Internet divided on mom who left baby in shopping cart

[Banshee Prince]

Sweet Jesus, this woman is a drug addict. Drugs are the devils work. It is no wonder she attempted to sell her child in a parking lot. They should send her and her children to church for an exorcism. Just to be safe.

I'm pretty accepting of the fact that people screw up.

[Kathandira]

Meh, there are more important issues than this to be concerned about. Live and let live, we are only human.

To you, I ask as well, does that spread to her child dying or being kidnapped due to her negligence? Since Winter is too much of a coward to answer.

No, but her child dying would be a tragic mistake. Key word on "mistake" here. People screw up driving every day and their kids get killed. We don't attack them for being terrible parents. We console them for their tragic loss.

The Washington Post did a big article on this last year. Also, 60min did a piece on the same thing. Children being left in cars was the main focus. The thing is that it happens to everyone. Even very successful people.

Its kind of become an epidemic esp with the introduction of smart phones. People are just way more distracted now a days than ever before.

[Laerrus]

Mistakes happen, but you can darn well bet that woman ain't going to forget about the fourth child again.

Toddlers are from hell.

You can say that again. I have one toddler and even though I love her more than life itself, that little shit leaves me mentally drained at the end of the day.

They may do. But what should we do to ensure they don't any longer? Make it a learning experience. The harshest it is, the more effective it will be.

Placing her kids into foster homes, for one, would be a start.

Kids in foster care are something between 2-4 times more likely to be killed, abuse, raped.

Then there is no need for any justice system or child safety services. Mistakes happen all the time in our world. Just hilarious forgetting a human being is forgiven while driving drunk and not causing an accident means you deserve it.

Sources. Your ass isn't one.

Well that isn't actually true, and your blanket statement doesn't actually account for the nuances. However many times we actually don't know the circumstances of many cart accidents, or rather ALL the details of what happened leading up to it.


But, if you look online when someones mistake say texting while driving leads to to the death of someone else, yeah their "MISTAKE"doesn't go over well either, especially if they lived.


Case and point, Ryan Dunn, one of the stars of the MTV show Jackass died in a car crash, after it was confirmed he had been drinking before hand, and lets just say not A lot of people had especially online showed a lot of sympathy for him. In fact there were a lot of jokes made about Ryan Dunn and his last name as it related to the inferno that followed after his car was engulfed in flames.

[Kathandira]

Damn, I need to work on being less of a lady.

Nah! You're fine dancing the line.

[Themius]

Sources. Your ass isn't one.

I really don't care to go searching for sources for a poster I don't care enough for.

If you really want sources search for a topic about a child being taken away from her parents because the father smoked weed in a separate room and the child being beaten to death.

Your point is invalid, then.

You people are so sick. Who the fuck are ANY of you to judge anyone harshly. The internet is seriously the most toxic thing humanity has ever embraced. Its sicking that mistakes that used to be private are now broadcast to the world for an army to use its overwhelming force to pass judgement on the one. This exact thing not happening was very important to the founding fathers. They envisioned a world where the one was safe from the silly whims and uneducated drivel of the masses. The internet changed it all. In this we have found the tools of our own destruction.

You're saying this as if you're not a part of the internet.

PREACH! I very much agree with you.

Uh well speaking for myself I am a guy who wouldn't leave a kid in a shopping cart for 40mins, I am also a guy saying that if you shit out kids, without enough brain matter to have a plan for raising them, then maybe you should figure it the fuck out.

This isn't one of those unforeseen circumstances, where, she it couldn't have been avoided, It's a kid not a a smartphone, and if you can't be bothered to give a shit about that over yourself and making shitty excuses, don't then whine, cry and bitch about how much you care about them, especially when society at large might consider taking them away from you.

Personally I am more sick of kids going missing, or getting hit by cars and shit, because parents forgot they're number 1 priority when giving birth to a kid is being responsible for it.

[beedeehee]

Im here for porn and video game playthroughs, sometimes recipes, and to buy things. I dont do ANY of this mob bullshit on social media. I personally thing its the death of the interet

Either you're here for it all, or you're not here at all.

And you obviously are here.

Only read page 1, but did the "it's ok, they are white" card get played yet?

[Super Kami Dende]

It's a pretty simple mistake, being a new baby as well she has likely been pretty worn out dealing with a Toddler and a Baby.

I say it is simply an honest mistake by a normal person, The kid is fine still so there really needs to be no over-reaction.

Though being the internet and the idiots that dwell in it I can sense some people are getting severely triggered over this somehow.

You are mighty judgmental to say someone else has a brain matter issue.
