This is my first encounter with this story. It strikes me as SO no one else's business. The amount of money spent for Jahi's care or publicity or whatever other nonsense is negligible against the backdrop of how people and their governments spend their money, so even *that* bit of imagined...

He killed himself :( My grandson, almost four, is finally communicating with us on an iPad and a dry erase board. He smiles so sweetly when I tiptoe into his room to join him in his mysterious "doings", we just love him and accept that he is beautiful and strong, brilliant and capable exactly...

I doubt it would even occur to most 13 year olds to KILL and then kill again, because of insults against his mother.

She was breastfeeding, not taking a crap!

Head injuries are not always immediately fatal. A brain hemorrhage can be sudden/catastrophic, or sneaky and slower, taking hours and rarely, even days. Let's hope he just went unconscious due to increasing intracranial pressure (from the hemorrhage) and unconsciousness prevented much of his...

Licensure will not weed out or stop a confident narcotic diverter and psychopath. It won't prevent this kind of person from wreaking havoc, as we have too many medical doctors, registered nurses and other licensed healthcare workers busted every year for diversion or some form of patient abuse...

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002803.htm Windshield wiper fluid is mostly methanol, which causes severe organ damage, especially to the kidneys. Initially it causes nausea and vomiting. Those babies did not just go to sleep and die. They died slow and hard and in agony...

Up here in Washington state, we've had subnormal temperatures and excessive rainfall (for a place with already excessive rainfall) up until two days ago. It's been in the 70's since. The rest of the US has been either burning down or broiling :( . It's so strange to watch the news and relate...

For me, the bottom line is that this 12 year old boy beat a 2 year old to death. This takes some effort and intention :( . To persist in the assault until the 2 year old was near death or dead is "enough" for me to conclude this is a deeply disturbed young man. "Narcissistic" or antisocial or...

In this day and age, people should know better.

What is missing from your scenario is the little girl witnessing with relief her father saving her from a person who had been hurting her, who'd separated her from her family and began doing things to her that have a psychological impact upon her. How could this obvious piece be missed? IMO a...

Hmm, been reading about this for a couple of days, and still wish nothing but good fortune to this father who simply did what any decent father would do. I spend a ton of time in the domestic violence community, being a long term survivor, but reluctantly agreed that a victim who kills her perp...

Gawd, it seems so obvious, and finally, some judges are willing to take responsiblity for how utterly OBVIOUS it is.

It's a matter of the doctor failing to deliver a treatment he agreed to deliver. Apart from that, the very idea of suing the doctor for failing to eliminate a pregnancy that resulted in a wanted and loved child . . . indicates a mother greedy for funds. Doctors who fail to remove "all" of the...

From boytwnmom: You just put something into words I hadn't thought of. Protesting the word of Christians is just part of the fabric of free speech. Christians share a country and a world where they do not have a voice that convicts a significant number of their own countrymen. Protest is...
