Baby Left on Roof of Car While High Mother Drives 12 Miles

[Andara Bledin]

I'm sorry but the pot heads should not have their kids if they can't stop smoking pot for fuck's sake. Smoking pot and caring for a baby do NOT MIX. If pot is so freakin' important then give up the kids and go smoke your brains out.

My dad was a master machinist and my mother a tax professional, my uncle a cableman, and my mother and aunt ran a business together that's still going, and they're in their 60s.

Aside from during the time she was pregnant, my mother has smoked both pot and cigarettes since she was in her teens.

well they are the rare ones and that's awesome. But, every single pothead I've known has been a useless lump who gets nothing accomplished in life. And that includes my bf. All he does is watch tv on the couch. And smoke some more and stink up my house.

[Andara Bledin]

Yeah, but you're conflating causation with correlation. They're not useless because they're potheads; it's just that lazy useless people like that tend to drift towards becoming potheads. Pot doesn't cause laziness in the same way games don't cause violence, and ice cream doesn't cause murder.

"It was a rainy tuesday when I shot him. The bullet painted most of the wall with his head. I stared down at the rapidly cooling body, only thinking one thing.

Fucker shouldn't have touched my rocky road."

To get back on subject..was there any charges filed? I forget..I sure hope so.

From what I read, she's out of jail on a "conditional release." She's subject to drug and alcohol testing, cannot drive with anyone under the age of 18 in the vehicle, and doesn't get visitations with her child.

It doesn't say how long these are in effect and whether or not they are applied towards staying out of jail or getting custody of her child restored.

My final thought is that it's actually not in the child's best interests to be kept from his mother; he's only 2 months old and he needs to be breast-fed to be given the best opportunity to grow up healthy, and unless foster care is going to wet-nurse him, he should be given supervised care by his mother, not separated entirely.

considering nothing in the article states she was breastfeeding, and considering it's not the norm, especially as THC DECREASES milk production by inhibiting prolactin(the hormone responsible for lactation), and suspected by a direct action on the mammary glands.

[Andara Bledin]

That's a partial sentence, there, but I'll assume that you're pointing out that my comment about her breastfeeding is an assumption on my part.

I can say that breastfeeding at that age is the norm, but not as much as it should be.

I smoke. I enjoy it. I'm also a college student with a 3.97 GPA. Causation =/= correlation. And we are not as rare as you assume. Most of my friends smoke too. They all have decent jobs, pay their bills and have normal lives. But I don't assume everyone who smokes is a productive member of society either. Generalization is bad.

[Seifer]

I have no words to justly describe the disappointment and disgust I have towards the mother. All I can do is pray she learns her lesson, gets clean and sober, and has custody of her child restored by Child Protective Services.

Yeaaaah, no. If a parent does something so unbelievably stupid that it puts a child in mortal danger, they don't have the right to raise that child anymore. The baby could have been run over by a car or killed by the impact when it fell off the roof of the car. Just because the child survived doesn't mean mommy should get a second chance.

I know I'm a terrible person with a window seat on the short bus to Hell, but my first thought when I read the thread title was "Anne Romney?".

Yeah, the first thought of the Romney's treatment of their dog ran through my mind as well.
