Parents gave crying baby vodka
Link to original story

OK... Explain this Quote:
What we have here are two people who forced a baby to consume alcohol because they apparently were not mentally equipped to be parents. For a police investigation to not result in an arrest of these people is inexcusable. Quote:
These parents disgust me.

Gotta chuckle out of the "vodka on the rocks" statement, but in all seriousness, yeah, that's a messed up situation going on there. It's a well known fact that infants and alcohol are NOT a good mixture. These parents need the death penalty. By alcohol OD.

A whole year? What the fuck does the detectives need to investigate that takes a whole year?

Just when I thought I had heard of the most f*cked up thing imaginable...
Wow. Just wow. I sometimes can't believe people are allowed to procreate without taking some sort of class first... you don't give a baby alcohol because it's crying... hell, you don't give a baby alcohol because you might (probably will) mess up its mental development! I can hardly wait to see what the next low someone will stoop to will be...

Yeah. It was widespread in the dark ages in Europe, but I hear that it withered until the 19th century. I have to check it though. I'm still in the company so I'd rather not now. But if anyone is up to it...

Kind of like the parents I saw today while I was working night shift... they come through my checklane at 12:30 with their kid that couldn't have been older than one and a half. They were wondering why he was restless and bitchy. I about told them exactly why.

Questioning a grandma or uncle living in the home wouldn't have strung it out that much longer I don't think. This is likely another case of Florida officials dropping another ball like they did with the girl a few years back that social services didn't check up on as they should.

Ok, this is fucked up. But...bear in mind, that my grandmother used to put a teaspoon of whiskey, in an 8oz bottle of water, to help me sleep, when I wasn't feeling well. When I was older, she would give me "cough medicine", made up of whiskey, lemon juice and honey. I still use that mixture to this day, and it works far better than any over the counter cough medicine that I've tried. Am I condoning what they've done? No. Obviously they went way too far, in dosing the child. But, in so far as giving an infant alcohol being moraly reprehensible...I don't think so. It's just our modern sensibilities coming into play. Grandma knew a thing or two.

I have to agree with BOR. If I ever have kids, that teething baby that won't hush is likely to get a pinky dipped in whiskey run along their gums.
These people are just plain stupid. I wish their child didn't have to die for it, but on the bright side, they will hopefully not breed again and pass on their stupidity. I don't want the government telling us who can/can't have kids, but it wouldn't be a bad thing to mandate childrearing classes for all 1st time mothers. Just about breastfeeding do's and don't's, reminder that a 1/5 of vodka will kill a baby, you know, the basics.

I just pictured something. So the government makes it mandatory for all first time parents to attend child-rearing classes. On the first day, the instructor asks "Okay, if you're an idiot, please raise your hand." Then there's a long and awkward pause as no one raises their hand. Time continues to elapse and still no one has raised their hand. The teacher sighs impatiently but still does not proceed.
I just find that mental image hilarious. Let's face it... there's a lot of people out there that shouldn't be having kids at all. |

Florida has such a dismal reputation in terms of child welfare. After all the kidnappings and missing foster children and the like, it's remarkable that officials still offer up lame excuses as to why a baby with a .47% BAC needs her parents' cooperation for prosecution.

I believe my grandmother did the whiskey thing too. But this was before more effective over the counter solutions. And she didn't kill any of us. I raised three boys and never had to share my booze with them to ease their teething, pain, hunger or ills.

Welcome to Miami bitches.
This is not that uncommon, a lot of the immigrant population does weird things (like eat soap, feed their babies soap) they often give their babies and children leathal amounts of alcohol... this is not the first Ive heard of this here in the area and Ive only been here a few years. The reason it takes a year to investigate is well with the hurricane season it sets everything back at LEAST a month... then the Broward County Sheriffs office cant handle it(nothing in south fl can handle anything, its all on overload...) so nothing gets done.......hell a year is a short period of time all things considered... and if they cant find the woman and her husband ...........(they probably ran back to their country of origin)

Yeah, it sucks. The problem is, I think, not in giving alcohol to a young child, which in a tiny amount is harmless, it's that it was taken to such a degree that it became fatal.
In other words, the problem here isn't the alcohol, it's the extreme nature of the behavior. Overdoing anything to such an extreme degree is dangerous and could be fatal. Gilda

Here in Ontario, just yesterday, they announced the arrest of a woman on manslaughter charges for killing her 3 month old (I think it was a case of shaken to death). The cops would have liked to press charges sooner, but sometimes they (or more accurately, the government prosecutors) will not proceed until they have all their ducks in a row. I don't really care how long it takes, so long as they eventually get the right person and successfully prosecute. Isn't that what is important? But don't let me interrupt with logic and common sense any rant *some* people want to make about cops, yet again.

No I’m saying it is best to make a timely arrest and not let the suspects come up missing. This case doesn’t even come close in complexity to the Laci Peterson murder case yet Scott Peterson was arrested about four months after his wife was killed. Questioning a handful of people who may have been present when the baby was given the vodka should not have under any circumstance taken that long.
As for rants… The only benefit of the doubt I want to give the police is that they are poor investigators and not simply unwilling to pursue a case against the killers of the child of Haitian immigrants. And the thought that you are logical and gifted with common sense because you don’t share an opinion with someone is conjecture as well as presumptuous.
