Mother to surrender in videotaped beating of girl

I was right! She is a grifter (gypsy con families).

Now that she has turned herself in, we learn through Fox News that she is indeed part of the grifter network in this country. The trailer park in Texas where she lives was shown and that would explain the lack of cooperation by her family or should I say the unity exhibited by her family when this story broke.

Satire is not reality. Satire often describes absurd situations which would never exist in reality. However by use of fantastic absurdity a good satire provides insight into the truth of real intentions or motives.

The "fat police" were only a few years back such an absurdist satire.

You could have written 'what appears to be a white trash whore'. I couldn't help noticing that the woman was 'white'. Now, I don't believe that she was 'trash'. In fact, she appeared to be dressed the way most women do when they go to Walmart. Now, why would you call her 'whore'? Do you have any evidence that she had sex with other people for money or other type of compensation?

Hey, if the shoe fits -- people who shoplift and punch their children in public deserve to be called "white trash".

[Dick Bachert]

If you DID NOT see what this bitch did, you have no business commenting.

If, however, you DID see her "performance" and commented as you did, you are a fool!

I just saw it and, while I DO feel there are numerous instances of DFCS bureaucrats grossly abusing their power, this BITCH should never be allowed contact with a child again. She will, unless stopped now, KILL a kid some day.

In my mind, she is the leading candidate for poster girl for "Unfit Mothers of the World."

"An adult viciously and repeatedly punches a four year old in the head. People are outraged about it. And you not only blow it off as nothing, but act morally superior to those who are outraged by it...What's the matter with you?"

In the context of world "violence", this incident is trivial...

Why must people like you first be notified by CNN and ABC before climbing out of your hot tub in a collective sigh of naive disbelief and outrage? What planet are you on to be oblivious to such goings on in the land of milk and honey? Try getting out some time and catching some of the truly tragic atrocities committed against the truly defenseless children in countries not as fortunate as the U.S.

So that means you obviously think that cameras in the homes is a possibility, right?

And what "fat police" are you talking about?

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

My anger is directed exactly at who it should be. The "justice system" did not beat up a four year old girl. I am sorry if you don't appreciate the oinkish commments. However, I call 'em how I see 'em.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

I think the sheeple do realize what the news media is about. Have you seen the polls that show what the American people think of the news media? I think the only group that is less popular is attorneys.

Gadzooks, bro! Everybody's gettin' all Biblical and whatnot...

Oh well... Well I just got in from a running club shindig, had a good run, been out on the bike all weekend... Great weather for it too. I'm goin' to go catch me a lil' shuteye before my Monday starts up here... Catch ya later... ;)

[homeschool mama]

Obviously I should have clarified myself better...my intention was not to say you are an unfit parent in any way...my intention was to say that being a parent doesn't make one a good parent. I failed in my attempt...and I apologize. My other point was that beating is not discipline. Your explanation of how you disciplined your kiddos proves your love for them. Again, my apologies.

[MeekOneGOP]

...I'm goin' to go catch me a lil' shuteye before my Monday starts up here... Catch ya later... ;)

Sounds like ya had a good weekend, Max. Goodnight, and I'll catch you later when you're rested and have the time....

Ask the FR posters on here, the apologists for this child-beating BITCH, that if they came out to a parking lot and saw a woman reaching into a car doing this to THEIR child, what kind of charges they would press?

Assault?

Attempted murder?

Just a minor incident and have it dismissed?

She'll get hers in the slammer. And I won't shed a single terror when they lock the cell.

The FAT POLICE:

New Law Seeks To Reduce Obesity
Albany--AP | 21 September 2002

... This week, the governor signed the Obesity Prevention Act into law ... Fifteen other states have passed legislation

Surprised you have missed this modern reality.

[TomB]

It asks the Health Department to find ways to help New Yorkers get healthier, reduce obesity and cut the cost to the state.

Obviously a silly and unnecessary and all too typical extention of the nanny state. But I fail to see where this is the "Fat Police".

Are you always this paranoid?

[bvw]

Semper Paratus.

If I caught you hitting my child or ANY child there wouldn't be enough left of you to identify.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Precisely.

Some people around here are like large segments of the African American community....you could show them a detailed, grisly security video of OJ stabbing the bodies, and they would still say 'no proof!' 'he was set up!'

[TigersEye]

I see. I thought you were referring to me as 'some people'. Perhaps you meant my wife, .30Carbine. Of course not. There was nothing in any of her posts that defended Toogood or child abuse either. Without misconstruing her words completely that is.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Yep.

[TigersEye]

Thank you. I knew you couldn't be so dense as to actually think that .30Carbine was in any way defending her or her actions.
