I really don't like it when the media helps me corroborate a stance I posted about recently.

This is also the world of child abuse. This time - it's just a woman who gave birth to her three kids - two of which are now case files, one of which is a homicide.

19 years old, and had three kids - one of which was 3. I'll also ask you to note the timeline: report made on a prior issue to DCFS by the LAPD March 1st, after they got called prior (how much prior is not reported) Appointment made - but not done? Child drowns April 1st.

They only have time for homicides.

(reannon, is it appropriate not to mention if there were any other adults in the home?)

Seriously.

Check the pictures of the house. Don't notice all the PHOTOGRAPHERS camped out, of course.

The envy is just OUT there. I mean - if she'd won 8 million dollars, that would be one thing. There are socially acceptable ways to go wow, you got some - when it's money.

When it's children? Dude. Gloves come OFF.

*shakes head* When we restrict assistance to children, and only those people who have children - and then do not extend the same assistance (perceived value) to the same people who pay taxes and do NOT have children - what can you expect. The simple perception is that you're stealing, and the brains stop there and spin.

I wonder how much louder people would scream if she decided that some of the kids needed to be placed for adoption.

For my mind, it's not an issue for me - it's very clear there's a lot of people watching (whether they should be or not is another topic for another day) and if anything goes toes up, we'll ALL know (and sell some more advertising dollars).

Everyone I've ever known to have higher order multiples, has had volunteer support. If people are willing to do that? I'm fine with it - everyone has their own take on it, and that one is at least supportive and useful, neh?

But people taking time out of their days to do drive-by bitchslaps? *sigh* Get a better hobby, jeez. That sort of thing only darkens your soul.

(And puts book to that family's assertion that their children would be better off dead without them - and justifies their killing them, and then themselves. How DARE they have kids and not support them? FAILURE. FAILURE. BLAM.)

Find a way through. Only way out, after all.
