They say a picture is worth a thousand words.
A wise woman I know once said that while she supported adoption, “you never know what you are getting”.
Wowza..! What an angel, oh sure, what parent wouldn’t want to take home that there TUPAC, right..?
Shudder.
Look at those eyes...
Wow...dead eyes.
Anyway, if I am going to adopt anything, it’s going to be a dog.
I do can just fine without any adopted humans.
I have to say this: our legal system is very much in need of an overhaul when this is an expected situation:
allegedly stabbed her repeatedly with a kitchen knife at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday in front of two other siblings ... Travis Gallo was arrested at the scene and pleaded not guilty to murder
I would like the justice system to take a perp aside and say, "Look, if you plead guilty, you're looking at 10 years in jail and you can start serving the time tonight. It will save a lot of time and money for everyone. Or, you can plead Not Guilty. Let me be clear: you will be convicted. Then you get the death penalty with one chance at appeal, and that won't go well for you either. So -- what's it going to be?"
My grandparents took in foster kids and had a twin brother stab another to death in their kitchen.
As horrible as this story is, you can’t fault the doctor for trying to do good.
Tragic, but there are dozens if not hundreds of murders by biological family members every year. I hope no one would incriminate adoption based on this incident.
No good deed goes unpunished.
AND, now the need to register ‘kitchen knives’ comes to be!
Roast the bastard alive!
At the end of the day, the Doctor is responsible.
Most likely, He was busy with his life and left his warehouse full of kids to “others” to tend to which “perhaps” led to no one noticing any “sign” about this kid being a tad deficient in his cerebellum, which we now CLEARLY know.
No doubt the Doctor meant well but “9” kids of his own plus the adopted kids tells a thoughtful,reflective, intelligent person that the good docs character IS “a little” flawed. I mean an OB-GYN Doc is a busy, busy man!
How could he possibly allocate time to each kid, to say nothing of love.
Now that one of his flock has killed another human being, and the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill (millions) for his raging libido and recklessness, will he accept full responsibility in terms of dollars and words. I doubt it.
Bottom line: I can’t believe this kid did not in some way show signs of danger towards the other kids. Perhaps an investigation will uncover such information. Perhaps not. But, if their is some history re the kid being a danger to others, then the good doc may have an issue with a local prosecutor. I believe in adoption but 13 -15 kids and a full time OB-GYN doc is rather like 2 + 2 = 5......
I think this thread needs a do over...some pretty sick and gratuitous comments here...
I think the brother that murderd his sister had deep issues that were not seen, or not seen as seriously as they needed to be, by the parents, and given the size of the family. Raising children requires time, quality timew, and getting enough quality time for each child IS naturally more difficult with more children. I am not excusing the brother. I am noting that something was deeply amiss with the brother and it had escaped the parents attention. That does not surprise me. Love is not enough. It takes time, quality time and its hard to do with a very large family.
Nature vs nurture. Nature always wins (without the grace of God)
As for this “eyes” business you see plenty of white people with dead eyes, plenty of trash you know would kill and not think twice about it, plenty of angry whites who you try to get away from and keep away from.
