This is tragic. But everyone saying to get help for these people should read the article. The father of the kids was trying to get custody and kept filing with the court that he was concerned for the kids’ well being. CPS was notified. The dad had custody one day every two weeks. That is also on our social services system. |
Trump was supposed to return to power tomorrow. Its the full moon for the QAnon nuts. |
I would have panicked immediately too. Especially because he apparently didn’t take the younger child’s car seat with them. My husband would never take the kids somewhere without telling me (and let’s be honest he’d never take them somewhere alone without me unless it was a necessity.) |
I'm surprised by all the people blaming the mom here. It's like when when a women gets raped or abused and people ask her what she was wearing or what she did to aggravate the abuser. Or targeting learning and behavior programs at the women who are being affected by abuse/rape rather than at the men who are causing it. It's the men who are causing the problem and the men who should be treated and studied and blamed. Let's put the blame where it really belongs.
(Of course we can have support programs for the women who are victimized, but let's not forget that it's the perpetrator of the violence and abuse that has caused the problem and deserves the blame.) How much further would we be as a society if in addition to education about domestic violence and the cycles of violence for victims of abuse, there were actual programs for people at risk of committing domestic violence that were part of our every day life? Programs about how to deescalate your feelings of anger and control your behavior? Instead of just teaching women about exactly which point in a cycle of violence is the best one to try to escape your abuser? |
Like, it's our own fault for teaching about rape and domestic violence as somehow being women's issues! They are really primarily men's issues! But somehow they get minimized in our culture as a female concern. That's actually the whole problem! |
I don't know who the bigger nuts are, the QAnon people or the people who think QAnon poses a real threat. |
No he is a Trumper Qanon person. He said he knew it was wrong. |
No he was not insane. He knew it was wrong. He was tricked by the right wing. |
I agree that no trump supporters should raise kids. |
Well, there’s now at least 5 kids murdered by their parents because they believed this QAnon gibberish promoted by Republican elites. It’s a threat, in the same way Islamic jihad is a threat. It thrives on stochastic terror. |
Don't you have to wait 24 hours though? Isn't that what the cops will tell you? Especially when it's the other parent? |
I wonder whether he will ever be sufficiently medicated to understand what he did.
I know someone it happened to (she'd had postpartum psychosis); she committed suicide in jail. |
Even more mindblowing is that there are MULTIPLE extremist groups tied to multiple murders being espoused by the mainstream Republican party. |
Plus multiple bombings or attempted bombings, shootings and attempted shootings... |
So you think the attack on the Capitol on Jan 6 was no big deal? |
