Georgia baby sitter, 11, charged in death.



I know that this post has nothing to do with politics, but I hope Prof. DeWitt will indulge me. First of all, who the hell would leave a 2 year old to be cared for by an 11 year old?! I am 24, given I'm a guy, but I dont have the confidence or maybe knowledge to look after a child of that age for 15 minutes. Maybe if I have been around small children more in my life time I would be more suited for such a task. But an 11 year old, are you kidding me!! Parents, wake the *#^@ up!!

One aspect of this case I do not understand is that if you listen closely to the video above, the child was left in the care of the 11 year old, AND the 11 year olds mother. Shouldn't that woman be held responsible for an infant child left in HER apartment? If I, at my current age, was taking care of a baby for a friend at my mothers house she would be right beside me the entire time making sure I was doing everything correctly and safely for the sake of the child. For a mother to pawn off that responsibillity, which is a cosiderable one, to another child is a gross act of criminal negligence in my book. Charge the right individual Sandy Springs!!

  1. If you ask me this seems kind of sketchy. The autopsy didnt reveal too much just "blood force trauma to the head" and "trauma to her torso and buttocks." Well, we could take a second to analzye this whole situation and at the end of it all assign blame to one person. The victim's mother should be the one blamed for all this. Why would you leave your 2 year old with a 11 year old?!?! The 11 year old can not even take care of her self, let alone a 2 year old. Just like pastor jones was not thinking this lady was also not thinking.
