Let's asses the situation:
- mother in jail, soon to post $5000 bail
- mother's sister in jail, arrested for 'failing to report child abuse'. She may be out by now.
- girl in state's custody, may be assigned to foster parents, not likely to be allowed to live with her family for a long time, possibly for ever
- girl's siblings may not see their little sister for a long time
- a bunch of Freepers happy because yet another kid is liberated away from her natural family and thrown into the (long and) loving arms of the 'authorities'.
Now, the racist, statist, lookist 'concerned citizens', the ambulance chasing profession AND Hillary Clinton must be happy beyond happy. The little girl has been finally liberated from her mother, father(?), siblings, playmates, etc.
Oh, she is also fine, physically speaking.
I didn't watch much news lately (it's the weekend, you know?), but I got this from a post by .30Carbine:
The girl showed no visible signs of injuries, but Child Protective Services will temporarily place her with another family that is not related, prosecutor Chris Toth said Saturday. He said she was being examined at a hospital.
``She's safe. We just have to, at this point, make sure there are not any deeper physical injuries,'' Toth said. ``She's a sweet, wonderful girl. Physically she looks fine.''
According to something I heard last night, it may take up to ONE YEAR before the daughter could be ALLOWED to be reunited with her (as some 'freepers' put it) WHITE TRASH, SHOPLIFTING WHORE, also MOTHER OF THREE.
Could any of the 'concerned citizens' who advocate making other people business their own explain how could THIS heal. They were talking about a spanking/beating causing PERMANENT PSYCHOLOGICAL SCARS that the girl will live with for the rest of her life.
Could those who advocate making other people business their own explain now how forcing a 4-yr. old away from her family for up to one year NOT hurt the girl?
I'm sure they have all kinds of answers. I'm just curious what they are.
Common, let's see, who comes up with the best creative nonsense!!!!
It's a challenge boys and girls AND it will make you feel good about yourselves. Perhaps you can also explain on what basis you were describing the girl's mother as 'white trash', 'whore', 'white trash whore' and 'shop lifter'.
Oh, one more thing, I haven't heard from Hillary but, last night I had the TV tuned into Fox covering the Arafat situation as I was falling asleep (this is the kind of TV programming that puts me to sleep fast). I had my eyes closed so I couldn't see the lovely facial expressions but I heard friend-of-FR and certified liar and licensed adulterer HERALDO suggesting that the girl's mother should have 'her hands broken'. She told the audience that she WAS a monster. Fox blonde Rita Cosby was, of course, in total agreement with HERALDO and so... BIZARRE, was THE FORMER U.S. AMBASSADOR to one of those Arab Emirates who decided that he HAD to agree that the girl's mother was A MONSTER when asked to comment about the Arafat situation.
So, here you are people, you got HERALDO on your side now.
You MUST be both PROUD and HAPPY. You were on the correct side of history.
Let's hear from you now as I go out to calibrate my new crossbow.
Trust me, you don't. Reading some of the responses here I wonder what some people are really looking at.
As God is my witness, I got physically ill after watching it. Admittedly, having a 4yo daughter myself (as well as an 8 yo son and a 21 m.o. daughter) brought it especially close to home for me.

So, if I assault someone and don't leave a mark, I'm innocent?
Of course, and anyone who thinks otherwise is being "hysterical."
Kids who throw tantums? And what would you call Ms. Toogood's public demonstration?
If they are as calculating in their cons as their history suggests, we will never know.
But I know what I saw in the vidoetape. I saw an enraged adult, completely out of control, viciously assault a defenseless little girl. If Toogood has been teaching the little girl to con, shoplift, and steal, that is further evidence that she is unfit to have custody of her.
Only spiritually sick and mentally unstable people will continue to defend Toogood in this assault.
It can if she's not the same little girl.
Of course we have the word of professional thieves and liars that she is the same little girl.
Funny, I haven't heard anybody say that she "might not even be alive". While I don't doubt that it may have been said, don't try to pass that off as the prevailing opinion, because it wasn't. And it was already pointed out that the mother conveniently disappeared with the little girl for 8 days, long enough for bruises to heal. Although it should be obvious that no all abuse leaves bruises, blows to the body especially, and not all bruises are physical.
The video has been misinterpreted. People assumed that she had been beaten enough to be bruised, hurt, and possibly killed.
The mother herself admitted that she hit the little girl with a closed fist. Aside from that you have both the mother and husband of the woman admitting the beating was abuse.
The fact remains that she is unhurt and this cannot be disputed.
Only to you and a few others around here.
I noticed exactly the same thing. There is also one fact that cannot be overlooked: the child was unhurt and healthy.
What does that have to do with the case? Do you have to leave a mark in order for it to be abuse?
