  1. We all know the dangers of leaving children in hot cars. There are other ways to alert us to this danger, rather than publishing a story about some lowlife & her 16 year old boyfriend. Like, seriously?!

  2. Such people shouldn’t have children. I mean why would they even want them when they obviously don’t want to take care of them properly?
