of reading about young children dying from abuse in NYC. And usually this is like 2 or 3 weeks AFTER Child Services pays a visit to the home and declares everything a-ok. And yet when the child dies the reports state that they had multiple bruises and injuries dating back months and the homes are usually in a completely unliveable state.
Ok so I don't like kids. Fine. Good. I decided when I was about 5 that parenthood wasn't my bag. But it breaks my heart when I see stories in the NY papers about 2 , 3 , 4 year olds who have been taken from their parents by DCS (Dept of Child Services) multiple times and yet returned anyway and then 2 weeks later they are dead. And usually it's the mother or the mother's live-in boyfriend committing such atrocities.
Who the hell are these people? Ok fine, so you're jealous that your girlfriend's kids come before you. Get over it or don't date someone with kids. But don't think that beating the crap out of them and/or killing them will win you any points. It'll win you a jail cell and it rightly should.
I got my own jealousy issues. Everyone does. But when you cross the line at hurting someone- you got a problem. I just don't understand how these people should be able to be parents. They're all younger than me, with 5 or 6 kids and multiple DCS citations. One story I read about yesterday, the woman had had her kids taken away and then returned after going to anger management. I think if you have to go to anger management - for ANY issue, you should not be in charge of raising another human being. If you don't want kids- don't have sex. If you want to have sex, use birth control. In NYC there are dozens and dozens of organizations where you can receive free pills, condoms, etc. Anything. There is no excuse.
I know that the city's civil services are overworked and underpaid. Absolutely. But can you please tell me how you can go into a home, see a child and say everything is fine and then in the next 3 weeks they state that the child is recovering from month-old broken arms, lives in a roach-ridden apartment and hasn't eaten well in 3 months? Can you please explain that to me?
It disgusts me. I know I wouldn't be a good parent. I don't have patience. But I'd be a much better parent than these losers. I'd love to hear comments.
