Usually the ones who would benefit from the cautionary tale possibly involved in this case most likely have parents who either won’t bother to share the danger or who will keep it from them to protect them from the bad things in life. Over and over you see people who say you shouldn’t discuss what led to a death because “now is a time to grieve, not point fingers.” It looks like it would show love for children to warn them, but others disagree.

I don’t know that they were but if they WERE being assisted by public funding, that means all tax payers chipped in to see that they didn’t suffer undue want so they could dedicate their time to preserving the lives they brought into this world.

If it turned out that they used that help to let them party and ignore the needs of the children, some taxpayers might resent being cheated and even made to be part of the killing.

I don’t know a thing about the particulars of this case but have heard many comment over the years about the source of much current senseless crime being people who’ve never taken responsibility for their own actions, never had to take responsibility, and who raised the next generation to not even consider taking responsibility. Meanwhile, the taxpayers are told to work harder to shoulder the burden so the assisted don’t have to do so.

It probably doesn’t apply in this case, but if it did, surely you could see where folks would feel ripped off by the situation.

It is N0T the grandparents or their parents to take care or tend to the children.. It is the mother and the father only!! I understand that every now and then to let a relative or someone to babysit and spend some time with the babies… But it is not their job to constantly watch over them.. The parents made the mistake to have the kids.. So it’s their job to tend and take care of them at ALL times!!!!! NOO excuses! If the sooo called parents aren’t able to do it then they can put them up for an adoption to someone who willl !

The other things to consider is this: These girls are 18 years old – babies themselves, and barely out of high school.

Where were the grandmothers, other relatives, and fathers of these children? If someone knew that these kids were unattended, what prevented them from taking these kids into their homes?

In other words, the ENTIRE COMMUNITY (close relatives and others) is responsible for failing to act on behalf of these children.

I pray that this will be a lesson for all young girls with children, who decide later that they want to continuing being children. Give these children to people who will care for them, and most importantly protect them from harm.

Hopefully, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, and primarily these absent fathers will step up to the plate and be a blessing rather than pointing the finger. All children deserve to protect by bystanders, regardless of race, gender, or socioeconomics status.

Now, we will never know what these three precious children would have been because no one stepped up to the plate and protected them.
