My Choice for Mother of the Year-No, Seriously

Okay, maybe Melissa Dean isn’t really mother of the year. But I do feel for her. You can read the story: http://www.dreamindemon.com/2008/02/21/melissa-dean-went-on-strike/ here or go to Foxnews. Better yet, see the video of her four teenage bastards verbally abusing and threatening reporters: http://www.myfoxorlando.com/myfox/pages/Home/Detail;jsessionid=540758551BFE8CB989232C34BF499E21?contentId=5837588&version=17&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=1.1.1&sflg=1

She couldn’t handle her four kids…what’s she going to do, spank them? They’re bigger than she is, the father is nowhere to be found, and she’s called the cops something like a dozen times. She’s sought help and can’t get any.
What can she do? She went on strike and left them alone. She came back at night and checked on them and fed them.
Come to think of it, these kids are teens and there are four of them…they can’t (expletive) figure out to cook a meal for themselves?

Basically, the authorities and the father have failed this woman…so what do they do? They arrest her.
The irony is that if that if she could have and did discipline her kids, the jack booted thugs at Dept of Social Services, most of whom either don’t have kids or make lousy parents themselves, would have likely charged her…but don’t get me started on the anti family agenda of DSS…

This isn’t her fault, folks. Maybe she could have done a better job parenting, maybe not, but I strongly disagree with the blanket statement I heard a woman say on Fox’s “Red Eye” this morning…monsters don’t always raise monsters and vice versa.

Being a single parent is tough enough, but picture yourself as a woman raising four teenage boys, all of whom are probably bigger and stronger than you, with no help from the father…arresting her is a travesty. These kids are old enough to be held for acting like the out of control punks they are, and need to be taught a lesson. If she can’t do it, send ‘em to Juvy. They’ll either get the message or end up in jail.

While we’re at it, how about we release her and arrest this absentee father? Why is he not as responsible as her? They’re his kids, too. He’s more responsible in my book. At least she’s tried. God knows where he is, but boys this age need the discipline of a father. Arrest him.
