Here at Gawker Media we call that a copy editor.

I think it’s more: buy the coffee shop, sell off all but one espresso machine, cut staff to one per shift and demand they work off the clock to clean and prep, limit supplies to the minimum used per day, then whine and bitch and complain about how lazy employees are when the shop closes, file for bankruptcy, and sail…

There is no “hit or miss”. There is “hit or forcible catheterization”. I’m going to be such a good parent someday.

Really? I thought it was buying the coffee shop and running it into the ground.

I guess he was... friendly about it?
*puts on shades*

It’s like Stephan curated BCO

I was trying to explain to my English husband about what Friendly’s was- basically a place with rocking grilled cheese sandwiches and ALL THE ICE CREAM YOU COULD EVER WANT in a variety of forms. LOVE Friendly’s.

This post... this post, ... it had EVERYTHING!!!!

That is so true in this case. There are so many other options before forcibly seperating the kids from their mother and each other. They are not even allowed to see each other. Talking about punishment.

Absolutely! If there was some sort of reason to suppose the mother to be an unfit parent, hidden away in those files she refers to, then that might justify taking the kids away form their mother, but it would never justify treating the children like THEY are the ones who did something wrong! Her treatment of the…

Is she fucking the father? That's the only theory I can come up with for why this vile moron seems more concerned about the father getting what he wants instead of what's best for the kids. Judges like her are evil. That sounds hyperbolic but until you've dealt with a judge or a police officer or any person with…

No matter how you look at this story, the children are the victims here.

Who brought that piece of nonsense out of the grays because...damn.

Plus! Plus! If you read through the actual transcript, all three of these kids seem incredibly brave and willing to stand up to the judge (WHO IS SUCH A FUCKING BULLY IT’S UNREAL) and to their dad, who is just standing there, not doing shit. At one point, after the 15-year-old is taken away, the 9- and 10-year-olds…

I’m a family law attorney, and my office has been up in arms about this all week.

Now we’re incarcerating children because of their parents’ behavior? WTF is this world that I am living in?

You know what doesn't show character? Or class, for that matter? Calling someone "retarded". Throwing hissy fits. Also, your post here. Ain't no one going to listen to anything coming out of your mouth now. Cheers!

i read your first line and didn't read the rest because you're a fucking asshole.
