Today in awesome parenting, Juliette Dunn of Bridgeport, Conn., was arrested after making her 4-year-old son chug a 40-ounce of Steel Reserve beer at a playground, and subsequently calling him an alcoholic. WHOA.
A social worker questioned the boy, who said that his mom gives him a bottle of beer everyday, and that his favorite brews are Natty Ice and Budweiser.
Oh, and this is great too: Dunn’s 10-month-old baby tested positive for cocaine. This is going to turn out so well for everyone involved! [CT Post via Gawker]

Well, that’s just sad.

One of the reasons I don’t want to have kids of my own. There are so many kids already out there that need decent parents.
guest
Are they related to Kesha?
guest
Jesus Christ.
guest
Wow.
guest
Ugh. That’s just screwed up.

Horrible. Hopefully they take the kids permanently. I hate it when they give the mother chance after chance when it is clear she doesn’t have the desire to change.

those babies deserve better
i hope they are taken from her and a much better home is found for them, with parents who actually know what it means to love children. this sort of thing sickens me, makes me wish i could do something…she is poisoning her kids. i think she should be banned from reproducing, or have every child of hers immediately removed upon birth, so it can be given to one of the many families who deserve kids but can’t have them and are stuck waiting on adoption lists.
guest
She’s complete trash.
guest
This is why some people should not be allowed to have children.

That is so awful. Those poor kids.
guest
I feel sorry for the poor kid’s liver.
guest
CT is the ugly step child of the New England states. In RI we just smoke weed with our kids – much safer.
guest
Oh my god – why do people like this even have children in the first place?!!
guest
is this end of the world?

That’s messed up…
guest
LOL at least if he’s drinking beer, why is he drinking Natty Ice…? Ew.
guest
@MassiveVortex@xanga - Exactly!
Her crime is her poor taste in beer.
guest
@LoBornlytesThoughtPalace@xanga - LOL
guest
Ugh it is so sad that any irresponsible piece of shit can have children.

And this is why I stay the effff away from Bridgeport.

How did that child even like the taste of beer? I’m 20, and hate it! >.< You know how you have to go through years of college to get a certain job? I think adults who want to be parents should have to PROVE they’re capable of taking care of a child. I mean really, people who want to adopt go through hell just to get a child, but anyone can give birth to one…. This is so sad.
guest
hoping these ppl die off soon…

She forces her own son to drink alcohol and then has the nerve to call him an alcoholic?
This is why I want to be a foster parent someday. So many crappy parents, so many hurting children.
guest
She needs life. Ke$ha relatives maybe?
guest
Those poor children… This woman should be shot.
guest
Did someone make a Natty Ice joke already? Dammit.
Awful situation in general…I wonder what the hell she was thinking?
guest
Seen it. It’s sad when this stuff doesn’t surprise you. I blame my ongoing career in mental health.
guest
Great parenting at its finest!
guest
Oh my gosh. =’(
guest
this is why adoption is available.

I swear people should take tests before having kids.
“Is it a good idea to give your son alcohol when he’s a child?”
-Yes
ERR. NO.
guest
Wooow. What the hell?
And they say you should only be given the death penalty for murder….
guest
poor kids
guest
Wow. Who does that? I feel bad for her kids.

Sounds like a case of Munchhausen by proxy. A mother purposely makes a child sick, to gain attention for herself.
guest
yup. i’d say that’s the epitome of an unfit mother.
guest
She’s a cool mom.
guest
@NicoleM - Yeah same here =\
guest
Wait, what? That’s… I don’t have the words at hand.
guest
further evidence that just because you have a kid, it doesn’t make you a parent
guest
As I said before, people should be required to take IQ tests before they’re allowed to reproduce.

Dear God,
Hello. I’m just wondering, why do you allow people like this to get pregnant, have children, and basically make any kind of important decision concerning the well being of other people? You should really do something about this, because wow, my brain is hurting from the sheer amount of STUPID.
Love, me.
guest
Holy f^*k!
guest
BEST PARENT EVAR, OMG.
guest
That lady obvious has some kind of mental issue. What kind of SANE person would do that to their child? None!
Poor child, and poor baby! This is the exact reason why some people shouldn’t be allowed to reproduce.
guest
Ugh. Sick and twisted people nowadays. *shiver* *disgusted face*
guest
In the words of my mom, “what the hell is wrong with these people?!”

@x__RainOnHerParade@xanga -
Dear You,
It’s probably because I don’t exist. Or maybe this is just another test of faith.
Love, God
P.S. Stupid is an adjective.

@DaisyChing@xanga - Dear God,
You exist enough to write me back but not to stop this bedlam? Damn. That hardly seems fair. =(
Love, me.
PS: I know stupid is an adjective, I didn’t realize I had said “stupid” instead of “stupidity” until you pointed it out. =P
guest
I could probably go off on a rant for days, there has been so much news lately about people abusing children, killing them and doing things like this, it’s unbelievable. So I’ll leave it at.. I’m utterly disgusted that people like this are even allowed to live in the free world. Children are the most innocent things in the world, I cannot, CANNOT stand the idea that people can possibly abuse them in anyway and go to sleep at night. Nauseating.
guest
This might be the worst thing I’ve heard in a long long time…
guest
@AlluringAddiction@xanga - hahaha no way, that’s Vermont!
