Child dies after mother puts methadone in sippy cup

plain old sad misstakes can be made but thats a hard one to swallow,,putting it in a sippy cup is reclous endangerment even before the kid got to it ,,,so sad because im sure the parents didnt meen this to happen but punishment must be abided by ,,,just so hard to take in ,as i just had a newfew born awhile ago from my bro and i couldnt pisture him dying in any way....what can you say about this sort of thing except so so sad....
 
..Ladders and space shuttles are typically not used around children
did you even see my point? at all?
This woman is a drug addict and should not be in the vicinity of small children
bluelighters should not be in the vicinity of children... that's a logical leap quite similar to the one you made.
 
This woman is a drug addict and should not be in the vicinity of small children. She is a danger to herself and others.

yeah, let's quarantine all drug addicts. There are small children everywhere, we can't have addicts in the vicinity of them, right? 8)
 
God damn yall, the woman probably put it in that cup becuz it was the only cup she had with a lid.
 
yes i saw your point. yes i am also a drug addict. a cynical one. and i dont give a shit about any of those people because i will never see them or affect their lives in any way. i think the drug user in this context was exhibiting poor judgment, whether she was in a sober state of mind or not. that is all. sorry to offend.
 
yep- callous

weather it was subconcious or not this all adds up to new girlfriend disliking step child, which is a common theme.

think of lion cubs

I have no idea how you can read the article and assume that's what it adds up to. The article gives no hint as to the state of the relationship between the three adults and child. Also- to the person on pg 1 who said "the husband's jealous girlfriend" Where exactly does it say she was jealous? Just curious because I clearly must have misread lol. I am not a mother, maybe the girlfriend isn't either. I would never ever think a two year old could get on top of a dresser (my dogs are more intelligent than the two yr olds I have experienced, and I worked in child care for quite awhile so I do have experience with them) so to me, it would seem to be a safe place for the methadone. Obviously, the mother trusted them enough to leave her child with them in the first place. Mostly though, I am completely shocked by the number of people condemning the gf to death after reading the article. It blows my mind that there are so many of you willing to execute someone off of so little information! None of us know what the gf was thinking or her state of mind. As others have said, every one of us has done something stupid enough to lead to the death of someone else, whether sober or intoxicated. Not seeing a stop sign, accidentally running a red light, being distracted by your cell phone, etc. Any one of these or a million other situations could lead to the accidental death of someone. If any of you or I am in a situation similar to this, I seriously hope people reading about it would have more compassion and maybe even just think for one minute before rushing to judgment based on an incomplete understanding of the situation. If it were me, I would pray that most of you wouldn't be my jury. Geez, try being a little more understanding, you might be surprised at what happens.
 
This woman is a drug addict and should not be in the vicinity of small children. She is a danger to herself and others. There are no two ways around that.

Wow. I don't even know where to start. As a scum of the earth, horrible junkie drug addict I must say I would be happier on an island with a bunch of other junkies than living near a judgmental fuck such as yourself. Also me, a drug addict has worked in several different day cares/preschools and never have I had a problem. Actually, the kids liked me better than most of the other teachers and the people in charge were none the wiser. Also-where did anything say she was a drug ADDICT. Hell, maybe it was her first time buying anything, probably not, but the point is we don't know, so for you to assume you do is just ridiculous.

Don't worry though-if Palin were ever to become president, I would voluntarily quarantine myself somewhere far, far away so you won't have to worry about this junkie coming in contact with anyone.
 
tulsa cuz people kill stepkids all the time & cuz it's the simplest possible explanation for having methadone in a sippy cup

btw the biological mother wasn't exactly winning awards for good parenting. She's got an previous charge for leaving a child unsupervised in a car
 
^^ You really, truly believe that the most reasonable, simplest explanation for a woman who IS NOT A MOTHER and therefore dont think like a mother, leaving drugs out where non-mother would not think that a kid could get them, in HER OWN ROOM..... is that she was purposely murdering him?

Maybe if she had did something like HAND THE CUP TO HIM, or put it on his little play table where he was playin with blocks, or put it on top of his high chair...But in HER ROOM, on her dresser? How the fuck does that make sense as the first-thing-you-think-of explanation? If she wanted to kill him then theres a million other ways she coulda got that done...instead of purposely putting it somewhere that a non-parent would never assume a child could get to...


Thats fuckin ridiculous yo. Seriously, I cant believe you sayin that shit becuz in other threads you are always on point, but that is just straight up absurd yo. The simplest explanation is that the woman was irresponsible, dont know how to act around kids, and fucked up and made a mistake.

I cant believe how many of yall just cannot get the fuck over the fact of the cup it was in. None of yall have ever took a weird dish out of the cabinet when there was no clean dishes? None of yall have ever ate your cereal out of a tupperware container meant to store food leftovers cuz there was no clean bowls? None of yall have ever put your drink in a sippy cup when you went to take it in the car cuz it was the only cup you had with a lid?

Trust me, people do that shit all the fuckin time. It aint like a child would be the only person who would ever possibly use a sippy cup, and anybody else who puts anything else not intended for a child in that cup, is a premediated murderer. Thats fuckin insane yo.

It aint just possible, but very reasonable to think that the woman used that cup BECUZ SHE NEEDED A CUP WITH A LID TO HOLD THE METHADONE IN BCUZ SHE DIDNT HAVE A SAFE CONTAINER TO PUT IT IN.....and that was the only cup with a lid that was available, so she, NOT being a mother, and NOT having the protective instincts that a mother would have, put it in the cup and put it up on her dresser in her OWN room that she did not share with the child, thinkin that would be safe.

How is "She must have intended to murder him becuz of the style of cup that the methadone was stored in" the simplest explanation? Thats the explanation that requires the MOST assumption, the most imagining shit that aint there, the most extra analyzing of it, etc. "She was careless, irresponsible and made a mistake" is the simplest explanation here.
 
To on the nod-youre a dick, dude. I'm "judgmental" and youre..enlightening? As you missed, I noted in a later post I too am a drug addict, and unlike yourself, judgmental. This woman was not a mother and she most likely did not plan for a child to find her methadone.

The fact remains that a fatal mistake like that simply shouldn't have happened. She's likely in a very similar situation to you or me, just a different environment. Why is there nowhere for that woman to use and even store methadone? Because our entire country is backwards.
 
the "crazy jump-to-conclusions-with-no-evidence" possibility is that it was a evil plot from the girlfriend to intentionally kill the kid.... the "slightly less crazy but still NO evidence to support it at all" possiblity is that the kid got dosed to sleep even tho the cup was nowhere near the kids room and was obviously not intentionally gave to him......and the "it sux becuz people are stupid and careless and thats life" and also the most likely, logical, reasonable possiblity is that it was a stupid, stupid accident and the woman wishes she could just melt into the ground ....and all the people on here talkin shit wouldnt think it was so "fair" to get accused of bein murderers if they ever ended up in the same situation thru some terrible, awful mistake, bein human and all....
