Toddler found chained by neck (CNN article)

In yet another disturbing example of human cruelty, police in Chicago found a 3-year old boy chained by the neck to his bed while doing a drug/weapon search. :|

Full Article

I think DCFS dropped the ball here as well. You think "chained to the bed" would count as one of the little red flags they look for when doing house inspections. :disgust:

What is wrong with people? What is so difficult about taking care of children, or at least going so far out of your way as to protect them from being mentally scarred? The sheer level of anger and sadness I feel makes me want to see the foster 'parents' fry for this. 🙁 (because we don't have an emoticon for 'Crying')

I disagree. I think when a toddler is leashed at the mall, the parent(s) is making a good compromise (the kid has the ability to move around yet is always in the parents grasp). Too many freaks out there nabbing kids to let your toddler run free in a mall, and the kid is too old to be in a stroller or carried.. I think the appearance of a kid on a leash is what most people have a problem with.

On the other hand, if your 7 year old is leashed at the mall, that may be a problem....

My oldest daughter is a very well behaved kid, but once when she was about 3, she saw an airplane (big commercial airliner) fly close overhead, started screaming "airplane, airplane" & chased it, in a busy parking lot, thought I was going to have a stroke chasing her, I went from strolling with hands full of stuff to full tilt boogie dodging cars in a split second.

I understand the parents with leashes.

The people that chained that child should be publicly horsewhipped though.

 
His foster mother, Mary Bryant, 64, said the boy was chained because he stole food, according to police.

That's her excuse for doing something so horrible to a child? What is wrong with people today. What a pathetic excuse for a human being!! :|

Poor kid! 🙁🙁

That's why people shouldn't be allowed to just go around reproducing just because they have the equipment for it.

These people didn't reproduce, they fostered kids 'out of the goodness of their hearts' 🙁

If you're going to be that cruel, why in the world would you want kids in your house to begin with???

I never understood the leash thing either....

until I had my own child.
 
They should be thrown in jail for life and kept chained to their beds - that'll teach them.:|

I have no sympathy for people who harm children or are cruel to them. They should lose their civil rights.

 
:disgust:Unbelievable, these retards aren't humans, they are worse than animals.:|

That three year old probably stoled food because he was hungry.

I wonder how often CPS checked up on these losers.
 
The ideas about how to treat kids are fairly different here in the US from most other parts of the world (at least places I've been). Harsher forms of discipline are commonplace in a lot of areas. For example, I was shocked when I saw a child in a stroller in a mall in Europe who had a black eye, but I was told that parents smacking their children is acceptable over there.

I'm not saying I support the chaining-up of a child... just that we have a much lower tolerance for harsher punishment than most (or at least a good portion) of the world.

Animals don't chain up their children!!
 
"Here's a woman who's 64 years old who has six very troubled kids and so she can't take care of them and starts chaining them to beds," he said. Five different social service agencies were involved in placing the children, with DCFS as the oversight agency, Murphy said.

So this is an excuse? Social Services screws up, and it's okay to chain your kid to a bed? My mom raised 7 of us, and I don't ever remember being chained to my bedpost. She may have been 64, but she had a 29 year old daughter who obviously had a bad childhood (now selling drugs, possesses weapons in the house), and a 49 year old husband that could have helped. This is just plain sick and wrong. And WTF is with only giving her a misdameanor offense? :|

So the black eye was from the Parents?

Personally I think it's BS that these kids were removed from this house of horrors. The government has no business burdening parents with these kinds of opressive regulations that limit people's freedoms in this way.

Oh how I long for the good old days when shame and civil liability insured the well being of tortured children. It used to be all that was necessary to set parents right was a few old widows whispering while getting their hair done........sigh....the good old days.

From the article I read which was in the Chicago sun-Times yesterday I don't believe Murphy was defending her actions. He was laying the blame on DCFS for not getting the kids out of the house. My mother was a fostercare mother and had to get re-evaulated every year to keep her certification for foster home. DCFS has gone down the tubes alot in the past 20 years.
