I need to clear up a few things.
When I said "jumped on" I was referring to their words, not them. Jump on whoever you like.
We don't know that they deserve any empathy, but neither do we know that they don't.
I am also fiercely anti drugs, I have never touched anything other than alcohol and pain relief drugs during childbirth. Part of me cannot comprehend how competent individuals can make the choice to bring drugs into their lives. But it happens daily. The picture that earlier posts and photos of theirs paints compared to now suggests to me that somewhere along the way something went awry.
I looked at comments under a MSM article and the things people were saying...It is my opinion and my opinion only, that if I was to feel ill will towards these people, and call for their murder, or their drowning or anything like that, then I am no better than they are. If other people want to hate them, despise them and discount them, then that is their decision, but I have just as much right to post my feelings on here as anyone else.
I am able to loathe their actions, regret their choices and wish that those children had been dealt the hand in life they deserved, while also recognizing the fact that these two people were also someone else's baby once.
I don't want them to be harmed but if either one or both are the reason Noah is dead I do 100% want them punished to the fullest extent of the law.
I cant stand what child abusers do and those who grossly neglect defenseless helpless children who are at their mercy when no mercy is given.
But wasting my time hating all of these pathetic worthless defendants that are discussed here at WS? Nope, but I sure detest vehemently what they do to their victims. These type of parents destroy lives ........if the child lives they create ever lasting emotional scars.
I don't think a DA would bring charges he cant prove BARD.
We are all judged on what we do with our lives at the present time. This couple is no different than others. It really doesn't matter if they both were angels at one time. They are now charged in 2015 with abuse and neglect of both of their children. They will be judged by a jury on the facts as they exist now and not what happened in the past unless the abuse and neglect had been ongoing for years. Many criminals have no criminal history at all before they committed a heinous crime......some don't even have traffic tickets. Of course their past history has nothing to so with the charges at hand.
I must have missed the posts saying they hate this couple, but even if so, I realize emotions run very high when it comes to a dead child.
I don't know of anyone that 'likes' a child abuser or one who grossly neglects their children to the point of the living child being removed from the home. I can understand the anger and frustration toward these parents.
I don't hate them but I darned sure don't like them nor what they stand for. Child neglectors and child abusers are the scum of the earth to me. The only thing worse is a pedophile who preys on children. I don't think there will be many people who DO like them.
I am not going to assume Noah's death was an accidental overdose. If drugs of any kind/// especially illegal drugs were given to Noah.... they murdered him imo.
For all we know this could have been premeditated and until we know what happened to Noah I am not giving his unfit parents any sympathy.
My sympathy will remain with Noah and his baby sister.
If that's harsh then so be it.
