C'mon Jones...you can't assume they're Green Bay Packers fans just because they live in Milwaukee.

Police said Anderson told them that she often left Gabriel strapped in his stroller when the couple went out or to work, and that she changed Gabriel's diaper once per day. Police said Laputka told them that he didn't do diapers, that was Anderson's job.

Both parents pleaded not guilty Thursday, and they remain in custody in the Milwaukee County Jail on $5,000 bail each.

Can I apply for the prosecutors job in Milwaukee.
Pick me.

Please.

If it wasn't for idiots like this, this little guy wouldn't be part of my family.

Kudos to you for stepping up to the plate, man. Though I've never met you, I just gained an enormous amount of respect for you.

Even though you're a stinkin' White Sox fan!

If this wasn't about child abuse/neglect it'd almost be funny. A case study in redneckology...

In all sincerity...

Have you noticed any emotional, behavioral or learning issues with him?

I know a couple that adopted a child that has all kinds of problems because of parents' neglect.

We're considering this adoption route as well, since we used to be foster parents and are familiar with the system, but have hesitations, especially with an 8-year-old little girl of our own. It would destroy me if I brought another child into our house and something happened to her because of it.

Where do I begin.

Four of my five kids are adopted. The four all come from various forms of abuse and neglect. They all have their various issues.

The more time a kids spends in abuse, the more likely they are to live it throughout their lives. Some kids bounce back better than others. It mostly depends on what happens after they leave the abuse.

My two daughters were removed at 5 & 6. Won't go into details, but their childhood was "not fun". They have lots of social problems, which my wife and I struggle with sometimes (my wife and I were the smart kdis in school, we have a really hard time understanding NOT doing well or participating in school). The teenage years have been tough, but not impossible. Imagine as hyper version of teenage girls.

The little guy in the picture has been wonderful. We got him early enough (age 1) to where the problems kids have don't manifest themselves. He's got a temper, but it's similar to what any four year boy would have. There is something to be said for bonding with a child at a very early age. The younger, the better.

The hardest problem is my 11 year old son. He has been in and out of institutions for the better part of his life. I won't go into details, but he has had the roughest ride of them all. He will struggle with these problems the rest of his life. My wife and I are not 100% sure what we can do long term, he can be very sweet one moment and violent the next moment. We have tried all sorts of meds for him, but honestly, his problems come from the view that he can rely on no one but himself. I don't know how that's going to end.
