Missed that. Please, just for my sanity, explain to me, how can you leave a child in a car UNINTENIONALLY? You lose your car keys unintenionally, you have an accident unintenionally, but you make the DECISION to leave a kid in a car. You do, or you don't. And if you do, you're either stupid, or you don't give a damn. Both not really valid excuses if you ask me.
It's like saying 'Oh yeah, I poured the gasoline out in the house, and I threw a lit match into it, but I certainly didn't start the fire intentionally!' Give me a break!!
First off, accidents, there are NO SUCH thing. Thats neglect right? ACCIDENTS CAUSE DEATH TOO. WHAT IF YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION AND WRECK INTO SOMEONE AND KILL THEM? SAME THING...RIGHT?
Do you see SOMEWHAT OF MY POINT?
This is whats wrong with some poeple, I wasnt trying to start a fight ..these are my opinions take it worth a grain of salt. Maybe becasue we're all busy doing 120984 things that when a sleeping child is in the back of your car, and you werent supposed to have them that day, you're rushing to get to work on time, need to pick up this before work, your husband always takes the kid, or babysitter always has the kid.. I dont know how you can pass judgement so easily. Sometimes you need to see both sides of a picture. Lifei snt black and white sorry to inform you there are many shades of gray. I understand these are your opinions but sorry I think for myself and have my own.
The thing is how did this jump to I think everyone who leaves the kid in the car is righteous? Yeah I bet 85% of the time it is neglect, but the 15% has to live with the fact that it happened to them for the rest of their lives. ..I hope you dont beleive in god beucase you're passing an awful lot of judgement.
I try to see both sides of a story. Why is there 3 degrees of murder? Why is there manslaughter? Beucase life isnt black and white. Do I think it was manslaughter yes, but that mother has to live with the fact of it for the rest of her life that she was rushing so much that she forgot about her child, and it resulted in her death.
Little kids are quick, and no one here can even lie and say that they havent lost sight EVER of their child. That would be a total lie. How many people here have their coffee tables padded? How about every electrical outlet safetied? Or how about have steps? 4 year olds are capable of climbing up steps, what if they fall down and break their neck? Are you going to sit there and say..WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE HAD GATES UP. How many people with stairs and 4 year olds have gates up? Theres so many things we overlook as something that OH SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS..SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT. No parent is perfect. and plus, if you let your kid even walk to the bus stop alone, theres a set up for something potentially going wrong. So you better pad up your coffee tables, safety up the outlets, and make sure there is absoultely no small objects on the ground, especially if you happened to drop a penny or change out of your pocket, you should have noticed that. But guess what...no ones perfect. we make mistakes and shit happens. and parents that deal with their kid dying in a death like this have to live with it the rest of their life. You dont think that some of them do the same thing? I'm sure the guilt eats them alive, but the thing is some didnt sit there and go, you know what this childs in the car and I'm going to leave them in it for my whole work day, school day, etc.
Im sorry If I'm coming off rude, I honestly didnt mean to make a fight. I have opinions of my own, and everyone has opinions.
Its not my place to judge you in what you think, and I'm sorry for if I've acted immature, but I think that my opinion, though it may be different, should be respected in the same sense. I never once attacked anyone I just said I disagree SOMETIMES, and thats when it was okay to point the finger directly at me because I thought different. I honestly appologize if I've made you feel offended but you have to realize, I wasnt being rude, I said I dont agree totally, and it got blew out of proportion.
We all are different, have different views. We can argue this until we're blue in the face, or I can just say now I'm sorry that my views offend you, but I try as much as possible to put myself in other peoples shoes as hard as it may be. Just realize, I was not judging until it got put on me, and thats wrong, I cant be one to judge either, becuase thats really no ones place, and I usually try not to judge as much as possible. I'm sorry if I offended by saying I dont agree totally, which still means there are a lot of cases in point that yes, the issue of achild being obsessed with weight can do with their mother or relatives, BUT its not ALWAYS the case. I can see how it would be inovertantly a mothers fault..A LOT of people here count calories. A LOT. A child sees this and, guess what, kids want to be just like mommy. She doesnt understand all of what its about, but she knows its to get "healthier" but what does she see? Her mother getting "thinner". It doesnt mean you sat there and told your child, hey you should count calories too! They just see you do it and think i want to be grown up like mommy. Now yeah, thast inovertantly the mothers fault. AND I can GUARANTEE...there are cases where its from friends at school, or glimpsing at a magazine while mommies putting groceries on the belt, and she can read and see SKINNY CELEBRITIES! Skinny Brittany! Skinny Lohan, blah blah blah! So you all make it seem like well, they must be telling them this. Well no, A LOT of us here count calories and would NEVER want our kids to be like that...even if you EXPLAIN it to them, what do they understand out of all of it?...AND what they SEE mostly us getting THINNER. I'm not putting the blame all on society NO, why would I ever place it all in one place, which seems likea theme on this forum. I just dont see it as simple as a math equation like 2+2=1. I think its more like geometry and using postulates and theorems that are different, can come to the same conclusion.
I shouldnt judge you, as well as you shouldnt judge me. I want it to be known to everyone, not just you, if I offended you that yes, I'm honestly sorry, but I dont take my opinions back, as I'm sure you dont either.

) EVERYONE was having sex, (I didnt until AFTER high school) and lastly...there was one friend that my aunt could not stand simply because she lived in what's called "the Jungles"...this girl was as innocent as I was (she had had sex but that was all) yet the girl she loved to death who lived in "Ladera" was as wild as they came!
