I feel like Mom of the Year ...

... in comparison to this dope.

Granted, I may yell at my child when she is not paying attention and I may get angry with her but I would never DREAM of putting her in a cage.

Can you say "mommy treats us like dogs and cats in a kennel?"

Heck, who am I kidding? I've seen kennels that treat animals like royalty.

oh my God I saw this on the evening news last night - I had to flip the channel before I started crying. How could people do that to children? If you are in over your head, just say so...better to ask for help than to abuse children. oh just thinking about it right now makes me teary-eyed - I want to go up and hug each of those kids and hold them.

B&M - Sad part of the story is that it is not unique. Last year alone in Philly, they had on the news about two families that kept their kids in cages. And that's the stories that were dubbed news worthy. Lord knows how many children exist in such situations. It breaks my heart.

katrina was a life altering event to the nth degree. It's rough on adults because they have the children who look to them for support. I, too, would love to help each of them.

VG - thank the Heavens the youngest of them probably won't be affected psychologically by it. The older ones though ... I just can't fathom what would possess a person to treat a child or anyone less than human.
