Child abuse or poor judgement? Kids wanted to ride in trunk

Parents felt it would be ok. I thought it odd that the article stated the father agreed since they weren't going very far, but they were arrested 20 MILES from where the kids got in the trunk. IMO, more than a block would be too far, but then again, I would never drive would my kids in the trunk. |

Child abuse or poor judgement? Kids wanted to ride in trunk
#1. Intelligence is not a pre-requisite to being parents.
#2. Somebody has to be the parent. ****If**** the parents put the kids in the trunk especially *****in***** the Summertime - I'd call it attempted homicide. How many times have kids been baked alive because someone left them inside a vehicle. Even if the kids asked to be put in the trunk, the parents went along with it - assisted suicide? - torture? - child abuse? The child abuse charges will stick depending on the particular wording of that state's laws. And if it's discretionary to the judge, then their view of it. Kim |

Kim If *all else* is good in the child's upbringing, mom or dad being jailed or having to shell out big fines will be harder on the child than the adults. |

For this lapse, they received 150K bail, and no rights to see their 12yo son, unless SUPERVISED. Well, actually, a judge reduced their bail into the affordable range, and they were released. Even the other child's parent is stunned with the severity of charges lodged against this model couple. Vote and view video of situation on ABC news site below. And folks are unaware with the reach of CPS and its unaccountable, unsupervised bureaucracy:? http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/U..._in_trunk.html Hmmm... my father killed my dog by letting the dog ride in the trunk of his car. He (the dog) smothered to death on my 19th birthday. It was a terrible experience for all involved, and Dad felt awful. Though I love my father, I've never fogotten the stupidity on his part that allowed my dog to die. Now, if a trunk could kill a 75-pound dog due to lack of oxygen (or was it CO poisoning? We always assumed the former), I'm sure it could do the same to two boys whose combined weight was more than double - perhaps as much as triple that of my dog. That combined with it being summer, and not much ventilation to prevent the trunk from turning into an oven, and zero protection to the occupants in the event of any sort of car accident (rear-ended would be catastrophic, but any sort of accident at all could be serious), this isn't merely "stupid" but unbelievably so. Now, you seem to feel that merely being stupid isn't a good reason to take kids away from their parents, and in general, I agree, but is there ever a point at which someone's behavior becomes SO stupid, that leaving the children with the parent is a worse option? I think there is. Cathy Weeks Mommy to Kivi Alexis 12/01 Cathy, you are surely in for it now. Never underestimate the tenacity of the terminally stupid. The only thing that shuts them up is when it happens to them. As long as other people are the ones that get hurt from the risks these twits insist is nothing at all to worry about they are happy to sit their in there full Depends smiling at the world and babbling inanely. So we have to patiently wait until Mother Nature, or the Universe, checks them out of the genepool. Sadly they do procreate in the short time they usually survive. I estimate about another 500,000 years and the stock will be improved, but then there's the innocent bystanders, isn't there? Maybe we shouldn't be so patient and organize some kind of system of control....oh wait, that's their gripe here isn't it.......we have and they don't like it. r r r r Best wishes Cathy, Kane |
