Seven years? I think they left off several zeros. They should be sterilized, rot in jail in gen pop and THEN they can go to Hell. And I'm feeling charitable tonight.

First off I am not a Troll. Second, Texas is no better or worse than any other state re: The quality and competence of the big gov't child services people (i.e., They are for the most part populated by incompetents or worse). I simply used it as an example given the recent horror of the woman who cut off her baby's arms - This after Child Services and State Psychologists had dealt with this woman over a period of several months leading up to this atrocity and, according to the caseworker, "Everything seemed fine".

Your citation of the Steinberg (?) case in New York is yet another example of the failings of the state with respect to the protection of the helpless so, you see, it is endemic to the system, not to a specific State.

Bring back the gallows!

Scum. Pure scum
I cannot fathom what internal disconnect is going on with these people. I couldn't leave a dog in that situation never mind my own kids. Are they missing a compassion gene?

What also baffles me is how a babysitter could look at this situation and not react in a more proactive way.

One thing for sure. Her reception in the womans prison will not be a pretty one. I dont think his little dose of "porridge" (UK slang for a jail term) is going to have sugar on it either

Please see my post 22. It's not about Texas, it's about the deficiencies of so-called Child Protective Services institutions.

OK, sorry.

[drt1]

Thanks. Actually, it probably would have been a better example of what I was trying to convey if I had cited Florida as an example (But I would have Pi**ed someone else off!). The point is that ALL states are in a race for the bottom in the area of Child Protection and the psychological testing and evaluation is another story by itself.

Thank you for your clarification. I'm sure you understand the need for my question, as making defamatory comments about Texas for no apparent reason has, for many inarticulate Leftists, become a substitute for voicing their normal hysterical lies about President Bush and an oblique way of criticizing the current Administration, which they think is terribly clever.
Naturally, this horrific circumstance could occur anywhere on the planet, including Socialist Meccas such as Scandinavia. It's more of a reflection of the absolute depravity and evil of these two people, and an illustration of how terrible people can do terrible things to others rather than a commentary on any particular country or society.

Sick. Send them to Fallujah, one way ticket!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,

Don't bother, one in the back of the head for each of them.

"I cannot fathom what internal disconnect is going on with these people."

its called the Pleasure Principle....

I will rant til my death bed that we humans have to have SOME control over our basic instincts and we have to actually DENY ourselves some pleasure in order for civilization to survive....

I know in my heart that living a moral life has as its result a better society, a better culture....

but throw in drugs and alcohol and promiscuity without any reguard to anything else..and this is what you get....animals...absolute animals.....

[drt1]

I see. Really didn't think of THAT Texas angle - Oops! I'm 97% W and would be 100% if immigration, failure to veto excessive spending and equalization of trade policy were adequately addressed.

[adiaireton8]

Exactly.

[derllak]

My wish is that they both be sterilized. God forbid they should have any more children! You can't get much sicker than to treat your own children like garbage! The relatives are no better. I hope they are all tormented by this for the rest of their lives. No rest (or peace) for the wicked!
