Carlton Anderson was indicted with four counts of child abuse after he left several of his kids home alone and two twins were spotted wandering around on the freeway. The twins were picked up safely by the police which then led them to their house where police found more siblings home alone. The house was a mess, children were wearing dirty diapers, and there were broken beer bottles everywhere. The dad was no where to be seen. Around 8am he finally shows up and explains to officers that he went to pick up their mother from a bar but she refused to leave so he went drinking with a friend. That’s some responsible parenting there. wow.

This story really stuck in my crawl. A 15 year old mother tried to kill her infant while allegedly throwing the baby out of a moving taxi cab. A nearby store owner witnessed the whole thing. The baby was wrapped with a towel and covered in blood. Luckily the baby survived. What a horrible mother. Who would let a 15 year old take care of a baby when she herself is still a kid. I’m sure there were signs that she wasn’t fit to be a mother. Someone who tries to kill their child should be showing some signs of distress or unhappiness. Let’s just say, she ruined the rest of her life but luckily this story had a happy ending and the baby survived. The 15 year old could be charged with infanticide. (Never heard of that charge until now)

In an article by Times Online in Britain, parenting has become the main focus on creating a disastrous life plan for children growing up.

“So what went wrong - why did you drop out of school?” I asked. “My parents were just liberal about schools,” he said. “They never made me go.”

This has been a trend unfortunately on the rise. Parents just aren’t there to provide support and a proper environment. That in effect has changed the morals of families and they no longer value working hard or self praise. Its a non stop circular cycle. Children often learn best from their parents. When they grow up they essentially do not know how to be just that, parents.
