Very interesting, thanks! As I see it this also plays into "hot car" cases where the parents are not charged because it is assumed that the parents loved the child enough to be sufficiently "punished" by their death, thus treating the child more like the parent's property than an actual human...

What about the sensors in newer cars that turn the airbag off if someone under xx? pounds is in the passenger seat? Are they not 100% reliable, or why can't you put an infant car seat in those seats?

Bbm. Agreed. I actually don't think he intended to kill his child. I just think he got too immersed in something selfish to meet his minimum responsibilities of being a parent. Whether it was sex, drugs, sleep, work, or hell--even preparing an anniversary surprise for his wife, it still...

They are going through the motions but I predict no charges will be filed in this "tragic accident" and we will be asked to give the family privacy in their "time of grief" and the media will dutifully pack up shop and go home (if they haven't already). Even a "special prosecutor" doesn't want...

The psychology of those who actively seek "victimhood" is fascinating. As a society I think we need to better understand why people are craving and clamouring for what we once sought to avoid.

That's where my mind is going, too. Or, I am reminded of the foster parent (in Kansas, I believe?) who had just scored some dope and had to scurry inside to enjoy it before the baby woke up. (Sorry, can't remember names in that case but I think it was two dads with several adopted and foster...

But still, how often was HE home when the child WASN'T home? If he had such a demanding job that he couldn't regularly be "burdened" with childcare/drop-off/pick-up, how accustomed could he have been to being in the house without the child there? It shouldn't have taken him 4 hours in the...

I wonder if he thought of himself as a juvenile when he was dating a 20 year old woman? Or when he was "working to put food on the table" according to his granny? I guess you can have it both ways these days.

Why, that's because the family is asking for privacy from the big, bad, nosey public, of course! http://www.katv.com/story/29628812/small-child-found-dead-in-hot-car-in-hot-springs

Bbm. Bingo. This guy was doing something he shouldn't have been. 2-year-olds can ask questions and tell stories. He couldn't afford to have the child wake up and see what he was doing, nor could he afford to have police coming to his house.

I'll put her in with the inarticulate beauty pageant contestants. The poor little dear just isn't very smart, is she?? She travels all over the world-- she couldn't wait until she was in...oh, Idk..."such as, the Iraq" to say she hated Americans?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtkX3OyPF4Q

http://www.startribune.com/charges-expected-monday-in-death-of-minneapolis-2-year-old/307380571/ Sorry if this sounds judgmental or elitist but why was he living with his grandparents "for several years" when his mother is alive and well enough to show up in court and yell out in support of...

BBM. I feel in a justice-seeking mode.

It will keep happening until it is treated as the crime that it is. You would get in more trouble for leaving a baby in an air-conditioned home all day, where he or she actually had a fighting chance to survive! What makes a CAR such a magical "get-out-of-jail-free" card, FGS? I'm sorry if...

I'm the biggest ditz in the world and I've never done it.

I am sorry, but may I just say that this guy is the most pathetic loser in the entire history of stupid criminals? A quick perusal reveals that the mods kicked him off those medhelp forums because he was continuously whining/seeking reassurance about possible HIV symptoms over a period of 5-6...

I have had this slogan as the screen saver on my phone since Friday. I thought it might help give me perspective when I think I'm having a stressful day.

Thanks popsicle, this made my day. So precious!

So true. In addition to the favorable employment rate I think Nebraskans in general have an excellent work ethic. I have to stay off the comment pages as I already have high blood pressure and they seem to be dominated by those with extreme views that in no way represent our community. In my...

Lol, exactly! I have sons in their teens and twenties. I show them these stories and have told them in no uncertain terms that they simply cannot afford to have consensual sex with anyone that they are not in a serious, committed relationship with. I am not a Puritan or a prude, it's just not...
