yet another reason i think people need licences to have kids -kid tries to sell toy for food

here ya go … I don’t have words MSN

Here’s another one.

you know I was going to put this in the pit so I could really say what I think of things like this but didn’t …

You can still call non-posters all kinds of names and curse up a storm outside the Pit.

Like this quote from one of my favorite Philosophers.

-Jay

You could ask a mod to move it.

Do you really think someone here is going to say: “hmmmn. Sounds bad, but I’m sure those parents had their reasons?”. This is RO, recreational outrage.

What’s wrong with RO?

i think it just usually goes in the Pit.

Meh. Like I pointed out, nightshadea can ask a mod to move it.

Obviously parenthood hasn’t transformed those parents lives in a good way.

But the hill to die on is that they were transformed, right? See? See?

In this day and age when so many our nation’s children are raised on socialist nonsense like public schools and Christmas, I salute these parents who gave their child the only thing he really needs: the gift of self-reliance. And as we can see, it worked out just fine; the little lad instinctively adopted the principles of free market capitalism. If that nanny-state civil servant hadn’t interfered, that boy would probably have made his first million by now.

you know I think that was satire but ive seen people argue that the state should just stay out of it … things will work out for thyem selves ect …

sad thing is ive seen arguments where the parents beat the kid half to death for something trivial "why did they take the kids away more kids need discipline like that " ect

You should have seen them *before *they had kids.

This happened in my town; it was just sickening.

One from my neck of the woods. The 911 tape is just sickening. When the operator asks how old the boy looks, the caller says “About ten.” When Jackson says “I’m 19” the caller just loses it, saying “He says he’s 19. Omigod!”

FYI - YOU can become a foster parent and help to temporarily house kids like these. Sometimes the state will have to remove kids in an emergency like this, but have nowhere to house them.

ANYBODY is better than the parents these kids had! You can be a single person, etc. and do a MUCH better job than they did.

Search google.com for foster parent along with the name of your state.
