Mother gets 30-day sentence for waterboarding baby, putting him in freezer, authorities say
And another mother got two years for giving her daughter abortion pills.
Don’t EVER let them tell you it’s to protect the children.
What are you driving at?
Who is the "them" in this scenario?
Under what circumstances was the mother protecting children or advocating protecting children?
her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f--k at all,”
Because she obviously doesn't...
Authorities said while the officer was taking McDonald to jail, she said that her actions were done as a test to see if the child’s father “gave a f--k at all,” adding she waterboarded her baby to try and make Neal come back to the apartment.
So she decided to extend the toxic relationship she has with her child's father to their child. WTAF?! What an absolute piece of shit person.
I read the article hoping to see that she had lost all rights to the child. But nothing about that was mentioned. So she probably hasn't lost any parental rights.
She's not going to lose all rights that fast. My wife's mom left her alone for days as a toddler drinking toilet water and allowed her to be abused by her johns (no idea if she sold her or was just too fucking high to put a stop to it) and it took years for her to lose all rights. Parents are given a lot of chances to get their shit together even when anyone else would look at them and know that wasn't ever going to happen.
That's why when I hear stories about people getting their kids taken away for playing alone in the back yard or walking up the street, I suspect there's a lot more to those stories. That's a huge amount of effort and they aren't going to do that shit over something so minor. But of course the government is going to be all no comment about those things so we only ever hear the side saying how ridiculous it is. That's right - it's ridiculous. So why would you believe it went down that way?
I dunno. Kids get such a fucking raw deal. They have no choice who they're born to and even lots of well intentioned parents fuck it up, to say nothing of people like this crazy fucking bitch in the article.
30 days seems too short.
Must be a typo, surely it's years?
I honestly hate stories like this. What is the use of knowing this? Who does it benefit to hear this story and proliferate it?
So we can all go "wow what a monster" in the comments?
How many things happened today that actually will affect our lives instead?
I think it's a cautionary tale against forcing women to have kids.
We need access to birth control, healthcare (including abortion), sex education, and quality education.
These horrible things cannot be hidden, just like war images shouldn't be hidden. This is reality and we can't turn a blind eye. We have to address real shit that happens in the real world to learn from it and get better. Or at least face the reality of the things we force people into.
"If it bleeds, it leads"
This will continue happening if the jail sentence is only 30 days...
Jail sentences were never detracting anyone from crimes. Crimes are either planned so the criminal does not think they will be caught or done out of emotion so the criminal does not think about possible punishment
The severity of the punishment is not an effective deterrent. This has been known since a UN study from the 1980s, yet people still cling to the belief that a long prison sentence or the death penalty is a good deterrent.
So long as the punishment is significant enough that it cannot be dismissed (eg a small fine is meaningless to someone wealthy), then the only effective deterrent is the certainty of being caught.
If she's in jail she can't waterboard her kid and put it in the freezer again... Do you motherfuckers even think about what you're saying before you spout off with these tired arguments?
The jail sentence has nothing to do with this happening.
This will keep happening while people are forced to bear kids they don't want in financial situations, where nothing can be afforded and everything is shit.
The mother was torturing her child because she needed to vent and her kid seemed like the root of all her problems, not because there were only 30 days of jail sentence.
And with poor access to mental health support.
She said she actually did it to spite the father...
Do you have evidence this woman was forced to bear this child? I didn't read that in the article. And since you provided your opinion of why the mother did this to the child, I know for a fact you didn't read the article.
Oh, I didn't realize that poor financial situations excuse people from waterboarding babies
Holy shit please tell me you don't have kids.
Wait! You can see the evil in her eyes?
Where did you learn to do that?
I dont mean to be shitty. This woman has been found guilty of something absolutely heinous and deplorable, and she could easily be described as evil knowing that.
But you are saying that if you saw that picture out of context, that you could see evil in her eyes?
What if the headline was, woman falls in lake trying to film ducks. Would you be able to see the stupid in her eyes? Or would her fave still look evil?
I've seen streamers that play a game where you are given multiple mug shots, and you have to identify the criminal vs. the non criminal, and it's amazing how often they/everyone in chat gets it wrong.
Sorry to paragraph vomit on you here, but i just hate when i see people say this in these situations. It's just not true and a silly thing to say.
Downvote me if you want. I dont care. I just needed to vent.
Sorry.
Edit: agreed, making abortion illegal was absolutely bonkers.
I think seeing the evil in someone's eyes can be more attributed to knowing they've done something evil like this. The original commenter may not have been saying it literally, more-so after they find out the actions the person has taken. Not everything is so literal. Idk though, I'm not OP.
I agree with you, it's impossible and stupid to say you can see evil in her eyes.
What you can see it's she being retarded, with severe mental health issues that were never addressed because yeah American health care industry.
And also because her name, sharday!? Her mom was probably illiterate and homeschooled her.
Just some theories.
This is in Oregon where abortion is perfectly legal.
Oh damn
Yeah, but is it legal after the 63rd trimester?
Gods. I hope that child gets a better family.
Fortunately, being an infant, it still has a pretty good chance of that.
True. Poor kid will probably also have a life-long fear of drowning though, and won’t know why.
WOW, it really sucks that the government is just going to let her murder her child. That's what's going to happen. Kid will definitely be dead within the year because of gross negligence by the criminal justice system.
Ever wake up and see something that makes you hate humanity before you’ve even gotten out of bed? Yeah, that was this for me.
Damn near every day.
That's no mother
They mean they're going to stick her in a freezer for 30 days, right? Right?!
Hopefully it's 30 full days of water boarding. Literally non-stop for 720 hours.
I hate this planet.
I don't know, seems there's a will to diminish the gravity of an act with such sentences. lot of crime against children are not punished as it should.
Imagine being this terrible a person.
And they are always the ones on Facebook talking about what great parents they are.
People like that need to be taken out on the spot. No prison. Just look at that face. Remorseless. End that creature before it does more harm.
Little bit of baby torture. No harm done.
Ah fuck me man, I absolutely hate reading stuff like that, it ruins my day
I'm a dad and I just wanted to sleep. Thanks...
F**k’s sake, what is happening to people?
We built a system that rewards sociopaths and then made it mandatory to participate
Nothing. Fucked up shit has always been happening, it's just that you have more opportunity to hear about it now.
Jesus Christ wtf, who would do that to their own kid?
Mom can we have Abu Ghraib?
We have Abu Ghraib at home.
The Abu Ghraib at home.
Yeah but baby was coming right for her
Maybe show one example of anyone "excusing" this?
She looks every bit as demonic as she acted.
Jesus fuck.
Wtf is wrong with you?
Any dad who did the same crime would have gotten a way, way worse punishment.
The phrasing of this could be interpreted to sound like your problem isn't that the woman's punishment was too lenient, just that a theoretical guy would have experienced an actual consequence.
Well you see a couple hundred years ago her ancestors were treated poorly so that's why she done this. No other reason at all.
30 days??
Yeah, reading the article, I expected it to say that it was only 30 days, because they realized, she has psychological problems. Punishment doesn't usually help with that. But I also expected this article to say that the baby will be taken into custody by the state until therapy concedes. And there's just no mention of any of that.
A shit reason. She needa to be thrown in an insane asylum for 30 years. See if that helps her psychologucal problem.
Maybe the judge mistakingly put days instead of years
