@sheilababe In most cases there are common denominators: low income, little education, and zero common sense. The poor little kids pay the price. Very sad.
@Mimi 1883, do you know for a fact that income and education correlate with what you deem is bad parenting here? I'd love some stats on that. Otherwise, it's just a broad, baseless swipe.

And how do you know it doesn't?

@sol_luna, you seem to be asking me to prove a negative. It doesn't work that way. The person who makes the statement has that burden.

I wouldn't let him take my dog for a walk, let alone a child.

Sorry but I'm really having a problem mustering up any sympathy for the parents in this situation. The grandfather with dementia? Absolutely. The baby? Absolutely. Mother/parents? No.
