Ryan Johnston wrote: She was in jail for 8 days already? I think that is more than sufficient punishment for her neglect (especially since the burns only turned out to be first degree burns). I still think it was stupid for her to have had her kids (at such a young age) without sun screen There is NO law requiring the use of sunscreen. Possibly she could not even afford sunscreen - we don't know the circumstances. I live in Texas and don't use the stuff. The point is, or the point should be, when did it become aginst the law to be stupid. I am sure that the larger part of the population and more than a few from this forum would be incarcerated if this was true. If I were her I would have an attorney sueing the bejabbers out of the country bumkin cop and anyone else involved. Ryan Johnston wrote: I sure did. I grew up in a desert. I got plenty of sun burns growing up. And did your mother go to jail ? I doubt it. I am just fed up to the gills with this Zero Tolerance crapola and wannabe district attorneys and self serving cops that think a gun and a badge make them arbitrators of justice. Hell if they had any sense they would be in another occupation anyway. :) Richard Between believing a thing and thinking you know is only a small step and quickly taken.

That's right, and why is it a crime to leave your kids locked up in closed car on a hot day. Richard Stringer wrote: I live in Texas and don't use the stuff. Great point. Your being stupid and hurting yourself. She's being stupid and hurting her kids who don't know better and can't do anything about it.

I'm stupid and the constitution gives me the right to be stupid and make you pay for it.

It wasn't that bad, it was more along the lines of having all children neutered at birth using a temporary method (i.e. can be reversed if they ever want to have children). Easily the vast majority of babies are not planed, so this would not only help the 'parents' but also cut down on the number of children who should not be here (ones that are not wanted and are never loved completely) who usually end up entering into society from the wrong end and with a twisted perspective. Win-win for everyone. Shog9 wrote: Fair 'nuff !! David is being pathetic pedantic alert !! The ' in 'nuff is indicating a missing character, the 'e', so do you spell enough enuff?
