A Texas mother was taken into custody Tuesday after police alleged her 22-month-old child died when she left the infant in a car outside a Corpus Christi school on one of the hottest days of the year.
The mother, 33-year-old Hilda Ann Adame, was jailed on charges of causing serious bodily injury to a child and child endangerment/abandonment with imminent bodily injury, according to a Corpus Christi Police Department incident report.
It was not clear how long the infant had been in the car before the baby was found unresponsive, according to the incident report.
No. Whybare you even asking that? Prison would just prevent you from locking other kids in the car or other neglectful actions. They don’t let you drive in most prisons or care for small children.
You say that like most of these people are any more neglectful than you or I. Bad shit happens to good people for no good reason. Take the stress of existence, add in a change of plans during a daily event where you’d normally run on autopilot, and your fucking kid is dead. If it never happened to you that’s because you wheren’t life’s unlucky few who died, or got someone killed for a very human mistake.
There isn’t always a solution. You can’t fix every bad situation. Sometimes you have to sit there and just eat the fact that the world is garbage and there is literally, positively, absolutely nothing you, or anyone else can ever do that will fix it.
You’re a fucking dofus if you think any of these parents, outside of a few cherry-picked instances, are going to make the same mistake twice. But you don’t, because if you did you’d simply suggest having their remaining children removed from their home.
You’re advocating for this because the cave-person part of your brain told you “bad person get punish”, and instead of quelling it like a civilized individual, you thought “hey that’s the part of our brains that should make careful decisions about a complete strangers entire future.” Fuckin’ gratz.
What are your qualifications? It sounds so incredibly much like you are talking out of your ass. Have you ever dealt with this in real life before? Prior behavior predicts future behavior. If you are in a circumstance that is bad enough to allow you to doing something so incredibly stupid, your life doesn’t typically get more put together after this and the factors that allowed this to happen still persist. You remain a clear and present danger to your other children. Your fuck it the world is a mess attitude doesn’t help anything. I already said I’m not necessarily advocating for prison, but something to protect others from this stupidity is warranted. It’s a simple fact that you cant hurt another child this way or in some similarly neglectful way. That’s all I said. Trying to argue with that is silliness. I work with people that have murdered their children or children they have been caring for. Universally they regret it. They are not out to strike again, they all just lose their temper and accidently subject these children to physical forces that their bodies cannot tolerate but that would just equate to a harmless bar brawl if it were an adult. However, repeat perpetration is common if safety measures (lock them up, or reliably remove children from their presence) are not instituted. They are not out to strike again; they don’t have a vendetta against children, they just have fucked up lives and poor impulse control and the same stressors and same genetics and upbringing allow for the same results when in the same scenarios. I’ll give you a pass for the nasty name calling, but if you are actually educated in this topic and I see you give a talk at the next sbs conference, I’m going embarrass the crap out of you.
Yeah one of these things is something that can happen to a genuinely good parent due to complete happenstance, literally anyone at all given enough situational stress and dumb luck. The other are people who actively murdered their children, and where unable to stop themselves until it was too late.
If you don’t see the difference, and you’re that much of a tool you think every hammer is a nail, then maybe you need to find another line of work.
Never been to an SBS conference, but if you want to embarrass yourself there too, by all means, go the fuck ahead.
Man, just let it go. You have been schooled, just take it and learn.
