not even for a couple of minutes?

lol

so much for sleeping !

or checking the mail, or heck even letting them watch TV while you cook.

They must be stared at 24/7 !

now having said all that, this guy is a creep and probably killed the baby for messing with his TV remote.

I feel for this entire family. ..as they... contemplate what they could have done to prevent it,

Well, gee, I just wonder.

What kind of source is this???

[Haiku Guy]

If you have bought any kind of opaque bin in the past few years, it will have this warning sticker inside:

Seems kind of obvious...

What kind of mother leaves her 18-month old child with a boyfriend who has a drug habit? I just don't get it — so often, when we read of child abuse, it's by some guy the mother is hooking up with at the time. Don't they ever think of their children when they bring these low-lifes home?

[cuban leaf]

—Other details are murky as to why police arrived at the house when there was no record of a call being made to them that day and where the mother was.—

Murky? That’s an understatement.

I feel for this entire family. I can only imagine their pain and suffering right now as they piece together what happened, contemplate what they could have done to prevent it, and beat themselves up for the rest of their lives over what they didn't do. But that's the thing when it comes to our children's safety -- we don't get do-overs, and that's why we have to put it first, above anything else.

 

 

Ohhh, I don't know. Mommy can always have another child. And find another meth addict boyfriend to watch it.

His defense: But it worked out so WELL for that kid in the movies...

[jagusafr]

“Eric Hicks, 28, was watching his girlfriend’s 18-month-old son, Emjay Corn, Saturday morning. He had an appointment at a methadone clinic”

Holy crap. With that kind of mom, this kid never had a chance.

[WayneS]

What was he supposed to do?

“Take Your Child to the Methadone Clinic Day” was LAST week...

[dead]

What a goofy article this is!

She writes it like the sordid tale is some sort of parable to help teach other drug addict boyfriends some valuable baby sitting lessons.

[WayneS]

I just don’t know WHAT the baby’s mother could have done to prevent this...

...apart from NOT LEAVING HER CHILD IN THE CARE OF A HEROIN ADDICT...

[fortheDeclaration]

Sounds like the writer is blaming the death on lack of child care!

[Huskrrrr]

I’ll be interested in learning the time of death. Could be the kid died before the addict left the house.

[twhitak]

young children should never be left home alone

But, then again, it is apparently no worse than being left home with Eric Hicks.

Note to all the druggie libertarians: this is another example of how drugs - somehow, someway - end up hurting innocent people, in this case someone who never even got a chance at life.

Maybe you should lay off the ‘drugs are a victimless crime’ crap and grow up.

“He had an appointment at a methadone clinic, but instead of taking the boy with him or finding alternative care for him, he just left him there, alone in his crib. Sometime later the boy was found dead.”

Three words: Mommy’s new boyfriend.

Mommy’s new boyfriend was having drug cravings and killed baby in fit. More than likely boyfriend does not even remember doing it. OR Mommy’s new boyfriend so high on methadone he did it then and still does not remember it.

Either way Mommy’s new boyfriend strikes again.

WINNING!

If I were responsible for the death of a child they’d have to take my booking photo of me where I lay on the floor curled up in horrified guilt and grief - they’d probably have to draw height marks alongside my head on the floor. This guy looks relatively peeved by comparison.

[AppyPappy]

He killed the kid. I guarantee
