...

Sorry, just reflecting back to another disgusting human events story. Pardon me while I go take a shower.

We actually had a similar situation here in Memphis a few years ago...Mom locked her kids (7 and 9 years old I think) in her apt while she went out partying on New Years Eve. They both died. The mom was charged with criminally negligent homicide.

I don't think they have filed any charges in this case yet. Child Services has it. They may be waiting to see how the two year old does. Who knows. I will post it when they do something.

Oh yeah that's right liberals told her it was alright fo rher to leave her to infants home alone. My mistake. I thought it was stupidity that breeds stupidity.

AMEN!!! They are in my prayers.

Thanks Fyredup for this point.

[Leeland]

People never fail to amaze me with their concerns over property, cash, or whatever but when it comes to family members they seem to care less. Its a sad world we live in when people are more concerned about a purse and food stamps and not the loss of a loved one.

[xchief23]

Yep, we had a fatal car/motorcycle accident about 6 weeks ago. Woman on a cell phone plowed into the back of the bike which was almost stopped to turn into a driveway. We worked the biker but mainly because his brother was standing there and had witnessed the wreck. I had a hell of a time getting any information from her for the report and patient refusal because she was on the same cellphone arguing with her insurance company about getting a rental car. Absolutely not one ounce of remorse.

This just makes me sick. What would cause these people to have their heads planted so far up their butt to even phathom such a thing as leaving a 2 and 3 year old home alone?!?!?!?! I can't even begin to imagine what kind of person would do that as I don't even like leaving my kids in the house alone just long enough to check on the grill cooking dinner, and they are 8, 11, and 12.

[Tonyg26]

my kids (teenagers now) have and will always be my most precious possession. Others dont have that viewpoint - some will say it is isolated, others will say it is the gene pool, but I think it has a lot to do with society today - too much hype about partying and socializing, not enough hype about responsibility and duty AND DEFINITELY NOT ENOUGH PUNISHMENT TO FIT THE CRIME...(See previous posts in this thread about similar events and the ridiculous sentences)

Not so much the liberals, but the class of people these programs have developed. They have learned they don't have to be responsible for anything and get away with it. Our social programs sent them down the slippery slope of failure.

Personal responsibility can't be abdicated regardless of your financial status. To blame the welfare programs for a blatant breach in the norm of human caring is, in my opinion, an over simplification of the problem. The problem is not financial, it is moral, look at those that act irresponsibly. In most cases it is either the poor or the uber rich. How would you explain the similar behavior from the rich?

[L-Webb]

Look you can't change people who don't care about anything but theirself. I always use stories like this to teach my children how not to act in life. You should see the look on their faces sometimes when I tell them these things, they say I can't beleve that there are people like that in the world. It's a shame. And it's always the kids who suffer, I would fight to the death to defend my children from anything as would my wife..... as would anyone on here when it comes to that . But not all kids are as luckey as ours. It angers me and its sad

[txchf1]

I can't believe her attitude. I will have to say the reporter did a good job of finishing the interview without slapping the hell out of her. Dont know that I could have done that. Hopefully the Memphis guys understand it was not their fault. I know they did everything humanly possible to save those poor kids.

[TNFF319]

Just so everyone knows, the mom and aunt have changed their story three time. They were shopping, or hanging with the dude, or picking a kid up at school. They aren't sorry they just don't wanna go to jail. Kids are just objects in most parts of the city.

This is all very true. But we have created a system that practically rewards irresponsible behavior. Not getting enough in you monthly check? Have another kid and get more money. Personally, I have always said that make these people get out of bed at 5 am and report to a facility every day. If there is temp work for them send them on it. No work then hang out all day. Don't show up, no freebie for you.

[MarcusKspn]

So according to your reasoning then Europe (the welfare continent) is being overrun by irresponsible parents who are popping out children left and right to be rewarded even more for their irresponsibility. After all, welfare begets irresponsibility.
