Was that Bertha, Bella, or Bathsheba Butt?
The child’s mother Grace Smith (l) and father James Smith (r) were also arrested. (Escambia County Jail)
I saw that and watched the local TV video clip. These people are “the dead child’s adoptive parents!” The “mother” looks to be in her 60’s or older. The open question is are they “adoptive” of the child who was one of their children’s children? Seems very strange that they should have a 9 year old to raise at their ages.
” I have been in WalMart and seen...”
Wow! You’ve been in Walmart and “seen”! Please provide a link to your scholarly research!
What chew talkin bout Willis? Looks like a 400 lb Gary Coleman.
Tragic.
I assume this was before they put the Child in the Oven.
Huh? I was just talking about it as a place where I have seen families with some cruel and aggressive child discipline measures that seem to be a cultural thing. People actually have done research on the subject, though, and you can find many articles about the effect of violent child disciplinary practices on the development of the angry, violent personalities that lead to the shootings and violence in many low-income communities.
The parents (or frequently, grandparents, who have already messed up one batch of children) believe they are doing this to improve the child’s behavior, of course. But much of it is based on a sort of 19th century attitude that children are fundamentally inclined to be bad and that they must be severely disciplined to “correct” them. Combine that with the fact that families in the old sense of the word barely exist in most lower income black or white communities and you have nobody to come to the defense of the child, who is simply left at the mercy of one (often crazy) cruel adult.
WTF is that?!?!?
Child from former husband...................
She never did die all the other times I sat on her...
Ah, thanks.
I agree completely with your statement about the problems with “underclass folk” and their non-existent parenting skills. What bothered me was your “disgust” with the comments. I believe the poster’s you refer to are outraged, and we need MORE outrage of this kind. Passive acceptance of outrageous behavior is what’s gotten us into this mess. I save my outrage for the brainwashed leftists who promote and celebrate outrageous behavior, not Freeper posters who post in a “less than P.C.” manner.
