WTF? "A Baltimore City Circuit Court jury convicted Anita M. Jones, 39, of Baltimore of first-degree child abuse, second-degree child abuse, and second-degree assault for attacking an 18-day-old infant."

"On April 20, 2009, while babysitting, Jones assaulted her goddaughter, shaking the child and slamming her into a hard surface. As a result of the attack, the infant lost her vision and the ability to regulate her body temperature. She also now suffers from cerebral palsy and experiences seizures."
GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHH!!!
You know, I'm the last person in the world to get all mushy about kids, but these kind of child abuse cases still make my blood boil. Why the hell wasn't Jones charged with attempted first-degree murder?
I think the blood-boiling thing is literal for me - when I read crap like this, I actually feel a burst of heat. It's one of the only things I really really can't respond to in any rational sense. My first reaction was "LET'S JUST CLEAR ALL THE DRUG OFFENDERS OUT OF JAIL AND LOCK UP ALL CHILD ABUSERS FOR LIFE!!!"
Instead, I gave you all GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHH!!!
18 days? 18 days?!? 18 DAYS?!?
GGGGGGGGGAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGGHH!!!
The BCPD are looking for a Ford Van in the hit & run, they said they didn't know what color it was.
I think it is pretty pathetic to do something like that to a dog.I am not a big fan of pit bulls but I don't think that you should do that to a dog.I could never do that to a dog.The only time you should ever hurt a dog is in self defense.I think anybody who hurts a dog(unless it is in self defense)or a baby should be sent to Afghanistan to be with the Taliban
