And was she with anyone who knew that she had a kid? They might have asked, “Oh, who is watching your daughter while you’re here?” It amazes me that she could leave a child that young for that long. ---

I have never, ever left my kids for even 1 minute, unless under a trusted friend or teacher I am going away for a short holiday tomorrow (7 days) and my cats - who are equally able to hunt, find their food and waterbowls, and I could overfill each, are being booked in to cat hotel. Kids are with me. Cats are safe, though they will be unhappy. Looking back to how helpless my daughter was at that same age it is beyond fathonable that this woman did not a) take her fucking child along, or, b) employ a babysitter. As a dad, I totally support this sentence. As a dad, I hope the child’s dad steps up. What a shitshow. ---

Did you read the article? It’s not going to help if the child’s father steps up now, as the sixteen-month-old Cleveland child did not survive being left for ten days in a playpen. ---

Wackos gonna wack is about the only thing we can say. She’s either a psycho, a post-partum depression case, or a druggy. But I bet on door #1. Her daughter meant no more to her than the ants in her front yard did. ---

By ‘psycho’, do you mean psychotic, or psychopathic? ---

My intention was “psychopathic”. I have a severe hate for that defect and would happily slaughter them all in their millions regardless of age over and over until we culled 100% of their genes from the human pool. Forever amen. I don’t see “psychotic” as relevant to this case. But I may be blinded by my admitted issue with “psycopathic”. ---

And what if it’s not genetic? Or what if it is genetic, but it’s not one gene, but a specific combination of them, such that almost everyone has some but not all of the “psychopath genes”? What percentage of humanity would you need to slaughter, before you realized that it wasn’t working?
