Never mind, I’m sorry, I’m such at a loss for words for scum like this.

RIP Sage. ☹

I don’t think they ever had a humanity card. People like that could have never been human. No human can do that to a child.

As a parent, I’m just completely bewildered when I hear things like this. How can you not totally love and treasure your own child?? It is completely beyond my grasp. And that is a good thing, mind you. I’d be worried if I could imagine it.

If you’re high on something especially potent, it may be difficult for you to love and treasure your child - especially if it’s crying and spoiling your trip (which is pure speculation on my part).

Yep, these two are pretty much a waste of water, blood and organs. May they grow a conscience and live in pure agony till the end of their days.
