Source: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/26/us/politics/26text-edwards.html Need I say a single word? By the way thanks God there are countries that children are taken away from unsuitable mothers ... .
I don't much care for Edwards, but how about not trying to twist shit. IMO you just made yourself look very dishonest
Thanks GRIM, I am just wondering by "you" you meant me? If that's true how on earth I could have made myself look dishonest? I am neither the mother nor the candidate....
You as in YOU. YOU put the 'child abuser' crap and everything else while taking a snippet out of context to make it look like this mother is a druggie and abusing her child, when in fact the point was she is POOR! Sickening
I never said she is using drugs. She is already confessing of abusing her child why should I add to it? She is so more guilty that need me to guiltify her but I am going to try to delete that part. Being poor is not an excuse, she confesses that help is available... In fact her problem is being poor. If she wasn't poor she wouldn't abuse her children unless she is mad.
You talked about drugs and shit, but now the post is 'edited' She does not talk about abusing her child, she does not have the money. So now being poor is 'abuse' you've got some sick thinking..
The only 'abuse' going on from the story you butchered is her not having the money to pay for both rent and heat. You have got some serious issues IMHO..
I never said she was using drugs and as you see I edited it in respect to what you said. She is far more guilty that I allow any distraction for it. If she is not abusing her children why she fears that they may take them from her? - I never said being poor is abusing -
You went on a rant about drugs, alcohol, etc, etc, etc. Please tell me you are not this dense. Because she CAN NOT afford HEAT, it's in black and white!
She cannot afford the heat, right? So we both admit that this mother cannot afford heat in the cold weather. Now if we agree on first part now I go the second part: Mother confirms that help is available, right?
What help? Taking her kids away? Yeah that's real 'help' I see you're not claiming 'child abuse' anymore, or is that not the case?
If you give me sometime we will see if this is abuse or not. So you say that no real 'help' is available. So why do they take people's children from them? Are they mad? Are they running a child smuggle institue? If they are not going to provide a better life for the children then why are they doing this?
Thank you for making the point for everyone. There is so much real child abuse that the OP should be ashamed for the false impression he tries to make.
The woman puts mental and physical safty of her children in danger by not providing neccessary means. She confesses that she intentionary refuses to inform the authority. She confesses that she is aware that the condition of her children is so bad that the authority would take the children away from here. She herself gives the evidence, she says she is poor - ie she confesses that she cannot provide for the children even if she wants -. What else do you need? Can a child have a good education when their home is cold? How about other needs? She says she is poor, how can a poor provide other hundreds of need of a child. Will he/she be healthy when he/she grows up? Would you like to live in the same condition? I call this abuse. - considering that helps is available and the woman confesses that she was aware of it. She is not living is a shitting bang bang country.- Remember the candidate is aware that this woman at least breaks the law. - I still say abuses her children -. .
Being poor is not abuse! Appears to me the mother is trying her best to care for her children. Ripping away children from their parents is abuse IMHO.
What law did she break? Do you think the government should take children from parents who can't afford heat but otherwise care for their children? How many days without heat before you think the government should take the kids . . . 3 days. . . 5 days. . . . 30 days?
She hides the information from the authority, she confesses that she knows that they would take her children if they know what was going on in their home. She confesses that the condition of her children so miserable that the authority would find her unsuitable. She can prevent damage to her children but she refuses to do that.
