Mother Arrested for Giving Daughter Sippy Cup of Beer

Wow, how can she do this to her own child? This woman and the husband are absolutely disgusting.
QUOTE OJO CALIENTE, N.M. — State police have arrested a woman who filled her 18-month-old daughter's sippy cup with beer and gave it to her in front of undercover narcotics agents, according to court records. State police Lt. Juan Martinez said Monday that undercover agents with the Region III Narcotics Task Force were at 21-year-old Virginia Neel-Blaker's home in Ojo Caliente to buy drugs from her and her husband, James Blaker. The agents saw her give her daughter a sip of beer from a can. Then she allegedly filled up the girl's sippy cup with beer and gave it to the toddler to get her to sleep, Martinez said. "The trafficking case took a back seat to abuse of a child," Martinez said. "It was very disheartening for them to see that happening to a child." Neel-Blaker has been charged with prostitution, child abuse, distribution of marijuana and two counts of conspiracy to traffic heroin. Source 3y

Mum who stole daughter's medical donations jailed

What a sad state of affairs that a mother won't use the money to help her own daughter.
QUOTE Lyndell du Toit's denials of wrongdoing and promises of reparations ended in tears today as she began six months in jail for stealing $18,000 of public donations from a fund for her daughter's medical care. Her actions had frustrated any hope that the treatment could continue on the leg injury of her daughter Charley, who had her foot severed in a dog attack in their native South Africa. The foot was reattached but continuing treatment was needed. "I don't see any real remorse on your behalf," said Christchurch District Court Judge Jane Farish. "You are fooling yourself by thinking you have done nothing wrong." Thirty-one-year-old du Toit was in tears in the dock when she realised Judge Farish did not accept the idea - put forward by the defence - that there should be no prison term. She wept as she was prevented from going to a supporter and child in the public seats and was led away to the cells. Du Toit, a mother of three, had always claimed that she had invested the money, and there was an apartment in Britain to be sold, and the money would be available for nine-year-old Charley's treatment. In November prosecutor Tim Mackenzie said the crown did not believe her and Judge Gary MacAskill gave her until today to provide the proof or the money. She could not provide either, but her family in South Africa had provided $11,300 as reparations towards the missing money, and another organisation provided a further $400. The court heard that public donations had been sought and fundraising events held to get money for a surgeon to do a series of procedures to lengthen Charley's injured leg… Source 8t

Wow, so sad. That is one of the worst things you can do in my opinion. As the mother it is natural for her to put the child before her. This is sick. She watched her daughter struggling to walk every day knowing she spent funds designated for her rehab on herself. This isn't a violent act but it does show how selfish of a person the mother is.

Yes, and the fact that it's the mother makes it doubly so. Maybe this is sexist of me but I think the female of our species has the strongest instinct not to act this way. Women tend to be the least selfish when it comes to children. Don't get me wrong, the male of the species is very protective, but in a different way. Acting like this is so selfish it seems to be almost antithetical to being female.

There comes a point when you have to ask yourself if the world would be better off requiring people to pass a mental health and wellness test before having a child. A lot of tragedies could be prevented this way. Sure, we'd lose some aspect of personal freedom, but maybe it would prevent innocent children from being abused and killed.
