Last chapter of Piers Anthony's Isle of Man, anyone?

(I searched for this article and didn't see it posted anywhere, sorry if I missed it)

She also told them she had previously lost custody of four children because of drug addiction.

This, right here, should have been a big fat warning sign to the mother.

Yes, but odds are she had no way of knowing. If only there was some sort of way of branding a person so anyone could see. You know, like the scarlet letter. "WARNING: this woman is a dumb druggie piece of shit and will kill your child! Avoid at all costs!"

Oh, it's a joke.
Sorry, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt It'd be an innocent enough mistake to make.

I almost fault the mom as much as the accused in this story. How unbelievably stupid do you have to be to leave your kid with people like this?

...Again, I seriously doubt that she knew anything like that about them. Some people, amazingly, can be horrible monsters without you ever knowing it. Look what neighbors are always saying about pedophiles: "I just don't understand it, he was the nicest guy!"

First off, it says right in the article that the mother had known this woman since she was 8 years old, so the mother WOULD at least know about the sitter losing her kids to drug addiction. I also find it really hard to believe that you can know a person for that long and have no clue that they're capable of killing a child by dehydration.

Second, even assuming that the mother didn't know anything about the sitter, that really doesn't change a goddamn thing. You don't just leave your fucking kid with someone that you DON'T KNOW for a whole damn week.

It wasn't as if she dropped her kid off just to have some time away from him, she was very sick. I'm assuming she didn't have money for the hospital, and that's why. It's just good she kept the daughter with her to care for, or likely she'd be dead as well.

It's sad that it takes actual murder for something to be done long-term about the sister.

Just a personal thing, perhaps, but I have cared for my kids while running a high temperature, while they were sick, AND while I had to go to work on top of all that.

You gotta work through the pain.
