[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is everyone blaming the mom and not the dad also? It takes two to have a baby people. [/quote]

I blame the dad for also having the baby but how is he responsible for the mother’s drug problems, poor decision making, bad parenting, buying guns and leaving them around?  Huh?[/quote]

If you were co-parenting and your child's other parent had all of these issues, what would you do? Clutch your pearls and say "oh well, nothing I can do."  Of course not!  You'd be calling CPS.  You'd be seeking full custody of your child.  If the dad was MIA, that is inexcusable also.  I am so tired of society blaming women for having babies (it takes two people to make a baby) they're not prepared to care for, for blaming women when children have behavior problems (where is the dad in all of this).  I'm not in any way trying to excuse this mother's poor decision making (and that may be an under statement).  I'm simply saying she isn't the only parent responsible for a child this young having the issues this child had, but she is the only parent getting the blame here.  Ejaculate responsibly.[/quote]

The custodial parent is absolutely responsible. As women, that's why we need to be careful about casual sex and who we choose as a potential father of our children. If a custodial parent makes the decision to use and sell drugs, buy a gun illegally, not keep children safe from guns, then yes -- the parent or guardian with whom the child resides is responsible. Those of us who work in schools aren't allowed to ask questions about absent fathers, etc. The parent sitting in front of us who enrolled the child in school is indeed responsible. I will add that this school appears to be very poorly run with some ineffectual "leaders" who made an incrdibly bad decision to have a drug using parent in the classroom each day. [/quote]
