I'm pretty sure that standardized tests play a negligable role in the makeup of cliques.

You're probably right.

That's right, we already know who the fellow travelers are as soon as we see what clothes they are wearing.

The standardized tests are only icing on the cake.

Woman Locked 5 Kids in Closet, 2 Died

Quote:

A Somali woman charged in the deaths of two of her children allegedly locked them and three siblings inside a small closet and left to visit a friend, returning about 10 hours later to find the boy and girl dead inside.

An Indianapolis police report released Tuesday said Edyan Farah, 28, told officers she "was not in her right mind" when she allegedly put her five children in an upstairs closet about 6 a.m. Sunday and placed a large bed in front of the door so they couldn't get out.

Police said the closet was about 6 feet long and 18 inches deep.

Farah found her 5-year-old daughter, Zuhur, and 3-year-old son, Zakariya, "stiff and unresponsive" when she returned home about 10 1/2 hours later and opened the closet, the report said. She told officers she then carried them downstairs, but did not call the emergency dispatcher or try to revive them, according to the report.

Minimum sentence:

Internment for life in the loony bin.

And, please, forget where you put the key.

Hahahaha...I read that as "internet for life in the looney bin" and was wondering where I could sign up.

But yeah, sad story.

We need specific tests before procreation: are you schizophrenic? No kids for you. Do you have any skills besides spreading your legs? No? No kids for you. Do you think locking kids in closets is an appropriate punishment? Yes? No kids for you.

classicman · 09-23-2010, 07:43 AM

yup - how bout the same she did to her kids ...

Wasn't it Einstein that would have never been born if we did that?

ETA - maybe it wasn't

Link to a few others though.

Nealy impossible to enforce unless you wish to live in a totalitarian society.

What we need is to enforce real punishment for this type of behavior.

This summer, in France, a man 'forgot' his baby in the backseat of his car for over 4 hours right under the sun.

Results : One dead baby (dehydration)
Sentence : 3 years in prison (suspended sentence)

And he is not the only one...

Now, you have people who are demanding that cars remind you that you have a young one back there.

Go buy a brain, you morons !

In most cases we don't punish anymore - we try to rehabilitate

No rehabilitation, because all these people hear is that they are non responsible.

What is needed is a strong deterrent.

classicman · 09-23-2010, 09:56 AM

I thought punishment had been proven not to be a deterrent.

GunMaster357 · 09-23-2010, 10:08 AM

Once, I heard a judge give his personnal opinion on the matter of punishment. His solution was quite radical:

1st infraction/crime/whatever : free
2nd time : you're dead

And yes, punishment is not a deterrent when you have psychologists trying to rehabilitate prisoners by telling them, it's not your fault, it's the society. And then try to free them before the did their time.

classicman · 09-23-2010, 10:19 AM

Love that Judge - we need more of them.

Nothing is anyone's fault. Didn't you get the memo?

GunMaster357 · 09-23-2010, 05:48 PM

I got that memo, I also got the one saying that when a guy is try to rob me I have to bend over and hand him the KY jelly...

All these ended up in the dumpster along with the last thief...
