I'd be fine with the death penalty for this guy. I don't think a person who can do something like this is capable of being rehabilitated.

Oh I could construct one. Its pretty simple as isolation is one of the worst things you can do to a human being then ladle on a lot of sensory deprivation.

People would know, they would judge her, she would be a "bad mother".

First reaction upon reading the headline: What? Omg, this poor woman, how could they charge her?

If you're afraid you're doing something that's going to get your kids taken away from you, then you should probably have your kids taken away from you.

Yeah, this is totally about shaming and not the BF being a monster or the mother being a coward.

But that woman sure chose her shitty boyfriend over her kids. All together now: "Fuck her."

As a child whose mother failed to protect her from abusive stepfathers/boyfriends, I say fuck her. Children are utterly defenseless and can't leave an abusive situation under their own power. This woman's kids didn't choose her shitty boyfriend.

When science gets their shit together and helps me get to another planet I can rule, my first policies will be free abortions for everyone that wants them, free education, free childcare and mandatory margarita Mondays.

Isn't Down Syndrome commonly paired with severe congenital heart and other vascular system conditions? I think I remember reading that something like 15% die in the first year and half by age 10.

Abortions past 20 weeks are usually only done in the event of a catastrophic pregnancy - Tay Sachs, Sirenomelia, some of the trisomy disorders, anencephaly, etc. or to save the mother. I wasn't aware there was any type of fetal test of autism?

They don't care. That's the *point* of banning abortions. They want to be able to pass that cost along to middle and lower class tax payers, but first unload as much of it on the poor women forced to carry fetuses to term. That way the mother is desperate enough to cling to shit jobs in retail and fast-food, and she'd…

There is no pre-natal testing available for autism-spectrum disorders, and they are usually not diagnosed (or diagnosable) prior to ages 2-4. Perhaps you are thinking of Down syndrome and other chromosomal disorders?

Either way, it doesn't matter. The definition of a birth defect too major to carry to term is up to…

I did this recently. Once you can see through their manipulative bullshit, it's just hurts to be around them.

Yes I had a friend like that also, gave and gave, she took and took when she took all I had to give she said I was the bad one.

I have some experience dealing with someone (not a parent) who is so willfully disconnected from reality that they just don't understaaaaaand why you're upseetttttt what did they do wronnnnng can't we talk about it? And fine, you summon your backbone and your patience and you explain it clearly and simply. And your…

Yeah......I guess when the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are ensured for every living, breathing child already in this world, I will take the time to consider the rights of criminals. And then once all the living, breathing, criminal adults have their rights ensured, I will worry about the…

To be fair, can you imagine how many random people try to get in touch with Jennifer Aniston? We don't know the whole story, and I can see how easily an email or even a voicemail could be overlooked by an assistant or something.

His wife probably wants to continue to grieve or remember her husband and the father of her children in private, without the press bugging her about it or writing articles about the love between her husband and his ex.
