This morning whilst reading the news I came across this CNN item entitledWoman Allegedly Advised by Geese Not Guilty in Tot Death.
Yes, you read that correctly. Granny has apparently been in the mental hospital before, and one fine day she killed her grandchild with a chef’s knife. “Authorities said Pappas had told her son she had been receiving spiritual advice from geese flying over his house, where she was living,” according to the article.
Yes, Geese.
Now think about this a minute:
HONK! HONK! HONK!
“Yes! Of course, I see it now! Thanks!”
Make no mistake. This woman is clearly insane, and clearly needs to be in the mental hospital for a good long time; what a shame that she had to kill somebody for that to happen.
But what about charges for the parents who left their toddler in the care of a woman who had been admitted to a mental hostpital 6 weeks previously and gets spiritual advice from geese?
If you are looking to read something with a bit more substance, may I recommend The Nation’s article “The Care Crisis.”
The irony is that she was receiving ‘spirtual advice’ to carry out the biggest sin. Further proof of the existence of a ‘loving’ God…
and as for her defense and of receiving spiritual advice: what has that to do with the child crying and the woman freaking out? It appears that she became incontrollably angry not ‘devinely directed.’
and of the irresponsible parents? Perhaps they should be held in the jail cell next to the CPS officers and attorney(s) (who haven’t brought the parents up on criminal neglect for leaving the child with psycho mom.)
saa, Orei ha gachou ga kikeru no de nanki suru ni ikanakuchia, yo… “oh children…!”
ooops that should have been NANIKA suru ni… gomen
