I'm aware of equally if not more tragic happenings in this world for something like this to be hard for me to swallow.

What I find interesting is how people who have contradicting beliefs and morales can coexist in the same culture. I suppose sometimes they don't, and this is why we get 'shocking' stories such as the OP.

Have you got kids Jello?

My view is definitely coloured by being a parent.

Jello · 10-09-2008, 19:06

I'm not a parent. That shouldn't allow you to assume I can't appreciate your perspective. Though it would be hard for me to convince you otherwise.

Fayshun · 11-09-2008, 08:21

I haven't assumed you can't appreciate my perspective at all.

Don't get me started on social services.

As for this case, name the bastards if convicted.

I had a high school teacher who said she thought people should be have to get a license to have children...things like this make me tempted to agree. Nobody should have to suffer that, least of all an innocent baby.
