Comments on: Life For Father Who Smothers Children http://thebritgirl.com/2007/03/09/life-for-father-who-smothers-children/ The Interests of a Childfree Brit Living in Toronto Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:31:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Britgirl http://thebritgirl.com/2007/03/09/life-for-father-who-smothers-children/comment-page-1/#comment-1274 Britgirl Tue, 13 Mar 2007 02:49:48 +0000 http://thebritgirl.com/2007/03/09/life-for-father-who-smothers-children/#comment-1274 Chris - I looked at the post on Digg... have to go back and read through it, but I dug it anyway from what you said. I agreed with you too. I may not be a parent, but I am shocked at how little some people seem to care for the children they have. They seem to be expendable, just because they're "easy to have." And judging by some of the reactions on that thread, I can see why. Parents should have some kind of license - or something. Every day it seems I read of some parent doing something unbelievably neglectful to their children... and I shake my head. Yet it is the childfree who are the crazy monsters.

Just today, on the news there was a story of a 19 year old mother who killed her 18 month old, AND her 5 month old (by rolling over him...whether by vehicle or her body, it wasn't said). Suffice to say, this girl should not have had children in the first place. Chris- I agree wholeheartedly with you.

I posted a comment on Digg about something kinda related to what you said, but much harsher. <a href="http://digg.com/world_news/Official_in_S_C_Sterilize_Bad_Parents" rel="nofollow">Sterilize the bad parents, said an official in S.C.</a> I made the first comment and that sparked a nice little flame war throughout the posting. I got a lot of diggs for what I said, but a lot of people said I was harsh in agreeing. And I like what one person said about having a license to procreate. Seems silly and draconian, but he has a point. It could tie into the psych evaluation you're proposing. You know what?
