The whole idea of buying a gold chain for a 3 year old is preposterous.I seriously doubt even Donald Trump would buy a gold chain for an infant.

I mean really,what has happened to peoples senses and priorities ?
That's the hood mentality for ya. And yet they wonder why they're poor and under achievers in life. FOH!

Maybe the godparents got it like that....who knows, we're all speculating at this point.
The only questionable move was having it out that late at night. That we can all agree on.

Ghettofabulous and Slumalicious people's only priority is to "have things" that they believe make them look good. Nothing like walking out of your roach and rat infested ghetto hole in the wall in your skin-tight white outfit, topped off with a huge blonde wig, tacky jewelry, 4 inch fingernails and the requisite Coach "C" bag.

An education? A savings bond? Do they even know what that is?? I highly doubt it.

Ever heard of Darwinism? Everybody is not going to be successful in life so no use in throwing salt on those who aren't to make urself feel better. Out of touch with reality in your case in an understatement.

It's been said that giving a gift of a gold chain of praying hands may be a cultural tradition. It's also been said that one must know their environment. And there is also consensus that hopefully, the folk who did this will be brought to justice asap!

It's okay to give a child an expensive present. Another thing to dress the poor infant up like a clown.
