OT: Her new facebook status: "OMG my baby just drowned wtf???" 5 likes wtf?
I hate to say this but that really isn't the case, even with a system such as that one. There is still due process; that phrase is only usable once you get into the court system. You first actually need to be charged with a crime, the police need decent enough evidence to obtain an arrest warrant and they need to make sure they have enough evidence to hold their case in court.Pirate Kitty said:
Really the phrase isn't any different from the other one, except now its you defending your innocence, rather than the prosecution proving your guilt
But she is fit to "chop, saute and bake her way to the top of the culinary world". On Facebook.Lem0nade Inlay said:
Just like Mr.Chibz. In a nursery.
New technology doesn't have any bearing on bad parenting. You really think that there weren't babies falling into ponds and drowning during pioneer times? If a parent is going to be distracted from their child then they're going to do it whether it's talking to someone or internet or a book or taking a nap or whatever. Facebook, while annoying, is not to blame here, she is.
Fixed. Doesn't matter what you're doing, you NEVER leave a 1 year old child alone when there's something that can harm them.Irridium said:
Why do you pull the same straw man for every single thread that has some sort of legal background to it? It's not like they're charging her with murder. They're charging her with negligence, and she admitted to neglect.Pirate Kitty said:

She admitted to leaving the child alone in the affidavit as a pattern of behavior. A jury is deciding whether or not they determine it a criminal offense, not whether or not she did it. That's in writing.
It's not a matter of not being able to have one. I just don't see their purpose. I see them as a drain on the person who they "Belong" to while providing zero benefits. I don't like a thing about them, or them themselves. It's just almost biologically hardwired into our brains to be mesmerized by their "cuteness". It doesn't work with me.Tourette said:
If I were to adopt (I'd never do the baby thing) it'd be a child already past that awful state. Past being a larva.
I hope she remembered to update her status with "Drowned my Baby.".
"Preternaturally independent?" Wow, what a load of crap. Probably means the poor thing was neglected A LOT.

She'll live with that for the rest of her life. I'm glad I'm not on that jury, I would have a difficult time deciding which way to vote.
Really? I use Facebook on a daily basis and I'm no more irresponsible than I was. Please don't generalize; not everyone who uses Facebook are the kind you read about. Although there are a fair amount of dicks on it...Cid SilverWing said:
Anyway, that is sad news. He couldn't live his life because his guardian was too busy doing something else of a lesser value and because of her irresponsibility.
She is a bad parent and should be ashamed.
Would it make sense to say that if she was playing a game like I don't know, Half-Life or Bioshock, it wouldn't be as bad?Sion_Barzahd said:
Because that's what I'm reading right now. Sure we can all agree that most facebook games are terrible but if it was a gaming masterpiece that would still be just as bad.
Wow...
I'm sorry but a one year old is too young to be in a damn tub full of water! That's why you have those mini ones that can fit in the sink! Even then, you don't fucking leave them alone! They can barely sit up straight!
Hell, I have 2 nephews that are 4 years old and their bath water stops at their legs and we check at 60 second intervals.
The saddest part was that he was probably still alive if she'd thought to try and give him baby CPR or something. (I assume by the gurgling) Maybe the lady didn't know how...
What I wanna know is what made her admit it after all this time. Guilt? The kind that was driving her insane? Or was she afraid they'd find out on their own?
