    I don’t know what happens in minds of parents who leave their children alone in cars for more than 10 minutes. And I don’t want to know what they feel after children die in hot cars.
    What I want to know is why the court decided that 32 months are enough.

    Horrible but what does pointing out he is gay have to do with anything?

    Clearly not intentional, but court would likely consider a drug use problem to overcome as well as genuine sorrow, etc, for what happened.

    Nothing.

    Usually, the kid being left in the car is due to either miscommunication between parents or is at least partially due to fatigue. The courts often take this into consideration, it is viewed as a tragic accident and the sentencing is light. In this case, two dumb sh/ts smoking dope while their kid roasts, I agree that 32 months just does not cover it.

    Pretty sad stuff, some of these gays are adopting kids just to try and spite conservatives and then when they realize how much work it is, they try to bail in some form or another.

    No idea, but that was not me, that was the article.
    Continuing the idea, what is the use of pointing out the race of a criminal? Obviously, for the purpose of implying certain correlation between the incident and the fact that was pointed out.
    So, ask the writers, why they point out certain facts...

    parents that leave their kids in cars, leave their kids around loaded guns, ect... should get time if their actions cause a death of a child, sure they feel bad afterwards, but they will have to think about that in prison imo

    He "begs for freedom." What is he a narcissist?

    You would think that a father that loves his child would take any punishment he gets.

    As far as the "gay" thing - I thought progressives identified people as gay, black, latino, Muslim, Christian etc.... Since this is a negative story I suppose all these "sub cultures" go out the window?

    a gay pot smoker..... who screwed up big time. This is the left's worst nightmare from a PR standpoint.


    Love how quickly the gays try to distance themselves from this POS. MOD EDIT - Off Topic

    Yes, because no heterosexual has EVER left a kid in the car and the kid die right? Gimme a break.

    The fact this foster father was gay was NOT the reason why this kid was left in the car. The reason is he was a piece of (*)(*)(*)(*) father and this has happened to heterosexual parents as well.

    Why wouldn't gays distance themselves from him? Being gay doesn't mean you are a perfect parent, nor does being gay mean people don't make idiotic mistakes. His being gay had nothing to do with this tragedy.

    Also, the sentence is way to light. Hate seeing parents get off with light sentences (or even no sentence) for neglect that results in the death of a child in this manner.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Nope. Because just like this person being gay, it has nothing to do with the tragedy.

    What if they hadn't been smoking dope and watching tv?. What if they'd been working hard, were tired and just fell asleep for a couple hours? I defy any one of you to tell me you've never unexpectedly fallen asleep when doing household chores and you sit down, "just for a minute"

    They had 5 other kids inside. They SHOULD have bought the toddler inside first, that is the standard protocol, but again, do all of you always follow protocol?

    What might be helpful here would be to equip all child seats with this:

    it's so rare you have to point it out, if it was a white Christian it would never of been mentioned as that is the norm for these kinda things

    Because you dont seem to believe peoples mental and moral makeup effects their decision making. When 6% of our pop. is responsible for 51% of the murder in a country I believe these are the kind of issues that ARE relevant.

    So you think the person being gay is what caused this? If that is so, how do you explain almost all the child toddler deaths in cars are by heterosexuals?

    I don't think pot was the issue - neglect absolutely is the issue.

    The guy could have got a babysitter - what makes this case so (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up beyond the fact his neglect killed his kid is the idea that he found pot more important than his kid.

    Pot's not even an addictive drug, yet had he was buying an addictive drug I would think a parents love should outweigh an addiction...

    What's so disturbing to me is he neglected his child for selfish reasons - to smoke pot.

    I'm not a present pot smoker but I'm sure most here have at least tried it and I'm sure there are a few that are regular users and that makes this case so (*)(*)(*)(*)ing evil and strange.

    His negligence and disregard for his own child is going to earn him a hefty prison sentence.

    Not much we can do about bad heterosexuals parents giving birth to their own children. How many hetero foster parents have done the same? I thought foster parents are screened? Giving them to potheads is idiotic, surely they had to have lied to gain access to these kids. Which begs the question, why lie?

    Until people put the PC agenda tool away and address the similarities in certain crime then they will continue to happen. The facts are generally ignored. A good example is that 90% of the school mass shooters were on some sort of big pharma medication and had nothing to do with people who constitutionally exercise their constitutional rights. To me that isnt a trivial coincidence.

    Of course people lie. And are you kidding about the foster parents thing? There was a 20/20 story done on Foster Parenting that parents were frauding the system and taking the money. Heterosexuals at that.

    Again, this situation had NOTHING to do with the fact he was gay nor is being gay someone make someone an automatically good parent by that alone. There are good homosexual parents and there are bad homosexual parents. The same with heterosexuals.

    Please show me where the majority of child left in the car deaths are due to homosexuals. This isn't about being PC, this is about stating the obvious that being gay had nothing to do with this tragedy.

    Watching TV for a few hours and just fall asleep while your kid is in the car?

    Sorry but that is absolutely irresponsible ..... Maybe the guy could have just brought the kid in the house and told him to play outside or in another room if he wanted to smoke a joint or bowl or whatever? sure that would be absolutely irresponsible in its own right, but the kid wouldn't be dead.

    Furthermore, I've smoked pot (I used to smoke a lot) - how does one just "forget my kid is in the car." Pot doesn't destroy your primal instincts (as in worrying about your children).

    There is nothing wrong with smoking pot - but on your own time and when your responsibilities have been taken care of.

    I think this is a divide by zero moment, because I actually agree with you here fully.

    Now excuse me while I go take a shower because now I feel dirty. :smile:

    Thank you, great post.

    But hate mongers avoid facts and truth as much as possible....
