Lazy, mean, drunk people act in the most irresponsible way
Picture this. Location: winter in Barrow, Alaska, the most
northernmost city in the United States. Scenario: two little girls, a
1-year-old and a 3-year-old, wet their beds in the night. The room is a wee bit
stinky, so drunk Bad Boyfriend and Mean Mom (we do not know for sure if she was
there) decide to open the bedroom window even though it is 30 degrees below
freezing outside. The door is locked from the outside and the adults pass out
after polishing off two bottles of bootleg alcohol.
Now the 3-year-old is dead. The 1-year-old was treated at a
local hospital and released to relatives.
When the story was first reported by the Alaska Daily News,
it said the children were beaten, but as the investigation unraveled, it became
apparent that this was a case of extreme abuse, neglect and some seriously poor
priorities. The Mean Mom told one story. Bad Boyfriend told another story. In
the end the horrible truth of what happened emerged, and it seems like more of
the story is not being released. Like, where was Mean Mom that night? How did
she not know there was a chill in the air? She really just left for work
without checking on her children?
Charges including
manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide are being brought up against
both. Bad Boyfriend is also being charged with second-degree murder and assault
charges. He was arrested last month.
There is so much wrong here.
The children were found naked. Um, ever hear of a diaper?
Towel? Pillowcase? Anything that would have helped these poor girls to not soil
themselves so the lazy-ass “caregivers” wouldn’t have had to bother with a middle-of-the
night changing anyway. Jeez, how about some clothing at least.
But no, these kids did not even have bedding or blankets in
the room. Or a way out. The latch was” broken.” Yeah, right. By the sound of
these “parents” they probably rigged it so they could keep the kids locked in
there. A whole other issue is: Who locks kids that young in a bedroom. Kids
need supervision people. But, I am getting away from the story.
Mean Mom was a school teacher, so obviously some money was
available for clothing. A SCHOOL TEACHER? Really? You would think she would
have a bit more compassion for kids. Especially her own kids.
Bad Boyfriend’s last wife had passed on -- she claims she
feared for her safety around him – and their three kids were staying in the
house as well. I guess Mean Mom should have picked a better man.
As of this writing, Mean Mom is on the “lam” and Bad
Boyfriend is in custody. A link to a more detailed story in the Alaska Daily
News is below and below that is a link to photos of the cute little girls from dailymail.co.
