Those Poor Kids
I'm totally disgusted with this crazy chick. Yet, while my opinion is validated by the majority of observers I can't help but think about the 8 kids, the first U.S. case where all 8 have survived, and that instead of being media darlings and getting showered with financial and material help, their fate is uncertain. While this mom is highly irresponsible, it's sad to think that this special batch of kids could be scattered all over the place to lead separate lives with 8 different sets of parents as a result of CPS stepping in. Probably the worst case scenario, but I'm throwing it out there for the sake of example/discussion.
I'm not a fan of kids or the backward and irresponsible heterosexuals who over-breed, but am still sad for these 8 kids who were born into a situation that's not even remotely favorable for them. That's the real tragedy here. I can see the future tabloid articles and TV stories already, following the pathetic lives of these 8 innocent kids and laying a serious dose of negative self-fulfilling prophecy on every last one of them.
