Re: How Can Parents be so Cruel?

I didn't hear about this story, but I am totally amazed that this is legal in New York. Maybe leaving them alone for a few hours, but days without food and heat. Total neglect. Those children should be taken away for their own safety and the parents should be put away. This story just disgusts me. No decent parent would ever abandon their children like that. Maybe they are druggies.

I didn't hear about the story either, but they are not parents, that is just plain awful. I am glad that someone made a call and I hope CPS takes the children away from these censored so called parents.

I read about this online yesterday. Just horrible!

I didn't see the interviews on tv, but I heard the mother was nuts and the father was justifying the fact that they were left home alone. Really???

My daughter is almost 3. I can't imagine leaving her home alone with anyone (especially a 15 year old!) for days on end. It's just disgusting!

People like this need to be behind bars.... in a jail cell ....with no blanket, no bed, and very little to eat. Sad to say, it probably wouldn't change them. Cold hearted, selfish criminals would be a better name than "parents" for such people.

Wow. Food and warmth you can easily recover. The thought of your parents leaving you with no resources is a lifetime scar. I am glad they are ok and am glad that the older kids missed school to care for the younger ones. Poor kids, at least someone cared enough to check up on them.

These are selfish a holes that never should have become parents.

Fate whispers to her, "You cannot withstand the storm." She whispers back, "I am the storm."

What was horrible is that the grandmother lived downstairs and was completely aware of what was going on. She claimed that the parents left them frequently and she didn't call the authorities because I quote....""They would get in trouble.""

Just because a person can breed doesn't mean they should....there are so many children born into dysfunctional familes.

As a child I was left alone in charge of my younger siblings more times than I can count....these types of stories happen more than you think.

They will get a slap on the wrist... probably get their children back down the road... and have more children. If the states had any power they would sterilize people like this.
