Sometimes all you want to do is scream.
And force adoptions...

I am confused how a 3 yr old managed to climb into a washer. Maybe she was playing hide and seek. My 18 month old nephews are aware of dangerous situation on their own. they cautiously take small step in uneven surface & when going up/down stairs. If 18 months old can understand safe vs. unsafe situation, wouldn't 3 year old be pro at it. again unless she was playing. My washer is not deep enough for a 3 year old

Feel bad for the family and the girl.

From her pics on FB, she obviously didn't spend much time in jail.

Some kids are cautious and some are much more daring. In the story they have it a bit normalized that they would help with laundry so she was up there sometimes pulling laundry out. I didn't have a huge washer but both my kids could have fit at age 3, but they were on the small side. When the lid comes down and its switched on, the lid locks. What a horrible thing to happy to that precious child.

All and all, she looked loved and cared for in general.

It's a common phrase, no need to overanalyze it.

He came out all staticky.

Back to topic: this is one of those deaths, that to me, are so horrific that I don't have adequate words to express myself. That poor baby. The standard thing is to say "my condolences to the family" but I'm not thinking of the family.

Can you imagine being locked into a tight space, in the dark, and being scalded? Absolutely horrific.

And she disputes what the articles say about her.

She doesn't take responsibility. She doesn't seem to think she will be in trouble in the long run. She feels it was a terrible accident.

I don't know. I am a good judge of character. I think this mom leaves a lot to be desired. But I think part of this is a scape goat mission.

I could be wrong.
So we should believe everything people say on Facebook? Someone posts some nice pictures of their kids and say they adore them, and therefore there is no neglect?

Of course she doesn't take any responsibility.

She should be devastated with grief and guilt(God, what a horrific death being scaled), from you say she talks all about herself. How she doesn't take responsibility, how she won't be in trouble, she feels it was a terrible accident....SHE, SHE, SHE....how about that poor child?

I can't even imagine posting on Facebook after something like this, more like being curled up in a ball unable to function.

But in todays narcissistic all about me world, many only focus on themselves.

Let's see she is having yet another kid with this guy who she isn't married to. The reason they're not married is she can get more welfare that way.

Well you see in the United States we reward people like this with benefits and entitlements.

I know a few Canadians, and they're liberal on many issues, and like the govt. healthcare system they have.

What they all told me is they don't get why slackers are allowed to leech off the system in the United States. That doesn't fly in Canada.

This happened almost a year ago. So people spend the rest of their life curled up in a ball after losing a child

But in todays narcissistic all about me world, many only focus on themselves.

I was just sharing my impression. When first reading it I saw her as the devil and as I thought about it I realized there might be some shades of grey in there.

How do you know she is on welfare or the reason why she isn't married to her boyfriend?
