This mom is so lucky a good Samaritan helped her 10yr. old.... this child could have run into a predator. Now this is different. I could see MAYBE kicking them out in a safe area and maybe driving around the block to make a point. But not no damn hour. Mom is in jail for a good reason... cops waited til she went to the jail to pick up her baby... then arrested her. Now her friends are all... "But she's a lawyer... living in a wonderful home, and we think its just an honest mistake.." BS!! Let a single mom who's not rich do this crap and there wouldn't be this much sympathy for her "situation". | |

Do you have kids? all my friends have kids and i've raised plenty nieces, nephews and cousins. i've also been part of the big sister program. plus ive been a kid. one thing ive learned is that kids often act up because they want attention. I've also learned that not everyone is cut out to be a parent AND it aint easy trying to work and be a parent. Maybe this woman should cut back her hours. She's an attorney (banruptcy I believe) and that's the kind of job where you can either have too many clientele or not enough. Its also the kind of job that if you have your own practice, you can set your own hours. They reported that she's married, so she could have her hubby alleviate some of the financial burden. she lives in a lavish neighborhood and home so money is not that tight. If her kids are fighting like that, they could also be spoiled which emphasizes my point that she is lacking in the discipline department. I'm just saying there is nothing any kid that I'm responsible for could ever do to make me kick them out a car and drive off and leave them. Unthinkable to me. I hope she learns from this and I hope her kids don't think that she will do this to them again. | |

FunkMistress said: FunkMistress said: Do you have kids? I ask this question not because I don't think childless people are unqualified to speak on this, but because I wonder whether... 1. ...you are in a position of having to financially provide for a child or children. Sometimes "spend less time at work" is not an option. It's that or have no job. 2. ...you have a secret Love And Discipline Potion that magically prevents your children from ever acting out, ever. well in her case #1 does not seem to apply as for #2, there is no secret potion that will keep kids from EVER acting out. Acting out is part of being a kid and people need to learn that before they go bringing kids into the world. Kids can be right bad sometimes, many times and as adults we have to recognize the outbursts and effective deal with them. Kicking kids out the car and leaving them to where they could be injured or abducted is not an option. | |

No excuses whatsoever. They should have kept her locked up.. Abandoning your children no matter what stresses were/are in her life is not acceptable. What if someone came along and murdered them when she dropped them on the roadside? Shame on her. [Edited 4/24/09 10:54am] | |
