I’m the Absolute Fucking Worst, so I would make direct eye contact with the parents and join in on the shrieking contest (I’m a 26-year-old fat woman with much lung power).

Oh I have a story too. Couple of days ago there was a kid maybe 4 or 5 in a major grocery store. Mommy dearest was pushing a cart full and little Huntermasonson ( the hunter is silent) was running around and kicking people in the shins. He seemed particually entranced by an elderly gentleman who was shopping solo. The…

“As is the way of his people!” This is my new favorite phrase!

I have a toddler and kids running in restaurants just take my breath away with fear. My kid is small and hard to see, has the physical grace of a mid-blackout drunk, and has no concept of her own mortality. On the rare occasions we’re in restaurants I’m overcome by visions of her crashing into a server and bringing a…

I agree that sometimes cutting the meal short and bolting is the way to go. I’ve done it a few times with my kid. That being said, FUCK ANYONE who shoots your daggers after 2 minutes, especially if you’re attempting to pay the bill and get your shit/leave. You shouldnt have to put your baby in a car alone in order…

Once I and another staff member watched a 2-3 year old boy wander over and start pulling the slips from the books on hold, as is the way of his people.

Okay, but this is a Samsung.

It’s a way of feeling they have power over them. It’s on the family tree of rape, not sex.

Seriously, I don’t care if the kids are actually suffering from brainwashing/parental alienation syndrome or not, the way she spoke to them and treated them was flat-out unacceptable no matter what. She cannot say she was acting in their best interests while simultaneously verbally abusing them and for all intents and…

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…

Correction - Putin is horrifying.

this is a very clear copy (with one extra kid added) of the symbol used here in France by the Manif Pour Tous, the opponents of gay marriage, adoption and reproductive access.

Neo Nazi reminds me of the Isle of Man flag (itself kind of absurd)

My father was *real* invested in seeing me after my parents divorce. Went through lots of hoops. Only problem was that he had been sexually abusing me for most of my life and really just wanted to continue having access.

Fuck “appearances” and hoop jumping. That’s no indication of a parents worthiness of love and…

There’s actually a comment in one of the original articles somewhere that said the father could choose to fight the sentences but chose not to.

Here is an article where the dad gives an interview and never says “Get my kids out of there!”

This is making me feel physically ill; it’s so distressingly wrong.

A-#)*&%$-men! What LUNATIC holds the kids responsible, and IGNORES the child’s statement of “my father is violent”, and FORCES him to see said father!?

saying the father had “jumped through hoops” to have a relationship with his children.

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

Dafuq? That the “father” is allowing his children to be imprisoned is the only proof I need that he is not worthy of the name. I’ve heard of some really bad decisions being made by some really bad judges but this may be among the absolute worst.
