What is wrong with people today? (child neglect)

What????

I work very hard at a Children's Hospital. This weekend I volunteered to be on call for transports, so have to stay home on my weekend off and wait for calls.

Would you like me to not go and pick up some sick/dying child so whatever they have can run its course?

Or not take care of the 2 year old who came into ER after being abused by his father. His father pushed a bottle of Old Spice up his rectum because the little boy was playing with it without permission!!!

You need to re-read Darwin. I am one person who is here to try to save and protect children. And god bless all my colleagues and people in child care.

I know you're upset. Please, though, you might want to put a warning before your third paragraph. It's very disturbing and I wish I hadn't read it.

I know your upset so I put a warning. But this IS reality. As bad as this story is I could tell you a thousand more. You don't HAVE to be an abusive parent, you MAKE that choice.

Everytime I complain about seeing something like that my husband declares "Darwins theory of evolution".

3 year old not in a car seat Dh says "thinning of the heard"

little kids playing on a busy street unsupervised in a bad area "survival of the fittest" (he means smartest)

Men have no mother instinct, sadly neither do some mothers.....

My first thought at seeing a child put in danger would not be "thinning of the herd." And how does maternal instinct come into play here?

Your husband has a point. Think about this: all this protection of "the children" over the past few decades has led to those children growing up, reproducing and becoming the kinds of parents that are now being complained about.

Through good intentions (the road to which Hell is paved) we've contaminated our gene pool.

Maybe if we had allowed Darwin's Theory of Evolution to run it's course, there wouldn't be so many defective parents out there.

I've been trying to find some evidence of logic in this post to no avail. You really believe this makes sense?

The children shouldn't be the ones who are being "thinned out" by Darwinism. It's the fools who did them wrong and caused them the social ineptitude that need to be weeded out, so that more socially responsible people can introduce them to a better society (without those who neglected and thus failed them before).

The children are unable to control what they are taught, that's why it's the parent's job to teach them social responsibility and norms, and to be sure to take care of them and responsibility for them.

I know.
