| That's pretty pathetic. I couldn't be the public defender assigned to that case. Poor kids, I hope they're able to recover from this awful start in life. The girl's hair was matted with cat urine?!? I don't even want to know how that happened.

| The little girl was 11 months old and 10 POUNDS!!!!!  WTF!!! Those poor, poor babies. I bet the couple wasn't too "distracted" to remember to feed themselves!

| Do what you want ..then justify it at all costs.. Doesn't surprise me at all, this kind of... "I couldn't help myself"... attitude is rampant in our society...the children pay the price & some attorney will be more than happy to indulge this kind of behavior...after all it's the parents who are the victims here....right  ....they did wrong, they had the responsibility & free will to make the right choices by their children & they failed miserably...

| I hated to read this! Ppl have lost their mind's. I have a nephew that lost a $20,000 scholarship to Texas Tech over an online game addiction. He had the highest SAT score in the history of TTU and threw it all away for a game. I think we will be seeing more things like this in the future. I pray the kids will have a full recovery. |

| I think they're just using the internet as an excuse. I'm sure they had NO PROBLEM getting up and feeding themselves. They could have made a bottle for the baby or shared their food with the older boy. I found the mom's myspace. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endID=90738735 Her blog is open for people to leave comments. She has pictures of all of her cats/kittens. She says that they're not fixed. I can't believe she let her cats pee in her baby's hair. That is nasty. I can just imagine how often the diapers got changed. I swear people should have licenses or something to have kids. |
