huh, I do wonder at the "I"m their mom" statement...

http://www.ajc.com/news/couple-arrested-for-giving-265194.html

since it was the biological mother who turned them in.

 

(synopsis...parents/stepparents arrested for tattooing all 6 of their kids w/ the same dirty needle.  they don't 'get' the outrage.)

Re: huh, I do wonder at the "I"m their mom" statement...

  • "I'm their mom" does not equal "I own them and can brand them as I please."

  • Why are they tattooing kids at all?  And where is hmonkey?

    (those questions weren't related)

    Why are they tattooing kids at all?  

    Because the kids 'wanted' them apparently.

    (from elsewhere, the result was "small crosses on the hands of the six oldest kids ?aged 10, 11, 11, 12, 15, and 17" )

    (please to note, I'm not really anti-tat.  I'm not even necessarily 'zounds, wait until you're 18'.  but...both parents have to agree (both BIOLOGICAL parents) and you do it 'right', I'm guessing this wasn't right.  Besides sharing the needles I mean.  It probably looks lke ***--don't cheap out on tats!) 

  • something about this just screams WT.  i'm quite sure what...
  • Wait a minute - the six OLDEST kids?  As in, they have more? 

    I suppose I should be more shocked that these are the kinds of people who are procreating like wildfire, but I'm just not any more.  

    lol, katori, and how!  Are you imagining all six of those kids with cigarettes dangling from the corners of their mouths?

  • there's at least one kid to young to get the tat.

    so, yeah, they've got a herd.  But I get the impression that 1/2 or so are 'hers' and 1/2 or so are 'his' and maybe the youngest few are both of theirs. 

  • And rat tails, can't forget the rat tails. There is a WT tradition that just won't die.

  • rat tails for the kids, mullets for the parents?
    image
  • I'm imagining that it's these two. 

  • ?If I?m such a bad parent, then how come they brought the kids back right after I got out jail?" Marsh asked.

    This made me laugh. Way to set the bar low enough to trip over.
