In Malaysia, sex before marriage is already a norm among youngsters. What with clubs and all sprouting like mushrooms everywhere, and the advent of cable television some decade ago which brought along with the MTV culture and the likes. The sad thing is abandoning babies is getting more and more common among malay muslims. Due to fear of how the fraternising malay muslim community will incarcerate the poor young mother, and not having enough sense and means to abort the fetus in its early stages; when the baby is born, more often than not, it is left to die. I wish the muslim community here will open their veiled minds and learn to solve this social problem in a more loving way.

These were all just horrid - and I saw the father from the 3rd story on the news, I just can’t accept any reason for this happening. just steps away. So so sad. Time to get those laws changed - liquor or not, just once is too much. and it happens WAY too much. I cannot even go out doors in this weather and I’m an adult, it’s really, really hard to think of the helpless children in these situations, and worse to think, that people who do this are just let off, scot-free. Where’s the deterrent.
Horrid - I do have a hard time watching the news in Winnipeg, - it’s heartrendering. I will look into this further though, as just talking doesn’t help.

It reminds me of an artical I read about a mother in Arizona last summer.
She went to work at hooters in the morning. The teprature got up above 100.
When she got off work she reaized she had left her infant in the car seat and forgot to take him to daycare. He had died in her hot car, not even a window was cracked.
My heart broke as I read this and I cried. How can this happen? I read an artical everyday in the newspaper about how a child has been neglected, killed or beaten.
When you turn the pages of the newspaper classifieds you can see a couple wanting to adopt a chld.

Hi Bill,

YOU NEED A LICENCE TO OWN A DOG, OR DRIVE A CAR BUT NOT TO PROCREATE….WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE…

Sorry for the ‘rant back’ Bill. There is no excuse for beating and infant and abandoning it, no excuse for being such a moron to make the choice to get blind drunk when you are supervising 2 infants, nor is there an excuse for leaving kids in the car at the mall….

Its the same over here in Australia. People just seem to get away with the most unimaginable things. We had just before xmas, a couple went to some sort of hiking spot with a group of friends, there 3 year old was asleep, so they left her in the car, windows closed (we have the opposite over here, we have the hot weather and the children dehydrate) On a simple 30 to 35 degree day, the car tempreture reaches up to over 50 degrees. These numnuts (thanks babychaos, I love that word!), ended up going home in seperate cars, and by the time they got home they wondered where there daughter was! Hence, the car being left up at the hiking spot, hence the child dying, hence, they got away with it for sheer stupidity. I believe they should be had up for manslaughter. Any parent in there right mind A) Doesn’t leave their child in the car on a really hot day and B) Who leaves without checking where there children are? I agree with Babychaos, steralize all these animals so that no future incidents can happen to any other poor little children that are born to them. They say we choose our parents before we are born, I am yet to understand how a spirit can choose these such people.

One of the things I tried to teach my children was that one of the measurements of maturity is how capable we are of seeing beyond ourselves to how others are being affected around us and to modify our own behaviour when necessary. The woman who left her children in an unheated vehicle obviously didn’t think through what would happen if she was in any way delayed or if someone decided to break a window. It must have been easier for her not to try and tow three children around. The abandoned child (who was reported to be about 6 mon old with possible signs of physical abuse) was less important than whatever else the one who abandoned her wanted and the man who left his children outside in -50C temperatures was more intent on satisfying his desire for alcohol than protecting his children from a drunk incoherent father. Should they be punished? Probably. But maybe they’re just a symptom of a society that no longer requires people to grow up.

I find it sad and irritating that people who are infertile have to jump through hoops to get a child. My husband and I have had to take numerous classes through CFS and have to provide a ridiculous amount of paperwork and fork over cash that we don’t have just so that we can provide our son with a sibling.
It seems unfair that some people who have no common sense or responsibility only have to jump in the sack to end up with a whole litter of children that they don’t want or can’t afford. I think that I’m going to go and cry now.
