posted by Matt on 11:12 AM July 12th, 2005
News So, they actually charged her? Good to see it. Of course if she had been a he, there would have been no delay in the charges, would there have been?

In the article, she was schlepping the kids to her ex-husband for visitation. What odds will you give that someone tries to blame her ex? It won't be hard to predict:
Not enough child support (the car was rented, but she chose not to rent the next larger car)...
How dare he have the visitation order enforced--what kind of ogre even expects that?
Why didn't he take time off work to accompany the kids on a plane?
Why didn't he charter or arrange a flight for them?
He abuses the kids, so she has to drive them and watch.


Did I miss any?

That's what I was thinking. They'll probably find some way of blameing Mr Shookmyer. (or however you spell it.)
After this little stunt I wonder how much of a chance there is that the kids will be taken from the mother and given to the father.
Sounds like she shouldn't have had custody in the first place.
But since when has that stopped the family courts from giving custody to the mother even when she is shown un-fit?
No. No bias in OUR court system, is there?

  Thundercloud.

Don't bet the rent money on that...

Isn't that the truth. She demonstarted that she considers it appropriate to lock kids in the trunk because she didn't want to spend what $10-$30 per day for the next larger-sized car. Moreover, the article mentioned an infant who wasn't her ex's. Is this one being supported by the father or welfare?

Never to my knowledge--even when the kids get mutilated or molested by her new stud.
?No. No bias in OUR court system, is there?No more than the media. Notice the tone of all articles is to invoke sympathy.

And of course the fact that it was girls (and not boys) who got locked in the trunk has nothing to do with charges being brought...

I was just about to make that point, Tirryb.

Yeah, I didn't even think about that.
If the kids had been boys, the mom probably would have gotten a WARNING ticket or something.
