Hindsight?? She’s known for a long time that her children were in danger, and just kept bringing more into the situation. Just because she didn’t specifically know he’d throw them off a bridge doesn’t mean she didn’t know it wasn’t safe to leave infants and toddlers with a crack addict. I’m sure she’s wisdom-proof. She needs legal authorities to take control of her life. Plenty of past cases have shown the pointlessness of trying to teach women like this how to become responsible parents. It’s always helpless children who end up paying the price for bleeding heart liberals’ pathetic attempts to reform unreformable adults.

The information provided doesn’t specifically state the period of time the father was a drug addict. A “history”, and “...previous drug problems” doesn’t tell us much except to say he has a substance abuse problem.

For all we know, this may have been a problem before they were united. You are drawing conclusion that appear to be based on prejudice. Just because the family initially feared the children had been traded for a drug habit doesn’t explain the details surrounding their concern. Had he threatened his wife that very day that he would do such a thing? We simply don’t know.

Furthermore, the father was a “shrimper” Crack addicts don’t have jobs.

“...trying to teach women like this....responsible parents.” At the very least, we know she had a job. What we do not know is the details involving her longterm relationship with the father, as well as the kind of mother she was with her children. “She needs legal authorities to take control of her life.” Yes, and the “legal” authorities have quite a track record when it comes to family welfare and intervention. After all, wasn’t it you who criticized the establishment when you stated, “...bleeding heart liberals’ pathetic attempts to reform unreformable adults”, and, “...since our political/legal system evolved to do nothing
about situations like this...”

I can empathize with your frustration, but what I cannot agree with is your defeatist attitude surrounding this entire tragedy.

Prayers for the family.
