Since I last posted a blog, which was about the idiot who sat on a toilet for two years, I've seen so many stories on the news that just disturb me. For example, a 23-month-old boy died in February because the two people taking care of him refused to give him water (http://www.wfsb.com/news/15898529/detail.html). Being a parent now, this one really, REALLY bothers me. The care of a young child has been entrusted to you because the mother was severely ill, and you don't give them water because they wet the bed?? And to top it off, they laced the child's bottles with hot sauce to keep him from even attempting to drink from a bottle. ARE YOU SERIOUS?? At least the last story I blogged about had somewhat of a decent ending, but this one will stay with me for a while because I can't imagine someone doing that to Ethan. People are definitely telling the truth when they say you look at things quite differently when you become a parent. Oh, and to go even further, one of the accused killers claims they have a mental disability, which I think is total garbage. I'll let you all read the story for yourselves because the more I talk about it, the angrier it makes me.
Here's another genius move- two teens out in Ohio forced a 2-year-old toddler to smoke marijuana, then claim to have completely forgotten about it (http://www.wfsb.com/video/15905651/index.html). Thankfully they were arrested and are sitting uncomfortably in jail. In this case, not only do these morons need to be locked up, but the parents of the 2-year-old need to be as well for leaving the toddler with teens that are at the age where common sense isn't exactly their highest priority. Here's another situation that upsets me as a parent, which would explain why there's only a certain few that I would trust Ethan with if I needed a babysitter. Have caretakers absolutely lost their minds now??
Rather than sit here seething from these idiotic moves, I think I'm going to go do some reading and call it a night. Until next time...
