18. Oh, I don't buy the poverty excuse at all

Edited on Thu Jan-27-05 05:43 PM by Tacos al Carbon

First, she could afford meth ... and a TV, and a cell phone ... there is no indication whatsoever that she was particularly poor. Second, plenty of poor people manage to not be criminally negligent parents. Socket covers can be a piece of tape and some paper. Cribs that a child can't get out of or playpens can be made and/or are often given away by charities. Hell, she could have had the kid with her. Again, the poverty excuse is B.S. She was a lousy mother, poor, rich, or otherwise. I'm not blaming society or Bush or Martha Stewart or anyone else. She chose to have the child and this is all on her.
