Today the News and Messenger reported a very disturbing story. A Bristow couple had boarded 3 children ages 4 months, 2 and 4 years, up in a room with a sheet of drywall, amongst all sorts of filth. The oldest of the children escaped and ran to a neighbor’s house for help. The police were called and the children were placed with social services and the couple was arrested and jailed without bond.
The story is quite nasty. Perhaps nastist of all is the fact that Christina Moore has been arrested for criminal child neglect before. She was arrested in 2005 because her 22 month old twins were wandering around a junk yard in just diapers, while she slept in a camper. She lost custody of those children. So it appears that she just had herself some more kids to abuse and neglect.
At what point do the courts simply get tired of renewable kids and force this woman into either surgical or chemical sterilization? This is not a victimless crime and these victims are defenseless and unable to fight this monster mom back. Ordinarily I believe in innocent until proven guilty. I don’t feel that generous over this situation.
If it isn’t legal to sterilize habitual child abuse offenders, then it ought to be. Meanwhile, serious jail time is in order. Thank goodness the child escaped and ran for help. That is a pretty self sufficient 4 year old. I suppose the poor little thing has had to be.
