A police officer, patrolling a park late at night, witnessed a young woman and an older man coming out of a port-o-let. Both were sweating profusely, their clothes were in disarray and the officer suspected them of having sex. When he confronted the pair, they vehemently denied a sexual encounter and stated they had only been smoking crack!! He found a crack pipe and fresh residue and placed the woman (26) under arrest. The man (56) was cited for violating park curfew and was released at the scene.
Now at the same time, officers were answering a call concerning possible child abandonment. As it turns out, the above mentioned woman left her 2 year old and 6 month old baby in the care of a 17 year old homeless teenager while she went to smoke crack with a perfect stranger, in a port-a-potty... in a park... at night. When the officers arrived the teen was trying to feed the screaming and crying infant from a bottle. The teen admitted he did not know the woman, but knew the children were hers. Upon further questioning, the officers discovered the 17 year old was mentally challenged and was incapable of caring for the children. The woman also has a 4 year old son and all three children were placed in foster care after being examined at a local hospital. Child Protective Services investigators are also looking into reports that the woman may have a fourth child, a 9 year old boy.
This just makes my blood boil and reinforces what I have been preaching for years....some people should not be allowed to reproduce. If she is found guilty, I think part of her sentence should be mandatory sterilization and termination of her parental rights. She's 26, has four children, leaves the two youngest with a mentally challenged homeless kid and who knows where the other two were? The article didn't mention where the 4 year old was found.
As a single parent, I can tell you it's not an easy job. But at NO time did I ever say, "Screw it...I think I'll find a crack head, go to a park, jump in a portable toilet and smoke a pipe or two...oh and hang on...I need to find someone with the IQ of a cucumber to watch my kids. "
I only hope these poor babies find a loving home, with a family who cares about them. And the mother needs to clean her act up, because the next guy she buddies up with may have more sinister motives than getting high on crack......
