Thanks, Jesus...One More Dead Kid

[thesummerqueen]

It's sad that you have to get a license to own a dog, but any idiot can have children.

I treat my dog better than a lot of people treat their children.

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. — A Clarksville woman charged with killing her 7-month-old daughter Friday told police “Jesus came down” and took her daughter to heaven while she was bathing her, according to an arrest warrant.

At least, in the UK, such a defense causes almost universal derision and is more likely to get you an extended sentence (with time in the padded rooms) than any sympathy from a judge. Not to mention what the general prison population make of child-killers! I know it's scant consolation for those who suffer or are moved by such tragedies but it's reassurance that the vast majority of people are still sane.

[Mr. Moncrieff]

I fucking hate people some days.

I'd bathe in acid before I'd hurt my children.

I wish it were that way here, but unfortunately with as religious and superstitious as the population is, in some jurisdictions they don't even prosecute people who allow their kids to die while they pray for them to get better instead of taking them to a doctor.

That's sickening abrogation of parental and legislative responsibility. I assume there are those who publically oppose such behaviour, both socially and politically?

It really fucking is.

A Christian uses Jesus, an atheist uses a twinkie....whats the difference?

I'm almoat afraid to ask what this is supposed to mean. Did an atheist let a baby die and blame it on a twinkie?

A somewhat happier ending to another jesus freak with kids that she wanted to kill.

Help for a woman who was distraught and uneven, having driven to Florida to get away from her husband. Who had gone, at her sister's urging, to a hospital only to sign herself out earlier in the day. A woman who was "talking about Jesus and that there's demons in my house," her sister said on a 911 call.

At least bystanders saved the kids.

I don't know if she was christian or not, but obviously she was insane.

Twinkies are apparently evil.

It's a completely ridiculous comparison.

For a start I've yet to see an atheist justify some vile act by saying it's thanks to a twinkie.
