It turns out my comment is tragically statistically true. From the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention: "A precipitous 27.7-percent rise in the overall child homicide rate occurred from 2019 to 2020, according to Trends in Homicide Rates for US Children Aged 0 to 17 Years, 1999 to 2020, a report published by JAMA Pediatrics in December 2022...The child homicide rate decreased by 5.6 percent annually between 2007 and 2013 but increased by 4.3 percent each year since then." *Why is no one talking about this?*

@meleshenko3767

10 ай бұрын

“why is no one talking about this?” Because ppl don’t want to know that it’s happening bc we have devalued our own children. We did this when we decided their lives aren’t even lives until we SAY they are. When we turned our faces away while they were slaughtered because they were small and couldn’t speak up. When our own convenience became more important than our babies. When we chose a lie over the obvious truth that in-utero babies are as alive as their mothers. Now we turn our faces away from the stats bc we don’t want to acknowledge our part - our part in throwing live babies in trash cans, leaving children in hot cars, pedophilia, sexual trafficking of children. What amazes me more than the trend - is the willful ignorance, the refusal to look at it squarely without politics and agendas. We gave up defending children along time ago, and now we are watching the snowballing consequences of our culture’s willful evil.

It looks to me like women with vulnerable kids become very vulnerable themselves when new relationships develop with unstable men. Respite and career support systems need upgrading. Lives will be saved! Single parents with vulnerable children need compassion and support. More can be done to support others - we can all imagine how hard things are for Rita and Cristina.

Totally agree. Im not defending what this lady did, it’s awful! However I can imagine looking after a special needs child is very difficult where support and carers respite is very much needed to help both individuals. At the end of the day, its a tragedy. But like you said, when it comes to carers - weather a person is looking after a child with disabilities or an elderly parent say with dementia, one can experience carergiver burnout/ fatigue. Its very common.

I don't know what was going on with this mother and I'm certainly not excusing what she did, but I have to wonder if burnout played a role in this. Her daughter was so severely disabled that she could not do anything for herself. Imagine being a single, working mother to a newborn _for the rest of your life._ It's intolerable, but parents are guilted into thinking they are bad people if they choose to put a disabled child into a facility. If this child had been in a facility, she would still be alive.

Did you see her kissing the mouth off her boyfriend while the kid was in the car? Are you projecting? This woman was not a single mother focusing her love on her child and work to get by lol

There are millions of us with special needs children. Burnout is real but we ask for help or we put ourselves in time out in the bathroom for a good 5 minute cry. We don't use meth and we don't murder our children. There is no excuse for the neglect and eventual murder of this child. What's even worse is that the child's mind is perfectly fine, the body just doesn't work in cp. That poor baby heard and understood everything that was happening to her and she was helpless to ask for help from anyone.

This lady is so giddy to tell her story. Kinda cringe

It's just being nervous in court, it's normal and not uncommon

Why does this woman laugh? What is so funny?

Because the defense couldn't put a hole in her story so they tried to attack her character. She's smiling because of how ridiculous the line of questioning is.

She's nervous. But it looks bad to laugh when you are accusing someone of murder. She should have controlled herself more for that end part. It comes across as spiteful.

@@fulanichild3138 Doesn't mean she can't be nervous just because she isn't the one being accused. You're in front of a crowd and everyones eyes are on you. Some folks cope with it like her, with a chuckle here and there.

Not a credible witness to me, she sounds vengeful.

So I guess you side with a child murderer then . You sound unintelligent.

Satan himself wouldn’t put a baby in a hot car to die slowly.

Not only would he but God obviously didn't care enough to rescue the child. Remember - Jesus didn't say he STOPPED little sparrows from falling - just that he watched!

@@sslaytor I’m not sure what side you’re in here… ur making fun of the bible bashers who claim that god will help you through anything if you just believe, right? It’s stupid that ppl actually think this rubbish. I mean if god really could save the girl but chose not to then hes not “all good and loving” like they claim and why would you worship someone so cruel? The alternative is that there is no god there to save anyone. So either you have a sadistic, cruel god who should be condemned not followed or else there just is no god to follow anyway.

I would not believe anything from this woman. She destroyed their places, kids, boyfriend, didn’t pay rent

Maybe they often had her sit in the car because she made loud noises? And then they didn't realize how hot it would get in the car, so strange.

She was just a child, children are noisy. To my knowledge, those “noises” were her way of trying communicate because she couldn’t in the ways that we can or they were involuntary and she couldn’t help it. Pathetic excuses.
