Post Sixty-Nine: A disgrace

Been meaning to comment on this for a while. A couple of weeks back, I went to a hearing in a thriving metropolis (i.e., podunk nowhere town) just to the west of my metroplex. This district court had a split docket: family and civil (and probably criminal for that matter, but I didn't see any criminal cases).

What I did see was at least four cases of parents terminating their parental rights to their children. It was enough to make you sick. In three of the four instances, the case involved boys (they sure as hell weren't "men") who basically said, "I don't want to have anything to do with my son/daugther; she can have him/her." Seriously, my stomach turned. The little fuckers think they're old enough to get their dick wet, but were unwilling to face the consequences for their irresponsibility.

But the worst case was the case of the grandmother who had petitioned the court to become the sole conservator of her grandchild. Seems the parents were too busy being hooked on drugs to even see the child, much less take care of her. You know, the bad thing is that as much as the grandmother deserved kudos for taking her grandchild in, she did a hell of a job raising her own child, so just how good of job is she going to do with the grandchild?

This was completely fucked up. These irresponsible sperm-donaters should be lined up and shot. Absolute no thought to how the child is going to be affected by the abandonment of one of their parents. Fuck them. I hope they rot in hell.
