puss in boots? england? this family is freakin road crash from the start.
 
2006-09-06 10:15:40 AM
meth is a hell of a drug.


also

The baby's mother, 19-year-old Briana Mays, said officials told her she could not get her daughter, England, back unless she stopped living with her mother, Boots.


England?
 
2006-09-06 10:29:30 AM
At least they weren't named something stupid, like "Waders."

"I'm just taking the baby for ride, GOSH! I have to go pick up some meth, freakin' idiots!"

I'd hit it.

With MY car.
 
2006-09-06 12:35:07 PM
Yeah, but did they have to give her leprosy as well? Thats seems a bit drastic.

I'm disappointed that the "enlarge" button directs me to an image of the same size.
 
2006-09-06 12:36:08 PM
That's one baby who has the deck stacked against her. Poor little England Boots. Jesus.

I'm psychic man. I saw her man, I saw here in my MIND man!

JK, I just tried to guess what she looked like, based on the lite evidence, before looking at the picture. I wasn't that far off, man. ;)
 
2006-09-06 12:38:06 PM
Without reading the article, can I just say that this grandma is somewhere in her 20s? Late 20s?
 
2006-09-06 12:39:10 PM
No, it's England Mays. Still a stupid name for a kid. I think I'll name my firstborn Liechenstein.

As soon as I read the headline, I just knew that "grandma" would be of the early 40's variety.

So glad it was Caldwell, Idaho not Caldwell, Texas -- not that this couldn't happen in Caldwell, Texas.
 
2006-09-06 12:40:08 PM
Cops open the door. Baby falls out. Cops blame it on the driver.

Sorry, but if the kid isn't in a kid seat, you can see that through the window. Whoever the dumbass cop is who opened the door is to blame for the kid falling out.

I've lived in the area for 28 years, the Caldwell police (and the Canyon County police) on a good day are exactly like Reno 911.
 
2006-09-06 12:40:59 PM
She must have tried to name her son London but didn't spell it right. That sorta explains the grandaughter being named England.. right?

/I know not funny :P

No, the cop is not to blame. The crazy grandma is, for attempting to drive away while the door was open. And for driving without the baby in a car seat in the first place. And for being frigging crazy.
 
2006-09-06 12:42:59 PM
To be fair... she was attacked by a Pitbull in 1992... so... you know... it's all good.

I can't believe someone's actually defending this hag seriously.

Grandmother at 43.....looks like Idaho needs to learn how to close it's legs
 
2006-09-06 12:45:27 PM
WipeHandsOnPants yes clearly the cops are to blame. This woman afer all did absolutely nothing wrong.

I will perhaps accept that the cop might have prevented the fall but you cannot flat-out say that it was the cops fault. How do you know for certain he could see the kid? Maybe the kid was crouched down or something. Hell, maybe the windows were tinted (these are classy people, after all).

I'm older than most of you and I have never in my life (in two countries) had a single problem with a cop. I'm not saying that it doesn't happen but it doesn't happen often enough for all you farkers to be so anti-cop.
 
2006-09-06 12:45:46 PM
So the cop who opened the door, as opposed to the driver who then peeled out into a U-turn sending the child hurtling out ( a child who, at door opening time was on said driver's lap, and said driver rapidly placed her in the passenger seat), is at fault? Give me a break.

Where do you begin to make fun of this train wreck of a family?

Vanoxis:Grandmother at 43.....looks like Idaho needs to learn how to close it's legs

To be fair, let's say the average age for a woman to have a child is about 22. For her to be a grandmother at 43 is just about right. Granted her daughter had a baby at 19, which is a bit young by today's standards, but not that far off from the norm.
 
2006-09-06 12:56:09 PM
As a former Child Protective Servics employee, the DSS end of this is predictable and standard. But as someone tired of seeing d-baggers like John Bunnel (world's wildest police videos) totally revise the actuality of chases, I can't help but think the deputies in this story need a head check. "Hey, we know there's a baby in the car, why don't we go gangbusters and try pulling people from the car while it's still running." Good one, Fife.
And (also spoken as a CPS worker) "...I'm a good mother..." No, you're not, nor are any 18-year olds I ever met.
 
2006-09-06 12:58:03 PM
submitter and i obviously have different definitions of "goodness".
 
2006-09-06 01:00:35 PM
Poor little England Boots. Jesus.

I'm glad my parents didn't name me England Boots Jesus. That would be awkward at my Irish Catholic family gatherings.
 
2006-09-06 01:02:43 PM
Well I know what I'll be seeing in my nightmares tonight. Thanks for that.
 
2006-09-06 01:06:32 PM
Why couldn't she have just been a normal old person and driven into a farmers' market?

Yes. It's the stupid-ass cop's fault. Duh.
 
2006-09-06 01:08:41 PM
If they would of let the pit bull finish the job, none of this would of happened.

But then we would be deprived of making fun of the meth soaked skanks.

As deputies attempted to remove Boots from the car and open the passenger-side door, she put her granddaughter in the passenger seat and tried to drive away by making a U-turn, deputies said.


Yeah, totally the cops fault for attempting to stop this woman from driving off after a hit and run. They should have let her leave and hoped for the best. Of course if that had happened and she had gotten into another accident in which the child was harmed I'm sure most of the people in here would be biatching and moaning about how the cops didn't stop her when they had a chance.

What irks me is the way that Bunnel tries to say that watching the footage is somehow educational to the average veiwer.

"I want you to look at this car go airborne and crash into a gas station so that *YOU* can see what happens when you run from police"

As if anyone desperate enough to take flight would stop because of something he saw on the Spike channel.
 
2006-09-06 01:12:08 PM
Better keep an eye on her, those Boots were made for walkin'.

/so sorry

I can understand the math, but just cause you can have kids ≠ you should

If you have to rely on your Mother that appears to be a advocate of Meth and whose alma mater is the Britney Spears - Kid Driving School, maybe waiting a few years isn't such a bad idea
 
2006-09-06 01:23:39 PM
Clearly, Gma is a dumbass. Nevertheless, a cop opening the door of a moving car is not too bright.

Worse is the brilliant move of child protection. They told the mom she can not have her child unless she makes her mom (grandma) homeless. This is just stupid and illegal, like most things that child protection does. They are obligated to provide services to prevent the need for taking the child into custody. I've seen these idiots take children for not 'passing' a paper tree house test.

Kommissar

: where do you get that the average age to have a child is 22? Maybe years ago... but it certainly does not seem to be the case nowadays. I'm 22 and only know 1 person among people I know in my age group that has had a child already. I'm sure that as a former CPS employee you have seen multiple young mothers, and maybe that has made your perception a little biased, but I don't think 22 would by any means be an average.
 
2006-09-06 01:35:02 PM
That biatch looks like she fell out of the ugly tree, hitting every branch on the way down. Then the police did the beatdown with the fugly sticks.

As to blame, both grandma and the cops are to blame. The child wouldn't have fallen out in the first place had she been in the child safety seat. The cop shouldn't have opened the door to a moving car.

CPS isn't saying that the grandmother has to move out of her home, but is telling the daughter that she can't live in her mother's home if she wants her daughter back.
 
2006-09-06 01:39:59 PM
TFA is ambigous as to whose house it is. What difference does it make? Where does a government agency get off saying that someone can't have their child and live in their mom's house or vice versa?
 
2006-09-06 01:41:51 PM
correction, your right, it was the mom's home.

LOL. Have you ever seen a movie called, "Black Like Me?" Sir, you have no idea.

So you base all your opinions of present-day police on a 60's movie based on a 1959 book written from the perspective of a white person posing as a black in the deep south during the height of the civil-rights movement? Sure, that's fair.

Look, the woman was driving with the child on her lap, fled from the scene of an accident, and resisted arrest. The cops were trying to stop her from hurting herself or anyone else, including the child. When they opened the *passenger* door, she tossed the girl in the passenger seat and pulled a u-turn so fast that she actually flew out of the open door.
