I'm not throwing stones until that happens. I'm more concerned with what the other kids are going through. Loss of the baby, loss of their home and mom.... State taking them in and out of their mom's custody. Makes me wonder if the children have a chance in life. She has been arrested, but not had a trial yet. I’m not throwing stones until that happens.

They may see things like this many times over but you must know it never get easier to deal with.

Mandatory birth control, I know that hits people on a religious grounds, but that is the reason there is a separation of church and state in government actions. Society has to make decisions for people that are either not responsible or too lazy to make then for their own. Where is the father of these kids in this story? If the house was that bad, he should be up on charges as well…if this was a single parent, stop having kids on the state dime…statement goes back to the second sentence. This is just another issue in the moral decay of today’s society; that lack of caring, supervision and personal responsibility on the part of the parent.

But DHR is too busy going on false allegations that's clearly a state of a deadbeat dead just looking foe anything to take her children away so his sorry tail don't have to pay child support. The bloods on the states hands for handing that baby to a worthless momma that will get out in 10 to 15 years. Or pull the mental card and get out in 5 I hope they sleep well at night.

I know he will never be able to forget, but find comfort in knowing he did all he could. The child could have walked in front or behind a car or anything. The other point is about the states roll in this. The system needs changes. A LOT of the social workers time is being wasted investigating false alarms. Good parent are turned in all the time because a family member, or neighbor gets mad at them. It wastes their time and bogs down the system. There was a case where a family was turned in, investigated, and cleared of all charges, with an apology for wasting for wasting their time. The children were traumatized because the dope head neighbor got high and turned them in. It was anonymous so nothing can be done to them. People who turn in anonymous reports are usually lying. People who really care about children will stand up and give their name without fear. If you are going to be an advocate for a child you can't be a coward and fear for own reputation more than the childs safety. By the way the family mentioned before have to bring their kids inside at certain times because they can smell the neighbor smoking mariguana. I feel so sorry for the man that found the child.

The State in part let this kid down and so did the person (can't say mom moms take care of kids) who was in charge of child. Where is the other parent? Where is the "moms" family and why couldn't they help and/or see what was going on? I too am just venting. and no my house isn't perfectly clean.
