*SIGH*
Just so everyone knows, the baby was really ok. But they are gonna fry Angie’s arse. They are saying 6 years if she’s lucky, 23 if she’s not lucky. So my MIL is filing to adopt the baby. Don’t know what is going to happen to the other kids not mentioned here. That’s kind of disturbing to me. No one is talking abou Angie’s other kids.
Angie is Sir Megabyte’s apparently dimmer than we thought cousin.
I hope that this doesn’t look bad on Sir Megabyte for his background check for work. *SIGH*

oh honey, that is horrible. i, too, wonder about the other children. children in an environment like that just makes me sad. i didn’t have it that bad growing up, but pretty darn close. i hope those kiddies end up getting taken care of well. :((
your sir probably has nothing to worry about at all. this is horrific, but it doesn’t reflect on him at all.

Why is everyone worried about the baby? But only the baby? There are other children!! No one seems worried about them at all!

Re: I don’t understand
pertaining to what you said: the baby being in the room, and sick from fumes is horrifying. if the other children were brought up in the news, then it is doubtless relatives, officials would be queried about how fit of a mother she was. the community sometimes rallies like that, when it’s possible the situation may have been long standing. i am not casting any aspersions upon her, i just have more sympathy for the children. *sigh* i’m sorry that you have such cause for concern, and i truly hope some darned good things happens to those bebes. *hug*
i know, i instantaneously (since i was aware there *are* other children) wondered what their ages were, and at what stage of coping they were in.. i dunno, i was forced, as child, to almost consistently be in an unsafe environment. i spent a LOT of time running away.

Re: I don’t understand
Let’s see if I can remember the kids… I have a hard time because I swear she was like Bang pregnant and Bang pregnant and Bang pregnant…
I want to say the oldest is Austin and he would be 6 or 7… He’s not as old as Caramon who is 7.5. I *think* Caramon was close to one when he was born… So maybe they are something like sixish, fourish, twoish… This is going to sound really bad but we tend to shy away from that side of the family. I mean we never suspected THIS… but we just don’t like the other stuff that goes on.
Don’t feel bad about if you might be “casting aspersions”… This is not surprising. She started drinking in high school and smoking. She tramped around. Things just did not improve… She’s a nice girl… but not too bright. It is like she figured “Well I live here in the back end of no where so I may as well act like it.” But like, her parents got divorced and her father started dating his step sister. (Now they were like 10 years apart in age or something and so he didn’t even live with her because he was grown when their parents got married…something like that. So it is NOT near as perverse as it sounds… but the kids FREAKED)
I hope all goes well… I just wonder why no one is talking about them. I don’t know if their father is taking custody or what. But this poor guy is on the birth certificate as the father of the little one and he is not. They were seperated when Levi was born. Angie “claims” that she was told that she was “legally bound” to put her husband down as father even though he was not. The baby’s father was there for crying out loud when Levi was born. Sheesh. So the husband is being ordered to pay child support poor guy.

i have lived my wild times
and pretty much by choice (be it mine or God’s) i did not have kids. i truly love them, and would enjoy one. but to grow it into a decent human being who is happy to be alive? i’m not/haven’t been ready for that. my mom had me young, so i sort of learned the hard way what it’s like to have children before you can afford them (in more ways than one).
in that situation, i always hope foster care is available, if noone in the family is able. *sigh*

Re: i have lived my wild times
I”m hoping for good things. I feel bad though because my MIL had her oldest at 16. She’s now 50. She deserves a break. She’s got an almost 19 year old pregnant daughter. So she only just barely got her out of the house. But at the same time she got married and now has a 12 year old step daughter. So she’s in for another 6 years there… She deserves a farking break.
I wish one of the siblings would take in their nephew. Heck my husband’s older sister would probably try to adopt Levi since her and her second husband cannot have any. So they only have the one from her previous marriage. But since the husband has cancer and Lord only knows what is going to happen… they just are not in a position at ALL to help out. (Plus they are in TX seeking a miracle)
