What a weird photo. It looks as if the flames of her insanity are engulfing her.

No shit. I thought the picture strange, too. Morbid has all of these cool tools to work on pictures, I thought it was one of his touches. Maybe its just a crappy photo of crap.

… I refuse to hit my child when he misbehaves. I just can’t imagine trying to teach my child that violence solves nothing, but at the same time using violence myself to control him. /blockquote>

I’ve noticed that mother animals lightly cuff or even bite their babies to discipline them. It seems more a matter of reinforcing the message than causing physical pain. I’ve observed that toddlers seem to react to the shame of a little smack (and I do mean little) than any hurt. It’s as if their picture of themselves as “big people” gets a reality check and they are reminded who the parent is.

I’ve met a lot of very bratty, forward kids who “reason” and “argue” a point quite brilliantly until they wear Mommy down and get exactly what they want. They’ve been taught that everything is explained in detail and questions encouraged until THEY are satisfied with the reasons. Well, they learn to game this system and never be satisfied until they win through verbal endurance. A smack or two might be needed here. On the other hand, perhaps they will grow up to be wealthy lawyers!

So, I don’t know what’s best. It probably depends on the child. This woman was insane and I wonder why she wasn’t in a hospital.

Solange, I totally respect your decision, but you have to realize there is a difference between discipline and abuse. This was a 2 year old and this was definitely abuse. There is a difference between spanking a child on the butt and beating him until he is unconscious. Anti-spanking people should not use these type of cases to support their decisions.

She has been talking to Me, and I have come to the conclusion that she makes Britney Spears look sane.

LMAO

Maybe she’s got custody because the child’s parents are stark raving loco. Y’ever think of that?

According to this article http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080215/BREAKINGNEWS/80215052/-1/archives

“Matthews said Justin’s parents are divorcing and the father, Joseph Woods, has custody. His mother was watching the boy while he worked.”

Interesting that the dad has custody. That doesn’t happen often.

Hermaphrodites, the KKK and Chaka-Kahn had something to do with this? I should have guessed…

The usual suspects ….

The grandmother is charged with aggravated battery and child abuse. She is still in jail where she is probably talking to Jesus and swatting at imaginary demons.

By George, I think you’re onto something….

Homo Erectus! Clues – Buy Me One! Sanjayaclan!

I’m actually finding the Trinity Of Insane Declarations to be kinda fun and stress relieving. Smacking a baby up, not so much, but maybe she’s onto something with the preachin’ part.

And no doubt you’re right. I’ll see what i can dig up.

Crazy bitch. Who leaves their child with a woman who’s babbling about the KKK?

Exactly. In an instance like this the patrents should be charged with child endangerment. When I looked at the photo and video of this woman, the first impression I had was that of looking at an angry, cornered wild animal. All kinds of scary, that one is. There is no way she could hide that she’s crazy and that anyone would leave a small child with this nutbar is inexplicable.

Crazy bitch. Who leaves their child with a woman who’s babbling about the KKK? I hope that baby’s mama has a Myspace so we can find her and ridicule her at length. Because one does not go from perfectly normal to “Homo Morphodites” and baby-beating in the course of a morning.

However, she did make a short statement to reporters (in the video). “Hamorephadites. Klu Klux Klan Charlaklan,” she states.
