OH THE NERVE!

I don't know if anybody has heard about this,but I wanted to post it and see what could be possibly going through some dipshit's mind to be stupid enough to do this.
In a town close by me (Lindale Texas) a police officer had to go on a trip to Austin which is about 5 or so hours away from Lindale.He was going for a police related meeting/class.The thing is...the dumbass forgot and left with the other officers,leaving his 4 month old baby in his truck with the windows rolled up. 8 WHOLE damn hours later it occured to him.So he calls the police dept. and tells them to go smash out his windows and get the baby out.Well,after 8 hours and over 100 degree weather,the baby was pronounced dead!!
HOW?WHY? That has just shaken me up through and through! How can you forget your 4 month old baby like that? I'm having a hard time figuring that out.
Do people actually sympathize with his situation? Or is it just ME that is so flat ass angry at the idiot.How can he be given a badge to protect our streets,and yet do something THAT irresponsible? It just is beyond me.

Yesterday I came across something somewhat simular. It was only in the 70, heading to low 80s. The windows were cracked open probably 6 inches and these were dogs but I could not help but wonder what the people where thinking.

I am sure they were fine but you know it is going to get warm in there. Now they will not die like that poor child did but still I found this bothering me. It breaks my heart when I hear these stories about other pets and especially kids that are left in the car like that.

IT MAKES YOUR WONDER HOW ANYONE CAN GO AND LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENED...GOING OUT TO PARTY WITH FRIENDS THEN A HOUSE CATCHES ON FIRE AND YOUR CHILD IS THERE ALONG WITH OTHER CHILDREN AND NO ADULT.

Dumb ass?
I have more than just a few choice words to say but this is your blog but dumb ass isn’t one of them.
Lets take away the fact that he is a COP.
This is HIS kid.
What was he doing with it in the car when he went to meet his buddies?
Should it not have been with its mother.
Sounds funny to me right there alone and where was the mother and why didn’t she call him about the baby?
In this world of cell phones I bet he had one and or his buddies must have.
That baby BAKED IN THE FUCKEN CAR like a roast 8 Hours.
EIGHT!!!!
That’s not a parent.
I want to know if they put him in jail because sure as hell if one of us done it we would be screwed.
The poor kid never had a chance.
Castrate the bastard from having any more.
I bet he remembered his wallet
Sorry about my one indescretion

Have a nice day

Oh my God.

What the fuck is wrong with some people these days??

Tamara said...

Amen to ALL of the above!
That broke my heart and infuriates me to no end.And oh H*** YESSS! It would have taken any normal person 10 minutes to an hour to realize that their billfold was gone....but a precious lil baby!?Only a mental case would do something so irresponsible.
I've harped enough,I know.
But DAMMIT TO HELL!! They BETTER treat him the same as any common Joe Blow off the street or I'm quite sure the whole community is gona have their say in the matter.
Ohhh,and to top it all off!! There has been NO...I mean NOOO mention of the mother!
And I have a correction.He left his truck,took a patrol car and went to Canton(not Austin)...here is a short video of the news report.There is a long advertisement first and then it starts over w/ the report.Hid fucking bond is only $25,000.The fucking nerve!!
Pardon my anger,but it just blows my damn mind folks!

Tamara said...

Scuse' the mispells...when I get angry,I think I type 10,000 words a minute w/ no spellcheck.Hope u can decipher.(apologies)

Tamara said...

Correction...."HIS FUCKING BOND IS A MERE $25,000".(not hid)...my fingers start typeing 90 miles an hour in ager....and I would imagine trying to figure out what my point is sometimes is a bit aggrivating.I've even read over some of my emails I type really fast and have to put the breaks on and try and figure out what in the hell I was typeing.Sad.So sad.I'm not the best typist and certainly don't have a degree in it,if there is such a thing(laughing)...but good grief.Sometimes I look back on my handywork and wonder what the whole sentence said.KNOWING I can spell each word,but hitting the wrong keys is a royal bitch.
But the worste part is when I'm tryping in ALL CAPS.andwhen I snap out of it I realize I am shouting at someone (in caps of course) and have to start over where the HUGE caps begin?
Or how about typing endlessly,completely spilling the beans heart and soul and then LOSING THE M.F'er?Nothing unerves me the worste.
Anyways,this should qualify for a mad ranting type POST,instead of a mere comment.
But who made the rules here??
Ahhhh! I DID,cuz guess what? It's been MY freakin blog since 2002.So yyakkety-yakkkk!!!THERE I SAID IT.
I just would like to do something on a post that isn't so sour leaving the bad taste in your mouth,cuz I don't swallow...OOPS,where in the hell did that cum from?
Well,time to beat it while I got the chane(no pun intended)...I see you snickering Lisa!!

barman said...

Hey you are just getting it all out in one post. Good on you. Maybe it is not your fingers making the mistakes but the keyboard instead since it can not keep up with you. LOL

tl said...

This kind of behaviour seems to be on the increase.
Must be owing to not having to be responsible for your own actions anymore.
Just blame it on someone else, like the government or your job.
Make them pay, and pay and pay!!!

Lisa said...

Um...I'm gonna have to do a thorough check of my house for secret cameras I think....how did you KNOW I was snickering then?? lol

Some people shouldn't be parents...and what's more, the ones that stuff up SO incredibly badly to the point of death (the thought of that baby at 4 mths makes me want to weep), should not be in charge of keeping the rest of us 'safe'.

I'm bloody curious to know where the hell the mother was though? Not that I'm blaming her for what's happened...just want to know where she was at and how come he was taking the baby to work and blah blah blah...I want more info on this.

Lisa said...

I watched the video. How devastating. But like one of the women in the video said (as you have yourself) How can you forget one of the most important things in your life is in the back seat? The whole things is very difficult to fathom.

I think it's important to separate willfully neglectful parents (the ones you read about leaving very little kids home alone while they go out shopping, partying, etc.) from otherwise good parents who get distracted and make 1 fatal mistake.

I heard about a similar case in Georgia a few years back. Mom always took the kid to day care. One day, there was a change of plans, Dad ended up with the kid. Something distracted him, and instead of dropping the kid off at the day care, he drove to work (just like he always did), parked the car (just like he always did), and went inside (just like he did every day!). Hours later, he hears that the police are investigating a case of a baby abandoned in a vehicle at the office parking lot. Even then, he didn't think something was wrong, because he knew his kid was at day care where his wife had dropped him off, just like she did every day. He even got to talking to a co-worker, and that's exactly what he said..."Thank God nothing like that could happen to my kid!" Imagine his shock to find that his infant son had been dead for hours!

I'm not saying the same thing happened to this cop, but I noticed that going to Austin wasn't his usual routine. That's when people often screw up...there's a change in their routine and they overlook something. Usually, it's nothing important. Once in a blue moon, it's something very important.

The thing with wallets, is that you can remember your wallet thousands of times, and if you forget it once, usually nothing happens. If anything does, usually you get embarrassed when you go to pay for something, or maybe you get a ticket and have to go to court to prove that you're a licensed driver. But you forget a kid one time, and he's dead. Nobody knows or cares about the hundreds of times you buckled him in his carseat, or the hundreds of times you took something that he could choke on away from him, or the dozens of times he started to crawl toward something dangerous and you stopped him. Instead, they all remember the one time you forgot that the "other parent" wasn't taking care of him...'cause that's what makes the headlines.

Tamara said...

I don't know sweety.As a mom,and I am sure as a Dad as well....your 1st priority ,even while driving down the road is to keep glimpsing over at your baby to make sure he/she is OK.Whether the seat belt is still in tact,to just simply making sure blankets or whatever or not obstructing the babies breathing.My FIRST priority...EVEN when I had my drug runs and screwed my life up,I let my 2 daughters stay w/ my mom or dad where I knew that they would make them FIRST priority above EVERYTHING else.Routine or no routine hun,I would have to know at all times of the day and night where my child was at...and watch for ANYTHING that could possibly happen,so I would quite naturally keep looking their way to make sure everything was OK with breathing,nothing gets in their mouths to choke on.And more ESPECIALLY,from point A to B,I would swerve sometimes looking and making sure my 3-4 month old was OK.As they get older...if they got too quite...oh shit! Something wasn't right usually.But for heavans sake!! 4 months old?? Any parent knows you have to keep a MAJOR check on them anywhere you go in the car.So did he not even realize that he needed to take a look over or in the backseat at the baby to ensure that there was no problem w/ the seatbelt etc...?
So THAT'S where I get confused.It's NOT like a toy you throw in the truck and don't look over to see if it's hit the floor or rolled over in the seat.We're talking about a baby.
I respect your thoughts,and I see your point....because I go through some motions like a zombie some days,because I've done it so many times,I could do certain things in my sleep.Like showering,applying makeup,fixxing my hair...it's like...same ol same ol...so you sometimes go thru the motions,and don't differ from one day to the next.
But a baby is PRIORITY #1,and has to be looked after everey few minutes or seconds sometimes.So HOW can someone just go thru the motions,as obviously the baby was put in the truck and not looked over to be checked on during the trip from home to where he left the truck.
BASTARD!

Karen said...

He's beyond an idiot!! That poor baby!!! I think he deserves to go through the same thing to see what the baby went through. Grr.

Le laquet said...

He/She needs stringing up on the nearest tree - pillock!

Tamara said...

Karen*I feel the same way.Life in prison is too good for him,so is the death penalty.He should have to suffer the same horrible way the poor baby had to suffer.
So should the animal that just admitted to killing Jon Benet Ramsey!! Killing him by lethal injection would be too good for that sorry son of a bitch.

Tamara said...

Le laquet*What a surprise.I feel honored that you popped in.I love your site/the way you think.I stalk your blog.lol...so when I seen your name,I had to smile...even though the subject here sux,I'm glad to see you thought to click on me this morning.Glad to hear from you anyways!!Coooolness.
Have a nice day!

oceanbug said...

horrible!! wow...
I don't know how anyone could forget about their baby! I hope he get procecuted, punished!

Mar said...

It is a horrible thing but we had a similar case two years ago in Spain, the father forgot (he forgot!) he had his baby in the car to be taken to the daycare center. In the summertime. Nobody noticed the baby in the car either. How sad, and it makes me very angry too, can't understand.

And I meant hello blondie to Chez, lol!

Katya Coldheart said...

no he's an idiot, that kind of thing makes me cry, who forgets a baby...!!! i hope hes prosecuted, but i'm sure he's suffering anyway with the guilt

Tamara said...

Mar* OMG...How absolutely VAIN of me to think that you were talking about me instead of Chez when you mentioned blonde!So your a blonde too Chez?Anyways (sorry bout that)..but my curiousity made me click on over to your blog,btw.So in the process I found another cool link.So it's all good.
Yea,it happens all over the place and it's sad.When I start to think how bad the Dad must feel,I can't help but switch my mind immediately over to the baby gasping for a breathe,and I get mad,and lose the sympathy for that man entirely.
The last woman I heard about,that left her baby in the car at the mall,and of course the baby died...SHE got prison time!
But around this neck of the wood,the cops are considered "good ol' boys",and I'd bet he gets found innocent or just a few years probation.If THAT happens shit will surely hit the fan!

Raggedy said...

The same thing happened here. I could not believe it. Everyone here is still in shock over it. A Mother put her baby in the car and drove off to work. She FORGOT to drop the baby at day care. She spent 8 hours at work and drove to the day care. The day care was confused because she never dropped her off. Then the woman ran to her car and the baby was still in the back. Same deal 100 degree heat. The baby was dead.

Thanks for stopping at my place. I will add you too!

Hugs

Mar said...

back to tell you I was at chez laquet and read the comments again, now I understand your question, lol! it was cute, though! misspellings happen, you know...

Lord Genocyde said...

Believe one thing. I know that was about the biggest and most stupid thing that that guy has ever done. It's still better for us to mourn the loss of a potential doctor, attorney (one of the good ones), someone...anyone who might have made a difference than for us to hate him.

I know that's hard. While I try not to hate anyone, some people in this world make it so easy to do. Still, I'm sure that if this hadn't happened, none of us would have any anger toward him.

I don't like that it's happened. I don't like that an innocent child suffered and, yes, I'd probably deck the living shit outta that guy for what he didn't do. I say that because he didn't check on the child. Hey, I never said it was right, I'm just saying I'd have decked him. The role of minister never denotes the behavior of a saint. Tammi, you know more than anyone I'm definitely no saint.

It's a bad situation for everyone involved, just remember that. Had I been walking by, I'd have smashed that guy's windows. Let 'em jail me if they like but at least that baby would have lived, one way or the other. Besides, should they have attempted to jail me on vandalism, they would find out something I know...they wouldn't find me sitting in that cell when they got back.

Tamara said...

D.J.*--You confuse me sometimes...purposely you ....you....you.....swine.lol

Yea,Mr.That may be clueless to others....but after a minute it occured to me what u were referring to! You scoundrel!(gigggle)
Furthermore,a human life is a human life.Whether that life was a doctor,preacher,attorney,or a tiny baby.That life was snuffed out.So use your extra ace in the hole and go beat the shit out of him...know what I mean jelly bean?
luv ya,
T.

Lord Genocyde said...

That's just it, though, isn't it? Why should we? He's doing a fine job of that himself, isn't he? He's going to lose his wife over this, his job, his reputation...everything.

You're absolutely right about the human life aspect. Doesn't matter that it may have been someone that mattered that may have given us a better tomorrow but the possibility thereof will never be realized. His fault and he knows it.

I still say that those who passed by that truck on that day are just as responsible. If the child had been overheard then someone should have done something. I know I would have.

FlatGreg said...

I tend to believe that given the right circumstances, everyone is capable of doing horrible things, this incident included. This doesn't make it forgiveable, but I think if things played out a certain way to each of us its possible we'd have done the same thing. That said, I don't have any kids, so maybe the brain of a parent (should) work a little differently.

Raggedy said...

It happened again in Minnesota this time.. grrrrrrrrrrrr
She was 3 yrs old.
The Mother ran a day care of all things...
She had not seen her 3 year old daughter for awhile..People were searching all over for her...Apparantly the child opened the door to her Moms car and climbed in to play a game..No one knows why she could not get out. No ones knows if she fell asleep. The girl died. It was a 100 degree day outside.
I do not always lock my cars, I will now...Sad Sad Sad...
Hugsssssss

Katya Coldheart said...

Katya Coldheart said...

Brighton said...

Sick, and sad. Aren't they the ones always telling us to not leave our children in the car??
My guess is they were at the bar...

Denny Shane said...

I never can understand how people do this... I really don't.
