NEWS: Happy Halloween. Wanna Hear a Scary Story?

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about Britney Spears, I mean, enough is enough for fuck's sake. Oh, wait...

Pierce it and then put a little padlock through the holes

No, I suspect it was up your way.

A quality jury like this is usually only found for celebrities in Los Angeles

This is why there should be a thorough test to become a parent!

+1 - if she isn't old enough to make an informed decision about sex, she isn't old enough to make an informed decision about piercing her genitalia either. Can't have it both ways.

What would the question be that would cover this stuff?

Q#32a) Do you think there is a possibility that you may eventually date someone that will have illegal sex with your future child? O Yes O No

Q#32b) If you answered yes, how will you deal with the situation?
O a) Call the police and have the man arrested.
O b) Stab the bastard in the nuts, then call the police and have the man arrested.
O c) Stab the bastard in the nuts, call the police and have him arrested, then get your child into therapy as soon as possible.
O d) Do nothing about the man, but shave your child's head and have his/her genitalia pierced to discourage further sexual activity.

Q#32c) If you answered anything but c, please make your way over to the poisoned kool-aid and partake.

Sounds vaguely like what Britney Spears did to HERSELF a few months back.


And people say the media has no effect on children.. Maybe it's the PARENTS we should be worried about. =/

There's a little more horrifying information here. A commenter at Lawyers, Guns and Money suggests that this might have been a case where the prosecution overreached.

No, I'd imagine a much more suitable vengeance would be for both the mom and the boyfriend to have their heads stapled to their own genitals.

Yea, that was kinda the thought I had too.

The prosecution, or the judge? From what I've read, the mother was willing to plead guilty to child abuse, and the judge didn't allow the deal. Sounds like the judge was determined it was aggravated child abuse, not regular child abuse. Due to that stance, the mother got off, because the jurors couldn't bring themselves to convict on aggravated child abuse.
Lame. I feel so bad for that kid.

What the FUCK? That is beyond a "wacko story."

that is just rediculous. what sick person would think that is the right type of punishment for a 13 year old. I'm shocked.

what the hell...

Seriously, that story just made Britney look sane.

+1

Wow. Stories like this make me think I'd be an excellent mom, at least in comparison. I mean, I could REALLY screw up a kid, and still look better than chicks like this.

That's just... I.... wow. I just don't know what to say to that.

Alternate LOL title for this thread:

PARENTING: UR DOIN IT WRONG

I want to move to another planet.

What if she had a son? Give him a prince albert?

WTF indeed.
