You know, he actually might have been Mike Tyson.

The Tyson Zone exists for a reason, you know.

After being starved most of his life you'd think the kid would be used to not eating. What suddenly made him want to get his grub on?

your child wants a steak.

If he was well fed enough to mouth off to the cops, the mom was obviously treating him just fine. Cheeky little bugger doesn't need special treatment or nanny-stating, he's already got the art of handout-seeking down pat.

If the mom read more Fark, he'd have been locked under the stairs where he belongs.

Well now he is going to become obese later on in life, because he's going to eat as a way of "stuffing" his feelings and that void....

Jesus christ, average weight for a kid of that age is 74 pounds...

Not to worry, put him in the mid west for a while and he'll be fat as soon enough.

until I read the end of the article, I dunno. I mean, if the mother's story is true, maybe it's the dad that is the horrible one. But who knows what's true until all the facts are in and even that can be questionable.

9 kids? I called that one right.

What the fark is it with poor people and over breeding? Condoms aren't that expensive people.

Home School huh, who woulda thunkit? She's teaching him the essentials. How to misdirect the police by telling different stories, how to beg for food, you know...the basics.

I saw this on the news this morning. The Mom certainly isn't skipping any meals. The reporter also stated that the child had been living in a "shed" on a neighboring wooded lot. He went to an 83 year-old neighbors house and asked her for some food. The neighbor fed him and called the police. ITFA it states that the Mom said he was recently dropped off by the Father and has not been able to hold down food, yet the news this morning interviewed neighborhood kids who said the boy has always been skinny but when he comes to their house for dinner, he eats 3x what they do. I hope the Mother will DIAF.

I second that.
Kind of reminds me of the bum families you see around where I live sometimes. Two adults and 1 to 3 kids living out of a shopping cart... poor kids.

Sounds more like we need a Haiti tag.
 
2007-06-11 07:43:05 AM
"The officer said Auguste, who reportedly has no medical insurance, did not seek medical attention for the boy."

Sounds like we all need to pitch in for universal health care so that she would feel more free to take him to the hospital. Let me go get my wallet or maybe pull some money out of the kids' 529 to help her out.

Take the kid away, and chemically sterilize the Biatch.

Some people simply SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE KIDS.

At least this way she isnt popping out more kids to be abused or thrown into the system, which seem to be the norm in these situations.
 
2007-06-11 07:53:03 AM
This is why children should not be home schooled. School officials (as inept as they are) would have spotted this abuse long ago and intervened in some way (I hope they would anyway).

Sad nonetheless

Didnt see this before I posted......but figured as much.

A little late on the sterilization for population control.
....Maybe they can do it anyway, and keep her from having a couple more kids fall out of her, for her to abuse.


/Seem like the least fit parents always have the most kids.
//Like some sick abuse ratio of sorts.
 
2007-06-11 08:05:36 AM
She blames it on the father, but she didn't seek help for him? Ah, she was busy cooking up her tenth baby! She probably never even noticed him. The poor kid is doubly cursed.

I came from a family of six kids and my mom was an awful cook. He's lucky the others didn't eat him. Sorry mom. Isn't the lead singer for Black Crows like under 50 pounds?

Why should the child be punished for her mistake (or even her stupidity)?
 
2007-06-11 08:45:14 AM
Besides which, I believe the original poster oldcub was being sarcastic, in that s/he doesn't think universal health care is a good idea either, starving children be damned.
 
2007-06-11 08:54:27 AM
Sadly, "familes" like this are the norm in Port St. Lucie. The mothers are usually too busy trying to find the next "bad boy" to fark, and their non-existant father is down at the auto shop getting new rims for his car. If you are a loser 35 year old, you can go there and pretty much have your pick of 15 year olds to impregnate. It's that bad there.

PSL - where the stereotypes come to life.
 
2007-06-11 08:59:23 AM
No food in the whole house huh. Someone please take those kids away from her.
 
2007-06-11 08:59:28 AM

The kid got out of the situation just fine. The chances of me getting out of the mandatory health care system? Not so fine. Punish the mother, not me.

I disagree on that. I don't think home schooling should be disallowed. What I believe is that in order to home school children, the person teaching (usually parent) needs to get some kind of certification for home schooling to be legal, with occasional tests of the kids to see what they are being taught.

Otherwise, you get cases like this. Or cases like the Duggars (See clown car picture above), who teach their kids from a whackjob system that pretty much just emphasizes fundie values and how to be a missionary and prosteletize to people.

Sadly enough, a buddy of mine was telling me just last night that an eightish year old kid in his neiborhood has been asking him for food. He's been keeping a lot of fruit on hand so he has something to give him.

FTFY.

Srsly, what's with everyone always saying "cut out her uterus with a rusty spoon!" ? Y'all do know it takes two to tango, right? Even if it's a different guy every single time, which it probably isn't, there are some very worthy candidates for forced vasectomies in the child abuse stories here on Fark.

Ok, put down the feminism, step back from the thread, and it'll all be ok.

Really, come one.....

I Only said Biatch because the article is about HER.

Yeah, umm you know People is including both male and female right?
That's the reason it didnt say "Some women", or "some men" but "Some People".
Because People who should never be parents come in both male and female forms.
It thought that was pretty evident in the wording.


/Almost guarantee there's more then one dad.
//Also bet irresponsible abusive vasectomy candidates are about 3to1 to women.
///It's because of the female nurturing thing, its in the genes.
 
2007-06-11 09:44:46 AM
While I agree that generally in these kinds of messes, it's both parents that are too stupid to use birth control (and too lazy to care for the resulting children), I think special rage is reserved for the mother since they invariably seem to _want_ these kids.

Had she sent the kids to school, they would have been provided breakfast and lunch for free everyday.

" in that s/he doesn't think universal health care is a good idea either, starving children be damned."

If starving children to death is the price we have to pay to keep universal health care out of America, then it's the price we have to pay.
