    It wasn't an 'accident'. He put her in the car deliberately to keep her away from him while he & partner smoked pot and watched some tv show or played video game.... it was intentional, he knew what he was doing. Did he go out and check on her? Probably not b/c he was 'busy'.......

    It's 32 months lol. The guy is acting like he got life. He did something stupid and criminal that got a baby killed. 32 months seems like a fair sentence to me. I'm sure there is plenty that believe he should be locked up longer. He should count his blessings.

    Oooh... the fauxrage.

    There is a rule here that says your title must reflect the title of the linked article.


    Welcome to Politicalforum.com.
    There is a new member meet-and-greet section.. I think.

    I agree. The homosexuality didn't cause this guy to be an idiot. Other way around? who knows.

    The only link in this story is homosexuality and drug use, based on statistical fact.
    But stupid carelessness, leading to the murder of a baby, was 100% the person... not the sexual choices.


    I just don't know why people are trippin' over the title.
    The OP did what they were supposed to do.


    (kidding, of course I know)

    Aren't you getting a tad bit melodramatic here?

    Anyway, carry on w/your rant.......

    because anything that depicts a homosexual in a negative shade is to immediately be deemed homophobic and if you don't immediately let the thread die, you are a bigot.


    And while the neglect had nothing to do with homosexuality, (as there are plenty of hetero parents who have forgotten their kids in cars to have them die)


    the key point I make is during the vetting processes of potential foster parents..... it seemed this gay couple weren't vetted very well or were given a pass. Why is that? Could it be because the state agency that vets the potential foster parents saw it was a gay couple so to dare and deny them becauswe they were potsmoking stoners couldn't be allowed because the gays would knee-jerk react and say they were denied "because they were gay" and sue.

    NO one forced him to post the thread.

    Your gay rights analogy, just one big fail, red herring, strawman, obsfucation, baloney.


    And I doubt the WHOLE WORLD views the posts in here and you can't speak for the whole world anyway...

    so your post was pretty much a waste of time..

    And it's not even 3 yrs......

    The facts have been shown and clearly explained what happens in a car when the temp is hot and how quickly the temp rises in the car to a deadly level and what happens to the little victims while they're dying.

    And this depraved cockroach and his partner didn't care b/c they had fun things they wanted to do.

    No fauxrage nor real rage, no rage at all because I'm not the gay hater.


    Again, you seem to feel the OP was FORCED to post about an incident........how does that work???

    - - - Updated - - -

    :) That's OK, the OP couldn't address any challenge here either :)

    Good question.

    There has to be a reason these guys were in charge of the lives of 5 kids.

    Just too bad the state found something about them... that trumped the pot smoking.

    Mm Hmm


    Would be smart to veer away from telling people what they feel.


    The OP isn't forced to do anything, except post the title of the story they are creating a thread about.
    No one here is forced to post the threads they post. Or the comments either.

    Is your problem that because it was a bad story about a gay person, the OP should have avoided it?
    How predictable.

    Not sure why you're forced to constantly complain about the title, instead of addressing the topic.... but you must be, because you can't seem to stop.

    I love it. Heterosexual parents kill their kids every day, either intentionally or negligently. But as soon as one gay parent kills his kids, it has to be something about being gay. OBVIOUSLY THEY HAVE NO PATERNAL INSTINCTS.

    Yup, just like the gay haters in here can't stop defending someone who enjoys posting anything anti-gay........they whine , "oh, can't help the title , it's the rules" while deliberately, or stupidly, ignoring the fact that unless the OP posts every incident of heterosexuals abusing children it's an anti-gay, Pro-Hate thread.

    But if that's what you find enjoyable nothing can stop you....have fun wallowing in stupidity and hate ....:)

    It's not really "wallowing"...... I don't read most of your posts.

    noone is forced to post any thread..... just because you don't like the association between gay and crappy parenting that the link showed is not his problem....

    noone forced you to open said thread or be offended by it...... and yet, here we are....

    so why wasn't that vetted out.


    if a hetero couple (who can't have kids) wanted to adopt or be a foster family..... things like "they smoke pot" would disqualify the hetero parent. The question I have.... did the state know the gay couple were stoners and decided to look past that because they were gay and didn't want to be sued for homophobia? Or were the stoner-homos just really good at hiding their shortcomings?


    Seeing that they forgot about a kid in a car to the point the child died.... this family doesn't strike me as the kind that were good at decieving a state worker.... so I have to believe that it was because they got a free pass BECAUSE they were gay.....


    that's not equality, because I would not get a free pass for being a stoner trying to foster a child.....

    This type of thing happens more then people realize. When both parents are workin, and you have more the one child (5 is a bunch) it is easy to do this. I've come close to it myself. and then add pot into the mix..

    just so long as gays aren't vetted the same way heteros are.... that's all they are concerned about.

    They don't perform drug testing on foster care applicants?

    Maybe they need to.

    Marijuana is known to alter time perception in those that use it.. I can't imagine being under the influence of it is conducive to responsible baby sitting. You have one job as a baby sitter/foster parent....WATCH them...not your cell phone, not your television, watch the child. Don't assume that level of responsibility if you are not willing to forgo the pot and the television shows.

    Gross negligence on his part, the sentence seems fair to me. He'll do a year and be out on good behavior.. Meanwhile the baby does not get a 2nd chance at life.

    any parent that drinks or smokes while a baby is in the car is a criminal

    that sad thing is he adopted, meaning he made the choice to be a parent for this child, he obviously was not up for the task
