I've been somewhat following this one.I came across this article and it makes me mad (on the internet). Lady, you were dumb enough to leave your then nine-month-old in the bathtub and he drowned. As far as she should be concerned, that was "God's decision". But no, she dun fucked up good, so now she wants her baby to be the next Jahi and forced to keep his heart going until enough organs fail that even the ventilator won't help anymore.
I'm certain that she's still in pain. They're just saying she doesn't need pain medication because she's past the point of even being able to express pain. Really sad. We know she's suffering, while mom is in deep denial.
They should be facing charges no matter what happens, especially since ten minutes is not an accident. Nor should they get free handouts (government or otherwise), and the state of Texas shouldn't have to pay money to keep a corpse "alive", either.
There is no excuse for leaving an infant unsupervised in a bath for even 10 seconds. If you don’t have five minutes to give an infant your full undivided attention for a bath, then no bath. It’s simple.
It's probably been answered already, but will Luna make it to adulthood? Will she even make it to 5? I don't see her lasting very long.
She probably will not make it much longer. Her disorder is progressive and her head is swelling at an alarming rate and as others has said she's showing signs the shunt has failed (it was never more then a measure akin to shoving a finger into a hole in a dike). Whats screwed up is looking at videos she does seem to have some awareness which has got to be awful. It obviously the swelling is also more diffuse because her nerves seem affected since she does not appear to have ability to close her mouth or use her tongue right according to the mothers PT post.
Abortion is statistically highest amongst the poor. ironically, it's also the poor who get the most upset about abortion being legal, and those people tend to have kids pretty young since many are also ignorant about contraception.
If there are pending charges of child abuse/neglect, they'd be more severe if the baby had died.
Oh I'm sure they're not just trying to keep his body warm just because they love him so much and truly believe he can miraculously recover. God decided the kid was dead in that bathtub last month, and I highly doubt they can keep him from rotting "all the way to the Supreme Court".

A lot of poorer women don’t have many opportunities at education, fulfilling careers, stable relationships with BF/husbands. They usually live in crappy housing and life is a struggle. But they do have babies and raise children, sometimes many. This becomes, by a huge margin, the most important role and what they get the most social praise and acknowledgement for doing - being mothers. Being a high school school drop out, been a single mom, working at wal-mart, collecting welfare, living in a trailer/HUD project, etc...are all roles/identities society looks down upon but being a mom is celebrated.
I remember this, the little guy had inhaled a balloon, and it blocked his airway. A real accident, not parents leaving a baby in a bathtub to drown.
