Go to work, lose your kids
First, read the story:
Daily Choice Turned Deadly: Children Left on Their Own
Last Sunday, as her night shift neared, Kim Brathwaite faced a hard choice. Her baby sitter had not shown up, and to miss work might end her new position as assistant manager at a McDonald's in downtown Brooklyn.

So she left her two children, 9 and 1, alone, trying to stay in touch by phone.

It turned out to be a disastrous decision. Someone, it seems, deliberately set fire to her apartment. Her children died. And within hours, Ms. Brathwaite was under arrest, charged with recklessly endangering her children.

2. It's disgusting
We ought to point out to every talk radio cocksuker that THEY are partly responsible for the death of those kids, because it's policies that THEY push that force people to make these horrible decisions!
