-Abandoned boy

:cry: That poor baby!:cry:

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (July 27) - A mother was under arrest Wednesday on child endangerment and other charges after authorities said she abandoned her 4-year-old son on the Capital Beltway, then struck him with her car when he tried to get back in.

The boy was treated at a hospital for cuts and bruises, police said. He later was placed in the custody of a child protective services agency.


"My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car."
-Abandoned boy

Police picked him up after receiving a call late Tuesday night from motorist who said she had found a child wandering along Interstate 495.

"I said, 'Why are you out here?' And he said, 'My mommy left me. She was angry and she pushed me out of the car,''' the driver, who asked not to be identified, told WJLA-TV.

2. Unreal!

No words

[FreedomAngel82]

3. That's so horrible!

I'm so disgusted. Why would a mother push out her little baby? :mad: Sick!!!

4. "she was involved in a two-car accident...later tht night"

"State police said they found Green and were able to figure out that she was the child's mother after she was involved in a two-car accident on Interstate 95 north of Richmond, Va., later Tuesday night."

Either she's evil, or a psychopath, or God knows what. My first thought was "drug addict."b Poor, poor kid.

[LisaL]

5. We should have "mother of the week contest".

One mother locks her kid in the car. The other one trows her kid out of the car.
:grr:

[SammyWinstonJack]

12. value voters!

[Nevernose]

18. Fifty bucks says they both vote R -- because of "the values"

(assuming they vote at all)

[Alcibiades]

29. I will take your $50

I really, really, really don't think she's a Republican.

[Nevernose]

30. And how - pray tell -do you intend to prove that?

Or that, as according to my OP, she voted at all?

[Alcibiades]

33. Voter Registration Records

Her name is Channoah Alece Green, 22, of Newport News, VA.

Unfortunately, they don't have online voter records in Newport News, so yeah, I guess there's no way to check.

[deadparrot]

6. Really disgusting.

Hopefully the poor little guy can find a loving home elsewhere.

[MissB]

7. Wow

That poor child. I hope he is put into a loving home.

[Minstrel Boy]

8. I think he's a lucky boy to get away from her with his life.

I hope now he can find someone to be a real mother to him.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. What the fuck is wrong with people?

...

[saracat]

10. But hey, she had the baby! Doesn't that count?

Who cares how she treats the child after it is born. You don't see the Fundies lining up to protest this!

[Fridays Child]

11. Must be a Republican. Everybody knows WE only try to get rid of 'em...

...before they're born. /sarcasm

[Clark2008]

13. What the mofo hell?

This just burns me up.

I'm a single mother who has been frustrated, never gets child support and has to support my son, both financially and emotionally, completely only my own and with the choices I make. And, damnit, I have never ONCE considered harming my son. Have I yelled at him? Yes. Spanked him? Yes. Threatened to kill him? FUCK NO!

In fact, we're in the process of rescuing a baby bird. I don't want to HEAR frustration. I've been through it. This both makes me cry and makes me mad enough to cold-cock this woman into the middle of next week.

Sorry for the rant.

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. I know! I know!

I have been VERY, VERY angry at my son and NEVER would it even enter my mind to something like that! *sigh* No child deserves that, ever, for ANY reason. People never cease to amaze me. That poor child. :(

[grannylib]

14. that makes me just ill....i can't bear the thought of a mother who would

do that to her child...as a mom who has lost a child, i just cannot fathom that, and it is so painful to think that there are parents out there who do not love/want their children, and then those who would have given their lives to save their kids, but weren't given the option...
man that sucks, to put it mildly
poor kid...

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Oh my gosh! Bad day for kids in our country

[Clark2008]

17. Is Isabelle a Brittany Spaniel?

I have a Cocker (second love of my life).

Here they are in earliers times. :)

[in_cog_ni_to]

20. Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! How CUTE!

No, Isabelle is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She's our sweetheart and SPOILED ROTTEN!

[Clark2008]

23. Oh, yeah! I've seen those!

I knew the Spaniel ears and eyes though - spaniels have the most precious ears and eyes. :)

She's a cutie patootie! (And I said that loooong before Rosie O'Donnell! LOL!)

[in_cog_ni_to]

24. Those eyes...that's why she's so damned spoiled!

One look and I'm MUSH! :)

You're son is absolutely adorable! Beautiful baby! That smile is a heart-melter. How old is he now? My son is 12...almost a teenager. sheesh, how time flies!

[Clark2008]

26. He's 6

And still has a heart-melting smile.

Oh - and - hee hee - his first grade teacher is, get this, Mrs. CLARK.

He keeps thinking it's gonna be Gert.

Oh, bless his heart!

[tblue37]

21. You have two really cute babies! (eom)

[Clark2008]

25. Aw.. Thank you.

They're both five years older now than in that picture. I just like that picture. :7

My son is 6 now and the doggie, he's 13 and still just fine. :)

[Deja Q]

19. As more jobs are lost and/or prices continue to skyrocket, these incidents

will become more common, I regret to say.

A buddy of mine at the UI office has noticed a LOT more incidents of spouse/girlfriend/whatever brutality too...

[Clark2008]

22. Isn't it funny how money does this to people?

I struggle - daily - yet, I don't know how I'd live without my son.

I do, however, have a plan to live on minimum wage.

But, my son, nope... giving him up is NOT an option. (I do like to take breaks from him now and again, and would LOVE to find a good babysitter, since I've never had one, but that's another thread entirely).

[tblue37]

27. Too bad you didn't know me during the 18 years I ran a home daycare.

I am a great babysitter--except that I closed the daycare in 1999 when my youger child left for college.

[Clark2008]

28. Thank you - but I mean a baby sitter.

I have, thank God, my mother for child care while I work - but I hate asking her for weekend duty, too, when I just want to go out on a date.

No, I meant someone who could watch the baby from about 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. on a Saturday night, once a month. LOL.

[tblue37]

31. LOL--I used to do that, too.

And overnighters, whatever the parents needed. I was a full-service sitter.

I also taught college English (as I still do) and had my own dressmaking/tailoring/alterations shop. I taught two to four classes per semester (3 days a week) and had my office hours on Saturday. I had a regular substitute during the hours I taught. I always taught earliest morning hours, because the kids were not all there at the same time, and the ones who were there weren't "all there," since they were usually very sleepy. By the time everyone was fully awake and raring to go, I would already be home from class.

I adjusted my sewing hours to fit around whatever the parents needed in the way of daycare or babysitting.

I didn't get much sleep when my kids were young and I was running the daycare, but it did mean that I was able to be home all day with my own kids, and I took really good care of the other children, too. I am still close with all of them--though most of them are grown up now.

When my first regular sitter graduated from college, got married and had a daughter, she reminded me that I had promised I would be her daycare provider when she needed one. (She had worked for me for 5 years.)

I always tried to avoid turnover, because the kids get attached to one sitter, and it is a strain for them to lose one they are already attached to and have to form a bond with a new one. I would hire a freshman or sophomore college student, and she would stay with me until she graduated from college. I only hired people I already knew well--because they had been my own students.

32. Mama is not playing with a full deck

good grief.

Sometimes I know I had those days with my kid, but not enough to abandon him on a freeway!

It's a miracle the little guy didn't get killed out there.
