The people working there that day need to be fired. The procedures need to be checked — HOW did they fail the way they did? That's a minimum. Honestly, this NEVER happened at the day care I worked at. Never. Not once. They weren't perfect — there was one major problem that I solved...but no kid was ever left. …

I worked in day care. Any decent day care has procedures in place to make sure that doesn't happen. A nice chart on the chalkboard or whiteboard with all the kids' names in a grid. The parents sign check-out, with time, when they take the kid home and you put your initials and a nice X there, too. Everyone can see…

If it was a choice — I can't even IMAGINE that. I keep thinking it was a mistake, which is bad enough. A CHOICE? No way. I hope not. If someone CHOSE to do that — they should be fucking sterilized and never be allowed to work with anyone or anything vulnerable ever again.

Thank you!

Or maybe she works long hours at a difficult job and just fell asleep because she was exhausted? We don't know. What we DO know is there is a day care that is so poorly run that they left a kid there all alone. I worked at a day care. That NEVER would have happened if there were procedures in place? Were the kids…

Well said. I am far more horrified at the daycare than the mother. The child was WITH THE DAYCARE, not the mother. The daycare left him alone, not the mother. He was in their care and they failed. The mother not being there in no way excuses the day care. The day care needs to be investigated. If I had my kid…

Wow. I HAVE a 26 inch waist. I just do. I would never do anything to actually GET one. Fuck that shit. Well, if wearing a corset makes her happy, let her do it. There are enough women out there in high heels. I don't understand that, either.

Both men and women can wear shorts in our society without causing an uproar. Both men and women can NOT wear a skirt in this society without causing an uproar (I am talking about the Western World here). Jezebel is not trying too at all. A professional sleeveless blouse and a tanktop (aka a "wifebeater" — some find…

She wore a sleeveless blouse, every professional. I became VERY accustomed to those when working as an assistant principal in a building that had, at best, intermittent air conditioning. The shirt is totally professional (and so much less embarrassing than a blouse with huge sweat stains under the arms — and it…

No. No, no, no. There is the letter of the law and then there is the spirit of the law. There are NO professional sleeveless shirts made for men. None. There are plenty attractive, professional shirts made for women. PLENTY. And they should be able to wear them. The idea that a shirt such as the one shown in…

Sin Boner! Sin Boner! Ladies and Gentleman, not to show my age, but I think we have just discovered the name of Beavis and Butthead's new album!

Fuck your group for raking you over the coals. Tell them I said that. You just keep writing and don't listen to their negative jealousy.

Best jpeg ever. You so totally win the entire internet today!

Easy. I worked in underfunded inner-city (not rural) school districts all my teaching career. I LOVED taking on bullies. It was easy as hell. Although, I have to tell you, just this weekend I read a book about the FBI and realized some of the techniques I was using, just intuitively, were the same ones agents were…

You are awesome and don't need to waste your time arguing with idiots. Anytime a hero gets rewarded it's a good — no — a WONDERFUL thing! Anyone who would argue with that is clearly not worth your time. I am totally on your side here, dude. I think this guy is great and if people want to tell him so by making a…

You are awesomely right and I love you for seeing the truth.

Why fuck you to him? He is telling the truth about HIMSELF. He isn't talking about you. Are you angry because his family made bad decisions? Why? It couldn't have been nice for him, living with adults who did that? I don't get where your anger is coming from.

No way. NO fucking way. I write in my books. There is nothing I love more than to open a book and see stuff I wrote in high school — see who I was, what was important to me. I have whole conversations with books. And I inherited my father's books and even though he is dead — there he is, in his books. I hope…

Well said! You are right — they are NOT distracting you from the most important things in life.

THANK YOU! I have over 1000 in my tiny apartment. People are trying to get me to get rid of them. NO! I love you. Just saying.
