when the maternal instinct fails?
i read today about two incredibly horrible mothers.
one pushed her four-year-old out of her car on a busy highway because she was mad at him. then she started to drive away. when he tried to get back in, she hit him with the car, knocking him down, and drove off.
the other was arrested for trying to keep firemen from breaking the window of her new audi after accidentally locking in her 23-month-old son. he was in the locked car for over 20 minutes and was initially unresponsive when rescued. temps apparently went as high as 118 degrees inside the car. she had called 911, but when the dispatcher told her to break the window, she refused and requested that someone be sent to help unlock the car instead. attempts to do that by the firefighters and police proved unsuccessful, so they asked permission to break the window. she refused and said she’d go home for her spare keys. while she was gone, the emergency personnel were ordered to break the window after their captain learned that the child had been locked in for more than 15 minutes. the mother was arrested upon her return.
jesus fucking christ. what is wrong with these women? just reading these stories made me cry.
update: i asked cam for something happy because those stories were so awful. he sent me two stories about foul-mouthed british parrots. bless his heart.
