The article states the baby was returned to her mother on Sunday, and that the 13 year old uncle was assigned to watch the baby!!! WTF??
It means that the mother wasn't negligent, in the sense that she left the kid alone. She did make arrangements for child care, and in Colorado a 13-yo is judged competent for babysitting.
In hindsight, leaving the baby in the hands of her POS brothers was a really rotten move; but she clearly tried to do the right thing.
I suspect, however, that from now on the juvenile mother of this child will be seeing more than a few representatives of the local Child Welfare agencies.
You misread the article.
First, no abortion, second, trying to earn aliving by WORKING, third, sometimes things happen. We have six, and if ours were pulled everytime something happen4ed that could have been prevented somehow, we would be childless now. We either want a nanny state or we don't.
I know this is overly broad, but give the pool girl a break, she's doing her best with the resources available. Btw, this is just a general post, not in response to any particular prior post.
