I beat my kid and it’s all your fault
Posted by Raven on March 13th, 2006
I’m sorry. I have no sympathy for this pathetic excuse from a mother. This is bulloney.
A frazzled Taunton mom who claims she begged the state to take her kids got her wish Friday, but not before she allegedly shook her 6-month-old son so violently he vomited and had to be hospitalized with a skull fracture, authorities said.
“It sounds like she was trying to get help and it wasn’t there for her, and the result was bad,” said Taunton Police Lt. Michael Silvia.
Jessica Rodenhiser, 22, told police she shook her infant son, Daniel, because he wouldn’t stop crying Friday morning as her 18-month-old daughter, Janet, was acting up, too. The boy was in serious but stable condition last night.
And people will enable this kind of behavior to continue by making excuses, placing blame on everyone else but the person who deserves it. When will folks start taking responsibility for their own actions?

“…she was trying to get help and it wasn’t there for her…”
Boo hoo hoo. I do feel for the kids though.

The fact that this wretched woman can be taken seriously when she attempts to shift the blame for her own unforgivable actions onto a state agency can be laid directly at the feet of the liberals’ socialist influence in both politics and the courts.
This liberal way of doing things engenders the shifting of personal responsibility onto the collective, like it’s MacD’s liability if a child orders a supersize meal, a tobacco company’s fault if someone smokes or Smith & Wesson’s fault if someone shoots somebody with a handgun. It stands to reason, therefore, that soon automobile manufacturers will be liable for traffic fatalities.

Ugh, like usual you miss the point. This isn’t about blame, it’s about responsibility. The mother obviously is incapable of taking care of her children therefore, in a responsible society, someone must step in to care for the children. Do you want to live in a society that takes care of children born to unfit mothers? Should we just leave them there and spend our days writing on the internet about what awful mothers they are so that you can feel superior about yourselves? If you actually cared about the children, as some of you claim, you would make an issue out of social services dropping the ball because you would realize that the amount of disdain you have for this woman isn’t going to make her a better mother, and the only thing that will help the children is the competent social safety net that you deride.
Yes Seth, the liberal way does shift the burden of responsibility onto the collective society when one member cannot properly fulfill theirs. That’s because the welfare of the children are more important that any of your disconnected admonitions on personal responsibility. Furthermore, your equivalence of bad lawsuits to child welfare is puerile idiocy.
You have a choice, you can support a society that picks up after the more incapable members of it or you can leave them to rot and die, including their children. If you choose the latter, you have no right to condemn them or pretend to care about their children because to ignore a problem is only slightly better than creating it.
