I haven't had it since I was a kid...the one I keep having now is the college-forgot-I-had-a-class-untill-the-final deal... ...I graduated college like fifteen years ago but I still have it...but whatever... The worst one I ever had was my family abandoning me. It involved me being locked in a yellow Fleetwood while my mom and grandma floated away in a hot air balloon...and it sucked. So I can imagine...in my worst nightmares...what it's like for these kids. You know what? I want these people dead. I want these fuckers lined up against a wall and I want their throats cut. I don't care if "they can't handle them". I don't care how awful it is to raise these children. I want 'em dead dead fucking DEAD! So have I got fucked up priorities?
Not going to disagree. But I hardly think these kids are Wally and the Beaver, nor are the families the Waltons. There are probably a whole host of problems. Kids being chronic problems, etc. Again, no excuse. Obviously there are a whole host of other things that should be done, like counseling for one.
Don't...fucking....care. There are other things that could have been done. Abandoning them like this ruins them. They're done. Mommy and Daddy don't care about them. How will they ever trust anyone?
Even though it's technically legal in Nebraska for the moment ... if they're the kind of parents who are willing to abandon their kids like that, I'm betting they've probably done plenty of other things they could be prosecuted for. And the kids would probably be more than willing to turn them in.
Huh. I thought you were going to say that a black man would be elected President and he would come in the night and take your guns away. What?
Which would you rather have, MAOHS, dropping the kids (okay - abandoning the kids) at a firestation or police station or a hospital where they are safe and alive, or read about a parent going ballistic and the kid will be buried on Friday? Sounds to me that the folks realized there was breaking point being reached and they did something to protect all concerned
Just because it was your worst nightmare doesn't mean it was for the children involved. For all we know it was a blessing, or at the very least the lesser of two evils. I don't like it either but surrendering your children to authorities has a lower rank on the list of awful things parents do.
It's fucking horrible. It seems like every other day we hear about another unwanted kid being dropped off here. The last one was 10 or 11 I think and they came all the way from Minnesota. I wonder if the kid knew the whole time they were driving.
I'd propose an amendment to the law that if the child is, say, 13 or over, the hospital hands them a gun and sends hem back to the parents.
