Who in their right mind leaves a 10 year old girl with an infant baby regardless of the 10 year having ADHD.Yes it is very sad that a baby has lost her life but the blame cant be laid at the 10 year olds feet,does she even realise that she has done "wrong",If her condition is controlled with medication then it would be normakl for her to administer the baby "drugs" if she were crying etc.My heart really does go out to BOTH familes
god,and they have legalised cannabis in two american states with more to follow,uk going the same way with some dimwitted so called social professor advocating that drugs were not as bad as alcohol,the next week there were 5 teenagers dead from ecstasy tablets.there is a british drug mule facing death for traficing in indonesia and suing the british gov for not providing legal aid.what a cheek,waste her and all like her,thats a deterrant.Surely these stories and thousands like them show the real evil of drugs,and the only way to wipe it out is to have the death penalty for importation and dealing,there isnt a lot of abuse in the countries that impose that sentence,those governments have the welfare of their people in high regard,not like our corrupt western countries.
......"oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and attachment disorder." In other words, bad parenting.* Sorry but that's not always the case. I have brought up my grands9on since birth (13 now) and he has all of those things plus petit mal epilepsy and is bi-polar. All carefully diagnosed over many years. He's clever and bright and beautiful and medicated 3 times a day. It's hard to see him struggle with his own limitations and in social situations. His mom my daughter was a drug addict then and he is compromised because of it. Don't be to quick to judge !
The little girl needs to be in a locked facility where she will get her medicines and psych treatment as prescribed, her mother needs to be held responsible for neglect, and so does the baby's mother, who was a fool to leave her children in that situation in the first place....
“"I feel like I'm living in a nightmare right now. ... I don't know how I'm supposed to move on from this. I just wish it could have been prevented." Ok, just WOW...Seriously....that is about all I can think of. The utter stupidity of this woman's attitude has made me almost speechless....and that is really hard to do.
Afraid I have to agree with Cheesesteak. What was so important that this was the only overnight babysitter available? What a tragedy.
All the adults in this situation need investigating by authorities.
