30 days??
her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f–k at all,”
Because she obviously doesn’t…
She was taking the biblical approach. The next step was probably to cut the kid in half.
30 days seems too short.
Must be a typo, surely it’s years?
Authorities said while the officer was taking McDonald to jail, she said that her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f–k at all,” adding she waterboarded her baby to try and make Neal come back to the apartment.
So she decided to extend the toxic relationship she has with her child’s father to their child. WTAF?! What an absolute piece of shit person.
I read the article hoping to see that she had lost all rights to the child. But nothing about that was mentioned. So she probably hasn’t lost any parental rights.
She’s not going to lose all rights that fast. My wife’s mom left her alone for days as a toddler drinking toilet water and allowed her to be abused by her johns (no idea if she sold her or was just too fucking high to put a stop to it) and it took years for her to lose all rights. Parents are given a lot of chances to get their shit together even when anyone else would look at them and know that wasn’t ever going to happen.
That’s why when I hear stories about people getting their kids taken away for playing alone in the back yard or walking up the street, I suspect there’s a lot more to those stories. That’s a huge amount of effort and they aren’t going to do that shit over something so minor. But of course the government is going to be all no comment about those things so we only ever hear the side saying how ridiculous it is. That’s right - it’s ridiculous. So why would you believe it went down that way?
I dunno. Kids get such a fucking raw deal. They have no choice who they’re born to and even lots of well intentioned parents fuck it up, to say nothing of people like this crazy fucking bitch in the article.
That’s a great point. It does usually take a long time, doesn’t it. Hopefully the media attention will fast-track things in this case. But it probably won’t.
Why we need to not make abortion illegal. Wow. I can just see the evil in this hag’s eyes. I can hear exactly how this woman talks and acts. Fkn trash.
Wait! You can see the evil in her eyes?
Where did you learn to do that?
I dont mean to be shitty. This woman has been found guilty of something absolutely heinous and deplorable, and she could easily be described as evil knowing that.
But you are saying that if you saw that picture out of context, that you could see evil in her eyes?
What if the headline was, woman falls in lake trying to film ducks. Would you be able to see the stupid in her eyes? Or would her fave still look evil?
I’ve seen streamers that play a game where you are given multiple mug shots, and you have to identify the criminal vs. the non criminal, and it’s amazing how often they/everyone in chat gets it wrong.
Sorry to paragraph vomit on you here, but i just hate when i see people say this in these situations. It’s just not true and a silly thing to say.
Downvote me if you want. I dont care. I just needed to vent.
Sorry.
Edit: agreed, making abortion illegal was absolutely bonkers.
I think seeing the evil in someone’s eyes can be more attributed to knowing they’ve done something evil like this. The original commenter may not have been saying it literally, more-so after they find out the actions the person has taken. Not everything is so literal. Idk though, I’m not OP.
Gods. I hope that child gets a better family.
Fortunately, being an infant, it still has a pretty good chance of that.
True. Poor kid will probably also have a life-long fear of drowning though, and won’t know why.
That’s awful…I’m going to go hug my 1 year old now
Why, is he very cold? Is that why you’re hugging him? Is it?
Don’t let the downvotes bother you, man. I thought your joke was good. Lemmy is becoming reddit too much to my taste as of lately.
I mean it wasn’t even funny…where was the joke?
The joke was in the reference to the bad news. I acknowledge that the timing was poor, though.
So you think it’s a joke and a good one at that to tell someone upset at this story who wants to love on their own child? That’s so fucked up.
I don’t know, man. I’ve lost friends to ALS. And I almost got injured very badly once. I still enjoy dark humor jokes.
If I die because I fell off a bridge by accident, I want people to joke about it. Life is too short.
Sure, but that’s not everyone.
I can see that now.
I hate this planet.
Imagine being this terrible a person.
And they are always the ones on Facebook talking about what great parents they are.
Little bit of baby torture. No harm done.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Ever wake up and see something that makes you hate humanity before you’ve even gotten out of bed? Yeah, that was this for me.
She looks every bit as demonic as she acted.
Ah fuck me man, I absolutely hate reading stuff like that, it ruins my day
Yeah but baby was coming right for her
People like that need to be taken out on the spot. No prison. Just look at that face. Remorseless. End that creature before it does more harm.
