This Is Child Abuse -- Digby

[Bettie]

8. She is a terrible mother

she doesn't care about her child.

Yes, I literally believe that.

I've seen it before, some very religious people see their kids as symbols of their status within their churches. If one dies, well, it means their status goes up for a while as the church gathers around them lauding their suffering and the piety with which they accept it. If the child has a long standing illness, especially with visible effects, then she's the darling of the whole church community....and yet, she can also be so cavalier about having other children.

We lost a child. Our children, even now, with the youngest 17, are treasures to us. We would never willingly endanger their lives. This woman chose to leave her children open to a disease and seems happy with the outcome.

This woman makes me sick...literally nauseated. I want to take her to a cemetery from before vaccines and show her lines of graves of multiple children from family after family.

But. it wouldn't matter because you can't fix stupid.

Yes, I'm mean. Cruel even. I can't stand the idiocy.
