I got to tell this story


Officer gets called to a gas station at 3 in the morning. He gets there and clerk has a 3 year old boy that had walked in the store. Baby doesn't know where momma is or nothing. Officer asks the liitle boy where he lived. He couldn't tell him. So the officer asks him to show him. He walks with the little boy for about 5 blocks and comes up to this house in a cove. Door is wide open. In the house, the officer finds more kids asleep, including a 3 month old baby. One of the rooms is locked with duct tape around the edges and towels underneath. Break the door, and there is a physically and mentally handicapped kid in the room. They had the room sealed so they wouldnt smell the human feces that was everywhere. He was in there by himself and and it all over him.

No parents around. Children were removed from he house. Mother never reported her kids missing because she was at a crack house getting high. She finally showed up and was arrested

This is the kind of crap I see. People wonder why I have a skewed vision of our society

Truly sad story. Always worse when children are involved and treated like animals or pets.

Now I agree with you on that. But again, he proposed to her after the fact, and she accepted. Obviously, he was man enough for her, so what is the issue?

I don't think him proposing to her and her accepting his proposal has anything to do with him being a man. I think the issue is he wasn't man enough when it counted.

I dont wonder why you have that view. I see examples of it everyday in real life.

He was enough of a man for her to procreate with and accept his proposal, so that is all that really matters. Your opinion of his manhood doesnt really mean anything at this point.

Heck, if anything, he redeems himself by proposing. Up to that point, it obviously hadnt been an issue for the woman for at least 4 years.

True. That said, you do have to wonder about someone who would drive away, leaving the people he was with unaccounted for.

Why do you have a kids under 10 out for a movie starting at midnight? And then you leave them at the theater while you flee to safety. And the mom still wants to marry him? I couldn't imagine facing my wife after doing something so cowardly and stupid.

Really? I'm pretty sure people who know me would agree on the moron description, but for different reasons. You, on the other hand, continually talk out of your seat...but come to York Pa, we'll have a beer, compare p**ck sizes and then you can make an informed decision.
