I have nothing to say within TOS.
In Indiana, the death sentence is given only in murder cases that involve circumstances such as rape, robbery, arson or if the victim was a child or law enforcement officer.
I am a bit shocked not by the depravity, because I am numb to that most days now. What I find so surprising is that methheads would waste their all fired precious dope by putting it in the kids' bottles. I have only known one person who I know for a fact was on meth. But I know quite a few crackheads.
Based on their behaviors which are often similar to those of methheads, I cannot imagine them "wasting" their dope in such a manner.
Has there been any mention thus far of social services being involved at all in these kids lives? I don't think I've seen mention, but could have missed it.
Re: "Mom's" mugshot. She doesn't look pizzed to me. She looks bored, stupid, clueless and effed up. Kind of "OK. Take my picture, don't make me wait, get it over so I can leave. Doesn't everybody put meth in a baby bottle?" As for BF, who cares?
Why do these degenerates throw away perfectly good little children? I'll NEVER get their reasoning. :jail::jail:
Sorry if this has already been posted, it's the news report where Owen's bio dad read the court documents live on air. He said afterwards he no longer has any support for his ex, Breanna, and at the end says of Owen "I hadn't seen him for 2 months, now I have to bury him"

Two months? I've never heard of a custody agreement where you go that long without seeing your child.
Back to the autism diagnosis......I have a feeling this is not usually something a doctor is just going to up and diagnose on a regular well-child visit, right? I would think to be diagnosed, especially at such a young age, the child would have to have a quite astute and observant parent who would then bring up their concerns to a doctor. Fair assumption?
Something tells me this was not the case here.
I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this subject-my youngest child (now a young adult)was diagnosed with autism at age 3, after pediatrician referred us to a specialist. I will never forget that day as long as I live-the day he was diagnosed with autism was the day our lives changed forever.
To me, it is among the cruelest of the disabilities- up until age 2 1/2, everything was normal-hitting all the usual milestones, my spouse and the child's older siblings had all the usual hopes and dreams for him. All that suddenly comes to an end, when your seemingly normal child loses language, developes strange behaviors etc.
Years of treatment have maximized his potential for as normal a life as possible within his abilities. I am sorry -I can't type any more-keyboard tears.
