Finalists : Parents Of The Year

Published by Ron at 11:14 am under Ron's Rambling

If you ever start feeling that you’re being a “bad parent”, take a look at this fine couple:

A Glendale couple said they couldn’t afford a baby sitter, so they strapped their 14-month-old son in his stroller at home while the couple went out. [The couple] were ordered to stand trial Thursday on charges they neglected baby Gabriel so badly that his body was covered with diaper rash, his body temperature was 12 degrees below normal and he stopped breathing, requiring 21 minutes of CPR to revive him. Police said the couple admitted to leaving the boy home alone because they wanted to party.

Think it can’t get any worse? Read on!

The couple recently got jobs at Pizza Hut and the couple used the money for drinking parties. Police said Anderson told them that she often left Gabriel strapped in his stroller when the couple went out or to work, and that she changed Gabriel’s diaper once per day. Police said Laputka told them that he didn’t do diapers, that was Anderson’s job.

    All I was thinking was: “We finally got our Pizza Hut dream jobs! Let’s celebrate!”

    I think Keanu Reeves said it best in the movie Parenthood:

    “You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car – hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they’ll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.”

    That has to be one of the best movie quotes.
