So dies the myth of maternal instinct.

It sounds like the girls were just goofing around, and meant no harm to the child. It was a joke, like many that you see in youtube or wherever. It was probably deserving of some stern talk, and no more babysitting jobs, but maybe criminal charges are a bit over the top. IMHO

[trisham]

Sick.

Danvers used to be called Salem Village, the place where the actual witch trials were held. (Salem, MA, capitalizes on the notoriety.)

Some of the speculation about the girls that brought the charges were the consumption of 'shrooms, or the "natural LSD" that can occur in grains.

Perhaps these girls were on more modern psychotropic substance(s)?

Great job, moms. You raised two little vidiot monsters. I’m sure you’re proud...

The girls were arraigned Tuesday in Essex Juvenile Court in Salem on charges of child endangerment and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

“The refrigerator was the dangerous weapon,” O’Connell told the Herald yesterday.

What the girls did was stupid. But this O’Connell retard???

Stupid plus stupid.

The problem is we basically have a generation that has no proper concept of the boundaries of right and wrong. Or socially acceptable behavior, because all behavior is acceptable now.

[ClearCase_guy]

In the past, being stupid has not actually been illegal.

If the rules have changed, Maxine Waters should be worried.

CNN host Alisyn Camerota issued a statement saying “it was only children playing a hide and seek game, nothing more than playing. The child did not die, this time!”.
Fiction? Maybe not.

>>The girls, whose names were not released because they’re juveniles,

Until crap like this is changed I expect nothing better from feral kids.

It seems pretty routine for people to post videos of themselves doing idiotic and obnoxious stuff online then getting in trouble for it.

More problems for others with these two on the way up.

This is just great. Now that it has gone public, ISIS is going to use this technique to REALLY terrorize Americans. Have we gone nuts? Let the parents discipline the girls and stay out of it.

[tuffydoodle]

2 girls put a crying INFANT into a fridge and close the door. People here are defending them saying “girls will be girls.” Boggles the mind.

Those girls need to be taught a hard lesson about cruelty before they do something worse. Life and kindness mean nothing to them.
