After losing another battle to sleep on a snow day. Moi and my half a sleep brain came across another child neglect story on the Web!
It woke me up 'good' to say the least.
What is beyond me?
Why people have children when they have no business having them. This is exactly why birth control and condoms needs to be more readily available to people, and especially young folks. If birth control needs to be shoved down throats, then shall be it! Because these stories of child neglect are getting more ridiculous every year.
A local newspaper, The Reading Eagle, broke the news on Saturday that Andraya M. Howard (the woman above) who is known for having a fling with Chris Brown late last year was arrested at her apartment in Reading, Pennsylvania on January 13, 2011 for endangering the life of a child.
According to the court records:
A policeman found her son alone in a messy apartment on December 16, 2010 around 2 am . Her son called 9-1-1 and told the dispatchers he was home alone.
Her son told a patrolman that he called his mother's cell phone about 20 times to locate her and the last they spoke was after he got off the bus. During the phone call she informed him that she was at a tanning salon and would be home soon.
Howard's apartment looked like it had been struck by a hurricane with bras and panties scattered every where in the living room. A small dog was in a cage, despite dog feces and dog urine in several places of the apartment.
The patrolman talked to her 7 year old son, while he got a frozen dinner out of the freezer and stood on the counter to put it in the microwave.
When police spoke to the boy's grandmother who baby sat him often. She told them that she watched her grandson when Howard 'modeled' overnight in Philadelphia, but hasn't watched him in months.
Howard returned home around 8:45 am when police explained he was in the care of the county Children and Youth Services. They charged Howard on December 30, 2010 but did not immediately arrest her because she agreed to surrender to the Sheriff's deputies. When she failed to surrender, they arrested her on Thursday.
What kills me the most about these types of stories? The only reason we hear about them is because the person accused of neglect is attached to a famous name. Or even worse. They killed a child already, making this more newsworthy.
How can a mother just leave her baby alone at home to pursue a modeling career? And this term modeling career should be used loosely, because we know she isn't walking the runaway in Milan. (The rumor is that she is a stripper and there isn't much modeling that occurs.) Or have the nerve to brag about getting paper when your child is wandering around the dog feces in your apartment? What really blows my mind? That you would rather follow a musician around the country like a groupie without any responsibilites when you have a baby (a gift from God) at home waiting for 'you' to raise him.
We wonder why are youth are so screwed up today? Or why men have more issues over women than Vogue magazine!
I hope Jesus takes the wheel on this one! Or this poor boy is going to have some serious problems.
I doubt he will end up a mama's boy too, because his mother is terrible. What are the signs that a male will not be a mama's boy?

On an ending note:
"The best contraceptive is a glass of cold water: not before or after, but instead."
