His lawyer used the words "pseudo-tribal psychological voodoo" in an attempt to explain what happened? Done with this world.

Leaving implies she abandoned the kid. Letting implies she knew where the kid was, made provision for her safety(cell phone), and made a judgement call that her 9 year old daughter could be by herself in the middle of the day in a public park.

Let me fix that for you: "White on black crime has been virtually non-existent for about 40 years. However, institutionalized white on black violence has become the norm." See, it isn't a "crime" unless you are prosecuted and convicted. See also, Zimmerman, George. Also, vast portions of police "misconduct."

"White on black crime has been virtually non-existent for about 40 years."

Thanks white guy.

That's a steamy pile of something or other, and I think you know it.

I read your comment incorrectly the first time and thought you said you Febreezed your kids.

"Sleep Training" AKA "Cry It Out" is beastly, and proven to be harmful. Pretty much everything else is negotiable. No help with the food things; my five girls breastfed at least a year, never really did "baby food", started with finger food on the high chair tray.

Rapists rarely wear condoms. Asshole.

Not necessarily. A lot of married couples don't have sex as frequently as the husband would like. Sometimes work/kids/house/life get in the way.

Although someone did point out that (according to the reddit thread) they're only 26, so you may be on to something.

If this guy wanted to get really anal, he'd probably be turned down for that too.

Did I miss where it said eight hours a day? I read "several hours." She had a cell phone. It's not ideal. But the mom is poor. High ideals are easier when you have leisure and money.
