Duh Busted For Intentional PNA Via Car

The new methods will have something to do with animals, after all, it has worked with African Painted Dogs (but not with gorillas) so I think sharks, pythons, and piranha fish will be next, not to mention the trucks of Kilamanjaro Safari and Kali River Rapids.

Most of the commenters on the yahoo version of the story were very suspicious of the moo. All she went on in court about is how he was a great father and how humiliated she was by his sexting to the underage girls.

This was outstanding news! Maybe pahrunts will stop torturing their children in this way. Now they can't get away with it, it does make me wonder what new version of SIDS they are going to come up with .

Looks like former Duh might have trouble sexting sweet young things while in prison, but who knows? He will be on the low end of the totem pole now.

Oh, he will be so low he won't even BE on the totem pole if they put him in with the general population....which is why certain criminals (those who molest/kill kids, for example) are kept separate from the general population inside. I say put 'em in with the general pop, and see what happens. They often wind up being assaulted, tormented, or shanked.

Maybe there's some desire for one to take the fall for all those who get away with "they've suffered enough"? If children were viewed as people instead of property most of the time when it comes to punishing breeders, it would be less of a pleasure to see them get what they deserve. At least that is why I like to see breeders found guilty, although I don't want them to get additional punishment because I feel like that perpetuates the elevation of children over adults.

My opinion is somewhat situational. If it's something where everyone involved--kids, elders, adults--all suffered/died/whatever, then I don't see the kids' suffering/death as any worse than the suffering or death of others. Take a plane crash or bus accident or whatever. People are injured or killed, it's a horrific situation--but the kids' deaths aren't instantly more tragic. Or if a kid breaks their leg skiiing--that's not automatically worse than an adult breaking their leg.

But situations where someone vulnerable is abused, exploited, or killed by the one they put trust in--I see that as slightly different. Child and elder abuse makes me ragey. Kids and elders are in a position where they put trust in their caretakers and sometimes aren't able to advocate for themselves if they are hurt or endangered. I don't see it as elevating the kids' status over the adults; I see it as holding the parents responsible for their actions in a situation where they held all the power, and they abused that power (and that kid).

Part of my own bias comes from having worked with children who suffered at the hands of their parents...people who really should not have bred at all. So the "they suffered enough" excuse is infuriating.

Veering off-topic, but I think the concept of jailhouse justice is largely fiction; why would a prisoner want to add time to his sentence without a personal reason to attack another inmate?
