A legal drinking age...perhaps a legal parenting age needed?

Baby Dies In Hot Car; Clarksville Woman Charged - Nashville News Story - WSMV Nashville

And what is justice for this woman?

 

[tnvolsfan85]

Yeah...I saw that! She is old enough to drink but yet she is not near responsible enough or mature enough to have a child.

age has nothing to do with being a good parent

ppl like this make me sick

It may have a little to do with it(experience), but for the most part you are correct. I only set the title up that way because the woman was out drinking while letting her baby die this way. I obviously am not for government being involved in the reproductive process, that would be too Chinese of me.

 

[tnvolsfan85]

She is charged with 1st degree murder...

 

[Vol Mania 21]

my parents were 21 when they had me, they have always been very good to me and my brother. age really doesn't have anything to being a good parent

 

[tnvolsfan85]

Age really doesn't have anything to do with it. It is more or less the maturity level of people and whether or not you are ready to grow up.

Too bad letting her die in the same manner would be cruel and unusual punishment.

nothing? no relation at all?

you would have to agree that older parents tend to be more mature and have more life experience. Wouldn't that tend to make them better parents on the average?

I saw this on the news yesterday. :shakehead:

I volunteer to flip the switch.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

i volunteer to get the rope

 

[T-TownVol]

i volunteer to get the rope

I want her to fry just like her child did.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

well don't flip the switch. just make her dress up in sweat pants and a sweat shirt. lock her inside a car in this hot weather, w/ no air, and no water

 

[rpvol]

I'll pick out a good tree.

 

[Fine Vol]

Not lookin good for title town.

:blink:

 

[tnvolsfan85]

The switch and the rope is too easy. She needs to be made to suffer like she made her child suffer.

I agree, but the chair is the closest legal method to the way the child died and to send her to her maker.

 

[Vol Mania 21]

please read the first post on this page, it's by me, i think this would work

Are you confusilated?

and this is why I try to avoid absolutes

it might but there are plenty of middle-aged (or older) who are in no way more fit to have children that 15yo. Creating an arbitrary age for having children solves nothing. Plus, how the heck is it ever enforced.

Maybe it's sheer numbers but there seem to be plenty of child deaths/serious injuries that are caused by people of "legal age".

I in no way meant to imply that just because you are older means you would be a better parent, just that the on average they would be a lot less likely to make such idiotic mistakes like this one in question.
