I'll just say that I apparently have a VERY different view of our social & economic system than you all appear to have. (And no, I'm not one of the hated 1% you refer to, but I did grow up dirt poor and managed to reach adulthood without feeling beat down by 'the man.')<br /><br />And Nancer - yes, she had a choice not to drink. I DO understand alcoholism, only too well. I had someone close die of ruptured esophogeal varices, and it was an ugly, bloody death. Please don't tell me I don't understand. But even alcoholics have a choice. It's a hard road, but they can choose to get help for their addiction.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868505144649031765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-39973520913308990502009-12-22T02:12:12.227-08:002009-12-22T02:12:12.227-08:00@Eve, I agree. It's a major problem that gets ...@Eve, I agree. It's a major problem that gets ignored when the media only focuses on the individual cases, and we all tut, roll our eyes and feel superior.<br /><br />It's not a US-specific problem though. Here in the UK we have kids with no guidance and self-respect having kids to which they themselves offer no guidance and self respect, having kids to which they... you see my point.<br /> <br />That said, there comes a point where common sense must come into it. You can blame a bad background, lack of education etc, but when you're endangering your child or the children of others I think you need a mixture of help AND proper punishment.<br /><br />Right now in the UK it seems that the laws are firmly on the side of the accused everytime. The result is a nanny state that makes the kind of people I mention above feel infallible. Self respect is one thing but respecting others is just as impportant. It seems empathy is a dying trait over here.<br /><br />Sorry, I don't know where that came from. I tend to waffle when I feel self-righteous! haha.LauPowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910957590753315291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-72024969366652774062009-12-21T20:34:34.686-08:002009-12-21T20:34:34.686-08:00Glad I have some soul mates in here. :)
And Babs...Glad I have some soul mates in here. :)<br /><br />And Babs, I'm not saying this woman didn't do something horrible (which unfortunately I've seen a lot of parents do and which never stops being horrible, scary and sad). What I am saying is that if you look out there at what this country has become you will find a million Reannas and one of the main reasons that there are a million Reannas (and worse) is because of the way the 1% have engineered it so that the other 99% get tossed down the drain, with no education, no prospects, no idea how far from healthy they are and little hope. No one is looking out for the Reannas of the world, which is why they grow up ignorant and without a moral compass. I don't know this lady personally; I'm speaking in general terms. You don't see the sheer volume of these kinds of horror stories (that we all like to cluck our tongues at when they're held up in a solitary glare) in countries where income inequality isn't as steep and outrageous as it is here. You also don't see as many prisons. That said, I think the law is a good thing, but I wish intervention and support--both in terms of alcohol abuse and parenting--were done a lot quicker.Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07810807763755685943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-1017401860047031082009-12-21T20:18:16.018-08:002009-12-21T20:18:16.018-08:00My mother did it all the time and because she was ...My mother did it all the time and because she was known to them, the cops always made her go home and looked the other way.

Nobody forced her - not the 1% of the economy who you believe are the cause of all of our ills. <br /><br />This is not a perfect world, but we must place the blame where it is due. This woman needs to be held responsible for her actions.
