    Default My friend's baby was murdered.

    So.. Ive danced with this girl for a number of years. We were never best friends. I heard this actually through the rumor mill. and I looked it up...
    only to find it was true. I remember her coming to work a few times looking bruised up but I had assumed she was in a fight at another club

    I feel really bad. at work she did mention her kids a lot and seemed like a good mom..
    No judgement here..... but ladies if you are in any kind of abusive relationship and you have babies or children... Please.. do anything possible to get away.
    it doesnt matter if you need to stay at a shelter,.. there is no shame.
    life puts every person in wildly different circumstances no matter what money situation you start in. and also... no man is ever worth your kid's safety..... this made me feel so horrible for my friend. She no longer has her other kids.

    How sad but the mother is to blame too. She was an user according to the story and shouldn't have kids with that loser guy. I am not justifying what he did but users (if that is true)don't have much logic either. I feel sorry for the kids.

    I will say a prayer for the baby, for the judge and the jurors (If it goes to trial). Rip little princess.

    Good pickup Kelly. Multiple serious injuries to two children over time, including the six month baby, who was also born with marijuana in his system, etc. I hate to say it, but the mother was definitely part of the problem. And if she wasn't also beating the kids, I have a very hard time believing that she was blind to the fact that he was.

    Here is a more fulsome version of the story:

    I will never understand how people could do this to their own kids. This death was so senseless, a young little girl's life snuffed out just because two parents were too stupid and selfish to raise their kids right. And what is worse is that the mother was casually blabbing about the whole thing on social media after it happened and even acting excited about the next kid in the oven, like the gravity of what has happened has not sunk in. This makes me so angry that I am going to stop here, except to say that I hope that the baby ends up in a better home than the one that he was in.

    this makes me livid and nauseous as the same time. not to be judgemental but i gotta agree with kelly and rick. i've read and even witnessed so many instances of children being beaten, or killed by the live in boyfriend/husband/father because the mom put the man above her own kids ( and even abuse the kids themselves. as a mother this blows my fucking mind). i don't however feel that them smoking weed was a direct causation of the murder and abuse though or even had anything to do with it! plenty of parents smoke weed and its not like crack or heroin or some shit that will make you a druggy abusive parent *shrug*. i do hope that poor baby who isn't even born yet gets taken away too though

    http://www.drugabuse.gov/publication...acts/marijuana

    Marijuana use during pregnancy is associated with increased risk of neurobehavioral problems in babies. Because THC and other compounds in marijuana mimic the body’s own cannabinoid-like chemicals, marijuana use by pregnant mothers may alter the developing endocannabinoid system in the brain of the fetus. Consequences for the child may include problems with attention, memory, and problem solving.

    A number of studies have shown an association between chronic marijuana use and mental illness. High doses of marijuana can produce a temporary psychotic reaction (involving hallucinations and paranoia) in some users, and using marijuana can worsen the course of illness in patients with schizophrenia. A series of large prospective studies also showed a link between marijuana use and later development of psychosis. This relationship was influenced by genetic variables as well as the amount of drug used and the age at which it was first taken—those who start young are at increased risk for later problems.

    Associations have also been found between marijuana use and other mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts among adolescents, and personality disturbances, including a lack of motivation to engage in typically rewarding activities. More research is still needed to confirm and better understand these linkages.(snip)


    In short, it may not be as risky for an adult over 25 with a fully healthy brain to dabble in marijuana use but it's a really bad idea for a mother during pregnancy.
