Her extreme stupidity is what caused her daughter to lose her arm. Intended to or not has nothing to do with emotions. She obviously isn't fit to raise childern and have them live to adulthood. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />ok, let's turn the thing around. <br />Let's supose you were born stupid, and then you have a child (because you are stupid to understand that you are too stupid to take care of a child) , and because of your stupidity the child gets hurt, <br />and then tons of people start hating you for it, how would you feel? <br /> <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />That's known as "Darwinism." Let me turn the question back around to you. According to the story the woman has two other children. Should we give them all back to her and see if she can maim and/or kill them too? Would you just stand there and watch her do something so stupid that this would happen? If she crawled under a truck stopped at a traffic light, it would be just as stupid, with the same possible results. <br /> <br />I don't know how things are in your country, but here we tend to try to protect childern from such actions by adults. We have a thing in our laws called "reckless endangerment of a minor" which is pretty much what this was. Maybe the children in your country are just throw-away, but here, we have a tendency to care about them. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> <br />yea, we are a special breed of humans that hate their own children <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Your replies certainly imply that you don't care, just put them back under proven dangerous supervision. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Well, then you must have been reading between the lines. <br /> <br />Locking someone up or removing his child, and being angry at him and hate him are not the same things. <br />One thing is doing something for someones protection, and another thing is doing the same thing out of revenge. The first can be a noble thing, the second is selfcentered. <br /> <br />What I'm against is the attitude, not the actions. <br /> <br />Justice system should be based on protection of free citizens, not on revenge. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />You seem to be reading between MY lines. I'm for the idea of removing the children from her custody because she's proven she's incapable of making decisions to do the things to keep them safe. Her only concern was a "shortcut" which endangered all 3 of her children. She should get jail time for this "reckless endangerment." <br /> <br />At no time did I mention "death penalty" or "revenge." <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I didn't say you mentioned death penalty. <br />But some people have in this forum, and one that is not even a part of the legal system, like throwing of the train. <br />That is the kind of revengefull emotional reactions I was reacting to in this post. <br /> <br />My point was when I started to discuss this was that anger does not help this situation. Thinking how to puni***he woman will not help the child OR the woman. But thinking rationally how to arrange this situation, wheather to put the child in safer hands or perhapse have a closer examination of the mother by a psychologist or whatever, is much more usefull. <br /> <br />The most impulsive reaction is to bark when you feel like barking, but it only works if you are on a level of a dog, humans need more complex solutions than barking and biting. <br /> <br /> <br />
