* Police discuss Surprise mom who chose to leave kids to become stripper
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Police officers arrested a 29-year-old Surprise woman after she reportedly told police she didn't want her children any longer and punched her 11-year-old son in the stomach in front of officers.
On Friday, police received a call from an 11-year-old boy who said his mother was packing and moving to California and wasn't taking him or his 6-year-old brother with her.
When police officers arrived, they contacted the 11-year-old outside the family's apartment in the 16600 block of North Greasewood Street.
According to police spokesman Sgt. Mark Ortega, the boy's mother, Christina Muniz, came out and told officers that she was "sick of her children" and wanted the police to take them so she can "have fun and play."
Ortega said Muniz told police she wanted to start her life over and follow her dream of wanting to become a stripper and move to California.
The older boy told investigators that he took care of himself and his little brother. He said their mom spent her money on alcohol and there wasn't very much food in the house.
Responding officers contacted Child Protective Services.
Ortega said Muniz continued to be verbally abusive to the children in the presence of CPS and police. She reportedly yelled at the children, cursed at them and told them she did not want them.
As the children were being removed by CPS, the older boy attempted to hug his mom and she punched him in the stomach, according to Ortega.
CPS had been contacted in the past for reports of physical and emotional abuse, but caseworkers said the complaint was unsubstantiated.
Muniz was arrested and charged with child neglect, aggravated assault, disorderly conduct and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The concept of the “perpetual childhood” is a very new one and it only occurs in leftist western societies.
You ever do any genealogy, hun? I am guessing not because you would have found out that no one sat around attached to their parents wallets like a leech like the perpetual children of today do. You also would have found out that a great proportion of your ancestors were married while still teenagers and had 2-3 kids by the time they were 20. Now how in the hell did all these “emotionally immature, financially unstable” people manage to raise a family? Because they were not allowed by life or society to remain perpetual children like the wallet leeches of today are. You would have also found that alot of families were run by single parents, too. Being abandoned by a spouse or being a widow/widower was common. Abandonment of children was also common-for example my great great grandfather was a widower and he put his son in a orphanage because he could not support or take care him and none of the relatives could afford to do so, either.
People back then knew that life was unfair and hard, too-they learned that there are winners and more importantly LOSERS. They did not have the leftist teacher union psychobabble about how “everyone is a winner” because if there are winners and losers then someone’s “self esteem” might get bruised. They knew that if they wanted to eat and to live they had to work and work hard, not sit in their parent’s basement and pouting because mommy and daddy won’t buy them the big screen 3D TV they want.
People back then also had a strong moral and societal foundation. Over the last 70 years those foundations have been burned to the ground by the leftists and their agendas.
Unfortunately for today’s wallet leeches who are mired in perpetual childhood are going to learn that reality is a very harsh mistress who doesn’t suffer fools lightly. Once the money is gone (and that day is soon coming) they have nothing to offer and are too lazy and too full of “self esteem” to do what it will take in order for them to survive. It is rapidly turning into a dog eat dog world and the wallet leeches are all wearing milk bone underwear.
People who make comments such as the one you did enable the perpetual children to never face the harsh realities of life because you assume that no one under the age of 30 has the “emotional maturity or financial stability” to raise a family.
FYI-My sister had her first child at 16, her second at 18. She was abandoned by her “husband” at the age of 22. She was a grandmother at the age of 36. She managed to raise her children just fine, thankyouverymuch. They may not have had all the toys and other things they wanted growing up but they always had a roof over their heads, food on the table and were loved. Today those children work hard and are successful in what they do, have taken good care of their finances and not gone into debt and are good parents.
“This is what happens when teenagers have babies and don’t give them up for adoption. They eventually tire of the job of parenting. Any parent that would let their daughter keep her baby and not give it up is NUTS!”
The comment above is about the most ignorant post I’ve ever seen on FR - and that’s saying something!
Talk about painting with a broad brush!
It's a pity that satire has to be pointed out to you.
However, in the remainder of society late teen, early 20’s marriage has fared much better,IMO.
You'd be wrong. Most of my ancestors (back to the 1700s) didn't have children until they were around 30. My parents were 34 when I was born, my grandfather was 43 when his first children were born. I'm almost 36 and I haven't had children (or gotten married) yet. Now, my father was in his early 20s when he married his first wife and had a child, and it broke apart because she was nowhere near ready to be settled into a responsible relationship and dragged my elder half-sister through an abusive second marriage. My half-sister didn't get married until she was around 30 and had 2 kids by the time she was about 34.
"People who make comments such as the one you did enable the perpetual children to never face the harsh realities of life because you assume that no one under the age of 30 has the “emotional maturity or financial stability” to raise a family."
I'm sorry if you don't like my comments, but you already reinforced a lot of them in your post. We can "pretend" that most are ready today (or should be "forced" to recognize the harshness of life -- as if that will somehow change the dynamic) or we can acknowledge the reality and figure out they're not. I've seen far too many that aren't and have no business having children. I always urge youngsters (especially young women, since they're the ones that bare the brunt of the burden) not to have children until they're at least around 25, in a committed relationship/married, and in a stable job.
This is what I’ve observed personally in my lifetime, and especially from the 1980s onward, not just from these execrable tv reality shows, which I thankfully do not watch. I had enough experience with seeing the “real” reality, and virtually none of it had good outcomes.
I suppose poorly done satire is still satire...yet satire is supposed to have a point which is reasonably discernable to the reader.
So, because you seem to have missed the point...what was the message of your poorly crafted satire?
Your powers of discernment are clearly not up to par, then.

You're too dense to get it, so I somehow missed the point? Uh huh....
If you can't see that single teen mothers raising children alone is bad, then you need to take off your rose colored glasses.
Unfortunately, most teens aren’t good mothers no matter what their background our upbringing. My daughter graduated in 07 from a private girl’s school. We aren’t talking about inner city girls. Many of them have gotten pregnant and are single. Their facebook pages are full of comments about going out and partying, meanwhile they have babies at home. Mom watches them. They dress the kids up, take their pictures and post them to facebook. They are too young and immature to provide a loving stable home for their children. I predict a generation of extremely screwed up people in the very near future.
Many parents encourage their daughters to keep the baby. A girl that age is usually still under the influence of the parents and the parents can have a huge influence on the decision.
I admire Sarah Palin, but if my daughter had been in that situation, I would have encouraged her to put the baby up for adoption and get on with her life.
She surely “substantiated” the earlier charges, wouldn’t you say? I’d bet she did all that purposefully to be sure CPS took the kids. How kids ever recover from being treated like that is hard to imagine.
Congrats on 60 years!
I have put up with my wife for exactly 25 today.
I love to hear about the success stories. I’m very happy for your step-sister and her kids!
Don't you have that backwards? ;-P
Congrats! My marriage turns 21 later this year.
Sounds as if she’s about to get half of her wish.
Chapter Two of the Big Book of AA talks of the "warped lives of blameless children".
Prayers for the kids.
Congrats as well!
I sure hope she doesn’t see the post.
;<)
she must be a real trooper - congrats
