As we advised the court, this crime was not a brief lapse in judgment or a single poor decision, but the intentional withholding of nutrition for several weeks from their own baby. The cries of their hungry newborn and the advice of medical professionals fell on deaf ears,” said DA Mike Keane.

Well, the left has rejected the concept of justice and have been pursuing some alternative definition for a while now, so I suppose this makes sense.

is your final answer that the baby starved because at 2 it was still only being fed breast milk and no solid food and the mom had 'no idea' the baby was in distress FOR TWO YEARS?


The baby died at 2 and a half months old.

Unbelievable. It'd be one thing if it was the "mom" or "dad" leaving the child in a car when it got to 140 degrees. This is beyond absurd. Probation for delibertately starving your child? Pathetic.

i stand corrected.

however i still argue that the mom should be able to tell the baby is in distress and get her a bottle if lack of milk was the issue.

I wonder if this was a case where the mom was adamant on nursing the baby and the baby couldn't transfer milk effectively? Postpartum hormones are so intense for the first few months and the instinct to breastfeed can be irrationally strong. This poor baby. And her mom. I wish we knew more.


You can still hate white men, Republicans and MAGA and still call out these two monsters for being horrible people and the judge is a moron. Your refusal to concede a Democrat can ever do anything wrong hurts your standing.

Obviously the baby should be alive.

I've birthed babies. I know what it's like to be postpartum with a newborn you desperately want to breastfeed but there's some issue that prevents an effective milk transfer. Moms blame themselves for being defective and try doing all sorts of things to make breastfeeding work.

I remember my first not gaining enough weight at his first couple of appointments. I was determined to make breastfeeding work and didn't want to supplement with formula because that can negatively impact milk production and of course introducing a bottle can cause tremendous issues with nursing. It's an incredibly emotional thing for women to go through after they carried a baby for 10 months and brought said baby into the world.

Considering this baby was only 10 weeks old when she died, the mom was still in the thick of fluctuating postpartum hormones. That does not excuse ignoring medical warnings or failing to feed the baby. But I do wonder whether postpartum mental illness, extreme denial, or an irrational fixation on breastfeeding affected her judgment and factored into the probation sentence. Wanting to understand how this happened is not the same as absolving her.

This is why I don't support all the conservative outrage over Trump.

We're fighting for the soul of our country, and conservatives want me to be pissy over gas prices?

We're fighting against people who murder babies, believe in trannies, want to flood the country with illegals, and want to tear down the foundations of our republic, and conservatives want me to constantly bitch about less important, temporary matters?

Conservatives want me to constantly complain about this administration even though it risks surrendering our country to the marxist/islamist alliance.

It makes no sense. Sometimes you just need to prioritize your outrage and pay attention to the bigger picture.

Every time conservatives unnecessarily complain about the administration, they are empowering the democrats. Let's destroy the evil first, then we can quibble over whose policies are the most conservative.
