Hahahaha...I read that as "internet for life in the looney bin" and was wondering where I could sign up.

But yeah, sad story.

We need specific tests before procreation: are you schizophrenic? No kids for you. Do you have any skills besides spreading your legs? No? No kids for you. Do you think locking kids in closets is an appropriate punishment? Yes? No kids for you.

Nealy impossible to enforce unless you wish to live in a totalitarian society.

What we need is to enforce real punishment for this type of behavior.


This summer, in France, a man 'forgot' his baby in the backseat of his car for over 4 hours right under the sun.

Results : One dead baby (dehydration)
Sentence : 3 years in prison (suspended sentence)

And he is not the only one...

Now, you have people who are demanding that cars remind you that you have a young one back there.

Go buy a brain, you morons !

In most cases we don't punish anymore - we try to rehabilitate

No rehabilitation, because all these people hear is that they are non responsible.

What is needed is a strong deterrent.
