^^I was going to post that story, just wasn't sure where to post it. That is the hottest piece of mess ever.

The foster care system....
 

I've been working as a Foster Care Coordinator for about 2 months now...all I can say is sooooo many people are in it for the money....it varies from agency to agency but on average foster parents can make up from between 1400 to 2000 per month per child if the child is therapeutic (which means they have behavioral or emotional problems) in addition to this the kids get Medicaid for their health care, some recieve SSI, (which the fosters get), and agencies like my own pay for any extras for the kids like dance, eye glasses, birthday parties, etc.....so if you do the math fosters with several children can be making ALOT of money....THey may not all like me but I am hard on my foster parents.....I mean you telling me you didn't have gas money to take your foster child to an therapy appointment is not ok because you're making like 1800 per month for that child...especially if the child is in DSS custody because then DSS may pay the family additional room and board....don't get me wrong there are many families that are foster fams to help kids who need it, and these kids often have no one, but some people see it as the lastest hustle...

if you are interested in becoming a foster parent it can be a very uplifting experience knowing you're helping a child unable to help themself..the children's stories would REALLY break your heart:(

Sadly, before I read the Pennsylvania part, I seriously thought this story was going to be about my step-sister-in-law. Her son ended up in the hospital because he broke his front tooth, and she never got it fixed, and since her kids drink Mt. Dew and eat candy from 6am-9pm his tooth was starting to rot...:mad: :mad: You can't make this stuff up.

(Thank you StarFish106):D

(LMAO about you thinking it was your step-sister-in-law) Seriously, children are a 25/8 job. Yes, 25/8 because it's so much work you somehow add another day and hour to do it right! Anyway, I really think that people should have permits to bring children into the world. It's sad when you have to have a permit to fish or hunt, but any fools with the right "tools" can go and make a baby. :(

My plan is to steralize people at birth, and then make them take a class, test, and get a license to be un-steralized. Not conservative much, am I?;)

Wow.... The sad thing is that makes more sense than letting some irresponsible fools make their 8th or 9th baby before the courts get involved and tell a mother, "No more babies for you." (That was somewhere on GC before, probably this thread.)

That tooth story is disgusting, and the mother needs to be wopped (not whooped) upside her head. He's not going to get all of his teeth...? I hope Karma is really a b**** to the Mom when she gets old.

To lighten up the mood...

Conn. Hospital Has Biggest Baby

NORWICH, Conn. (AP) -- Oh baby! Marie Michel's fifth child was one for the record books. Michel gave birth to a 14-pound, 13-ounce boy Tuesday at William W. Backus Hospital.

Backus officials said the newborn — Stephon Hendrix Louis-Jean — broke the 18-year record for the biggest baby ever born at the hospital by 1 pound, 13 ounces. He was nearly 23 inches long.

"He's built like a linebacker," said Dr. David Kalla, who delivered the baby by Caesarean section.

After nine months of carrying Stephon, 36-year-old Michel said she was more tired and happy to have given birth than all the attention her baby was receiving.

"I was miserable," Michel said. "I couldn't sleep at night. My 13-year-old son had to help me get in and out bed."

The baby's size came as no surprise to his mom. Michel's oldest son weighed 9 pounds at birth, her 8-year-old twin sons each weighed 8 1/2 pounds and her youngest son, age 3, was nearly 12 pounds.

Michel's husband, Vijens Louis-Jean, a truck driver, was coming from Florida to see his son.

Less than 24 hours old, the baby was fitting into clothes for a 6-month-old and was too big for newborn diapers.

"I have baby clothes but I don't think they will be able to fit," Michel said. "I think I will have to return them."

Her blood sugar levels must have been out of control for that baby to get so fat! That's not only dangerous for the mother, it's dangerous for the baby as well. WOW

See, this is why I had C-sections. ;) (of course they were medically necessary, however if I had to push the size of a watermelon out of me.....:eek: ) He is a beautiful baby.

Father kills daughter after she unplugged his X-Box

:eek: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :(

PHILADELPHIA -- A 25-year-old North Philadelphia man has been charged with killing his young daughter.

The mother said 17-month-old Alayiah was violently punched by Tyrone Spellman over a video game.

"My baby is gone at the hands of her father," Mia Turman said tearfully. "I have to put her in the ground, I shouldn't have to do this."


As the 21-year-old took a nap inside their row-home on the 1500 block of 29th Street, Turman left Alayiah in the care of Spellman, who also goes by the name Anwar Salahuddin.

Turman said that when she woke, "I asked why my baby not breathing. He says, 'She's breathing.' Her eyes were closed."

Turman phoned police around noon. Medics responded and took Alayiah to Temple University Hospital, where the little girl was pronounced dead at 12:37 p.m.

Police arrested Spellman, who lives on the 1500 block of North 29th Street, over the weekend.

He was charged with murder, endangering the welfare of a child and possessing an instrument of crime.

A medical examiner performed an autopsy on the child.

WTF!!! A dayum X-box!!??? Ima have to take a breath for a minute......
And what kind of job does he have? Is it that dayum important to play Madden 2006???!!! Lawd....I'm just through..

Eight-months pregnant with another baby girl, Turman was struggling with how to cope. She said she fell in love with a man who had never been violent before, and she wanted to know what would possess someone to kill a child.


"You can't give me a good enough answer to say why you would kill your baby," Turman said.


The couple's second baby will be born with her dad charged with killing the sister she never met.


"I do not understand this. I will never understand this," Turman said.

NBC 10 reporter Deanna Durante said a note on the door of the North Philadelphia row-home Monday night said not to judge Spellman because he would never hurt a child.

Baby Dies After Falling in Mother's Vomit
AP
NEW YORK (Sept. 22) - A 3-month-old infant fell off a bed into a bucket of her teenage mother's vomit and died, said police, who charged the woman with negligent homicide on Thursday.

Savarin Dejesus, 18, had left the child with a baby sitter at an East Harlem group home where she lived to go out partying Sept. 15, police said.

When she returned, Dejesus vomited in the bucket next to the bed where she fell asleep with her daughter, Niah Ford, in her arms, police said.

The infant later tumbled into the bucket and apparently drowned, police said. Dejesus didn't discover what had happened to her baby until the next afternoon.

The girl was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

Dejesus also was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. She was in police custody late Thursday.

A woman who answered the telephone at Dejesus' group home, the Fox House, declined to comment on the baby's death.
