9月25日 Wednesday Rants...on FridayTraditionally, Wednesday's are rant days....but I'm sorry, these couldn't wait.
Not sure if you recall my mentioning back in August about the Yahoo that left his 3 month old baby and 2 year-old toddler in a parked SUV on one of the hottest evenings and went into a beer garden (at a local fairground).
A lady inside the beer garden overheard him mention something about having to go out and check on his kids. She reported it to the security guards (who promptly called police). The security guys followed him out to his SUV. All the windows were rolled up. When he opened up the door both little ones were crying. The police brought along paramedics. Both kids were seriously dehydrated, covered in sweat, and both had very soiled diapers.
Child abuse, child neglect....you name it, I expected them to throw the book at him.
Believe it or not...a couple of days ago the police announced that other than the fact the father used "poor judgment" he was not going to be charged !! The reasoning behind this was that they could not prove how long the children were in the vehicle.
The guy was three sheets to the wind...OK...so lets give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he was only in there for say one drink....that tells me he drove those kids in a drunken state to the fair. Could they not have charged him for driving under the influence? Of course, the argument there would be...maybe he didn't drive.
I personally think this family (who have some wealth....never mind the fact that the guy and his wife were known to police) hired some pretty darn sleazy lawyers who don't give a rat's ass about kids. When the media tried to interview the grandfather of the kids, a few days after the incident...he pretty much gave them the finger and told them to get the F*@& off his property and stop blowing things out of proportion.
Thankfully the kids are under the scrutiny of the Ministry (not sure if they are back with mom and dad...probably)....but we all know what happens to Ministry kids anyway....so I have no repect left for our justice system. Can't believe the cops and paramedics are so powerless to do anything !!
My second rant has to do with a lovely community in this province called Bountiful....a polygamous community tied to those in Utah (Warren Jeffs et. al.). It has been here for years....and for years has been under scrutiny. Finally one of our provincial gov't officials decided it was time to prosecute (polygamy is after all, illegal in our society). The Bountiful men (who are now Canadian citizens) argued that they should be left alone Under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Can you believe they actually got it thrown out of the Supreme Court ??
So, I guess its OK to leave little kids in a sweltering hot vehicle and go off drinking....and to take on as many wives and father as many children as you wish...bearing in mind that some of these wives are as young as fifteen.
Something stinks up here in our fair Province of British Columbia (being hailed by the Olympic Committee as being the "greatest place on earth"....yeah Right!!) and it ain't the dung on the fields!!
On a more positive note...a guy abused his cat...was charged and jailed. What is wrong with this picture??? You can abuse your kids, illegally marry and impregnate 15 years old....but don't you dare hurt a cat because the consequences are dire. (I'm glad they nailed the cat abuser...but what about the others !! )
Well, now that I've got all that off my chest, I can't say I feel any better.
Only two more weeks left until my mom finally gets her long awaited treatment for her back. She has done well, considering the wait.
Noah is recovering from a fever.....caused by an ear infection and possibly a urinary tract infection...thankfully one medication will cure both....other than a slight cold the little guy has been healthy up 'til now.
Mattias' lip has healed up nicely (he no longer looks like Donald Duck). The tooth has not yet come down into position...so as you can see from the picture he suddenly looks more like a five year-old who has lost his first tooth than a 2 1/2 year old.
Hannah is slowly getting over her anxiety of grade one and being at school all day.
Quinn is thriving and is attempting to roll over already. The way she is chewing on things and drooling might indicate that she is already teething.
Tomorrow my kids, grandkids and my mom (and hubby and I, of course) are going to a local restaurant for a belated birthday dinner for my daughter.
In the pictures below you will see Quinn with her little boyfriend (he is one month younger) and weighed two pounds less than Quinn at birth.
Hannah and Mattias donned their winter outfits and started making imaginary snow Angels on the floor...LOL
And a cute picture of Noah kissing a toy.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.
Goodnight and May God Bless
