What?! Well, that explains where the lack in judgement came from.

I would be furious if this were my child and the police said that nothing criminal happened.

[EloiseWeenie]

I'm no lawyer, but couldn't this be criminal negligence?

[heightsyankee]

I don't even know what to say. I am so angry for that mom. What the fuck are people thinking? What if there wasn't a camera in that laundry mat? How often would she do stupid shit like that to this other woman's child? What a skank.

Holy shit! If that were my child & I saw that video, I would be in jail for homicide.

Butbut they just thought it would be funny!!!!! They didn't mean anything by it!!!!

Edit: that wasn't directed at you, ttt. Just remembering some comments the other day when this was discussed.

I feel awful for that kid and his parents, what a scary situation or that kid to be in.

I always wonder though why one of the first things people do in situations like this is go on national television. I don't see how that makes the situation better in any way at all for this child.

This just made my morning.

I commented in a thread on one of our local news station's Facebook pages yesterday where over 95% of the people sounding off wanted the "dad" put in jail for child abuse.

I am practically doing this right now:

This happened in Camden, which means it was close enough for it to appear on my local new this morning. Even the mother said that there was nothing criminal and she doesn't think criminal charges are warranted. That doesn't mean she isn't going to sue for something, she just acknowledges that they weren't trying to hurt the kid.

Well, as long as they weren't *trying* to terrify or drown her child...
