(10,952 posts)If a parent's love for his/her child is not strong enough to provide a safe home environment what will? I refuse to accept any excuses or call these incidents accidents. Rational people would recognize the inherent danger in leaving loaded weapons where they can be accessed by children and possible consequences.
I would have no problem with looking at any of the idiots right in the face and telling them point blank: You must not love your child because you obviously were not too concerned about his/her safety. I would love to see laws passed that would remove any additional children from a home where incidents like this occurs. As far as I am concerned, idiots like these do not have a right to maintain custody of any other children. When people are found guilty of severe animal abuse, the courts sometime prohibit them from owning future animals - the same should hold with children.
