Stories that make your heart ache..

[DISKOQUEEN99]

I was just watching the news and they just reported a story about a woman who was arrested, put in jail and didn't tell anyone she had a 2yr old at home alone. So, wherever she was arrested, she had already left the child in the home alone. The little girl was alone 3 wks in the apartment and survived on ketchup and dried pasta. How can people do stuff like this to their kids? Drown them, shake them, shoot them in the chest. How can a person look in the eyes of a child and do stuff like that? This hurts me as a parent.


EDITED.

respectfully, what does her race have to do with it? humourously, sounds like a smart kid, prolly gets her survival skills from her mama

Honestly,if someone else came here and posted the same way you did and they were white,it would be hell.I understand where ya getting at,but sometimes I just don't know.

This has nothing to do with you,but I know that there are abusive folks of all colors.I don't know,sometimes you should be pc and sometimes I just say speak ya mind.nevermind me...I'm going to have a drink and think on some shit.

Just threw it in there, no disrespect intended.

I am happy this child survived. I mean, at two years old, she had the instincts to think, "hey, I'm hungry..I'm going to eat." Amazingly enough, she didn't go messing with any harmful household products, electrical things, etc. Two year olds are usually messing with everything. She was lucky. They didn't say what the mom was in jail for, only that the father had been trying to contact the mother about the child for about 2wks and it was only after his repeated attempts had failed and he went to the residence with his concerns that the landlord let him in and they found the child. Thankfully, he was checking up on the welfare of his child.

Two out of three ain't bad. May the mother be inspired by this to reunite with them.

I was particularly happy about the father coming to find his child because a lot of times, men get a bad rap overall. Yes, there are some who don't know anything about their children except that that's why they have this deduction coming out of their paychecks. But, there are some who do care and some even seek custody of their kids. I know a couple myself and I gotta give them their props for that. There are deadbeat moms as well as dads out there.

Thank You! I wish the (family)court system would see it that way too.

[DISKOQUEEN99]

Seriously. I'm in the courts building and this guy asks me how he can give financial support to the mother of his child without bringing it in court. I asked him if there was a case in the system already and he said no. So I'm like, well why are you down here??!! He didn't know how to go about it, but if he had gotten to a clerk, they would have had him in the system, SS# and all. He was trying to avoid the whole court thing. He and the mother were cool. (He was there alone). I told him give her money orders only because she could come into court if they had a falling out and say he never gave her a dime and they'd get him for back support and he'd have no proof of payment. He was very thankful for the advice. He was a young guy and I was just happy to see that he was trying to do the right thing. Once your name gets in those computers, they're all up in your business and some people are mature enough to do right by their kids without outside forces.

Some woman/men were just not meant to be a parent.. :(

Good advice! you should told him to be consistant with the money or else he might just return to that building and then they'll really hit' em up for the loot! I know of a guy who would take home A $1.00 after child support got through with his pay check.

peace,

Damn, how many kids did he have?! I just thought about the guy who I think was a phlebotomist and he and his child's mother were in and out of child support court. He didn't want to pay, the kid was about 11 months old and he shot the kid up full of the HIV virus. Hoping against hope the kid would not survive therefore taking away the need for payment. That had to be one of the most severe acts of cruelty. I don't know if the kid is still alive. No, some people don't deserve to be parents. I'm going home to hug my little boy. graemlins/mecry.gif

he's 32 raising three beautiful, smart, adorable girls by himself and they have no female influence. they've got street smarts as well, they know they're mom is strung out.

i think i'm going to go by there tonight and bake some brownies with them or something.

Just by the fact that he has stepped up to the plate may deter his girls from seeking love and/or a fatherly figure in a man that might be twice their age. People have said a women can't raise boys to be men, yet some men are left to raise their girls to be young women. That's a lot to take on at his age, but he is doing it, as some might hesitate or be overwhelmed by the thought of it. Two thumbs up to you for willing to be a presence in the girls' life. Kids shouldn't have painful memories of their childhood.

i'm all good tho...

anyway, the girls already know way too much grown up stuff for their ages. they are around too many men. i adore them too much now to just turn my back on them. its one of those situations where i don't want to get too involved, because its really and truly fecked up. and its not over and done yet between him and their mom. yet, i want to make a positive difference and be active in their lives.

thank god me and their daddy are just friends.
