Omg that is super sad.

Once I had this druggie neighbor and her 3 year old son got out while she was drugged up on heroin and he walked about 1 block in the snow near a very busy street.

How can you have children and then be like ok back to me.

Good grief.

Don't have children if your not even gonna care for them properly.
 Quoting: LittleMissDictator


I will cover in my Light and life thread about this sort of very bad parenting. Because we will sterilize them and if necessary take the children away.

Impossible. Article probably fake. -35 is way too cold to survive without shoes. Coldest i ever experienced was -28, was not allowed outside more than 2 hours and we had proper clothing.

At that temp you have 5 minutes before skin starts to freeze. Your eyes can freeze shut pretty quickly too. I would guess it would take two little kids 20-30 minutes to walk the half mile.

As for the article/story being fake, well, there are at least 3 other sources I have seen this same story in...

Sky news doesn't usually sell out fake storylines... I'm not sure on the other 3 I've seen up to now...

IDK... I just think something is very strange about this whole story in itself... it doesn't all add up...

Girl, 5, carries toddler half a mile in -35C with no shoes on after Alaska blackout

The 5 year old and 18 month year old arrived at a neighbours home suffering from injuries relating to the cold weather.

Alone and frightened by an electricity blackout, a shoeless five-year-old child carried her younger sibling half a mile to a neighbour's house in -35C (-31F).

Alaska state troopers were called after welfare concerns were raised for the two children in Venetie, a village in the northwestern American state.

The five-year-old and 18-month-old arrived at the neighbour's home suffering from injuries relating to the cold weather. They had been dressed only in socks and light clothing.

Don’t do it . Unless you want to be a real involved mother. It’s wonderful, but not at all easy

Wow... sounds truly sickening...

I understand that there is neglect and abuse rampant everywhere and anywhere in the world...

It all boils down to "bad" parenting skills and lack of knowledge in most cases...

 Quoting: LilMiss


It is a case of neglect, in this case, I agree...

Maybe she (The mother) should have reached out to other family members/friends for help?

Or she could have taken her children with her rather than abandoning them at home alone during this time for them all...

IDK about the Alaskan laws there on when a child is considered responsible enough/old enough to be left home alone but here in the UK, it's 13 at the very least... even if you are just nipping down to your local grocery store or whatever... the law states 13 is responsible enough to be left home alone... 16 to be left home alone with another minor (child) ...

^^^^ They both suffered injuries, yes...

Doesn't say how or what the injuries were but you can bet it was because of the extreme cold...

That girl must have suffered and endured hell, in those extreme conditions, before getting herself and her toddler sibling to the nearest neighbours...

I do feel for them...

Glad they are safe now though...

Snow is 32°f,that kid didnt suffer.a half mile is a brisk walk.builds character!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15596746


Guess you missed science class???
 Quoting: BRIEF

Its alaska. 32 below zero and the article said both kids had a little frost bite injury. Science class doesn't fix beavis or butthead.

Brave good little thing had angels. We were kids like that and here and there, it killed one or two of us too. That was just life.

Now we have expertly defeated life and another bunch will sit and freeze in a dark house, waiting for alexa to turn life support systems back on.

 Quoting: Goofy for God


That's what gets me...

A 5 year old child, in this case, acted more responsible than the parent/s...

Sadly, there are probably thousands of family households like this out there...

Either because of lack of knowledge/help or otherwise...

But I posted this one because I was quite taken back by the fact that 2 small children even survived this and the blackout thing going on...

It is Alaska after all... I get the idea that it's always freezing there...

Yeah, I did think that... so it was like a matter of life or death situation for both of them....

It amazes me they both survived that... heck, even some adults would wonder what to do in this situation...

People dont give a shit about kids these days. And yet, we've got white Vans in Baltimore, MD, trying kidnap young girls for organ harvesting, adrenochrome.
When are you sorry pcs of shit going to wake up and realize it's not about you? It's about the children.
If you dont want them, dont lay down with somebody who doesn't want them, either.
Men dont want kids bc they simply cannot afford them. Stupid women are thinking of their pocketbooks,too. Druggies and drunks should be sterilized. Why? Bc yall can't face your problems. You dont wanna be responsible for Jack shit!
You just wanna be stoned out of your minds or pickled bc, well, life is shit and I can't deal.
Boo fucking hoo! Grow the fuck up. Life is not a fairy tale where people live happily ever after. You work, you struggle, you make do with what you've got. You've got kids? Fucking be a parent and raise them.
Its not about you, sack of shit! You have responsibility. Fucking face up to it, or get the fuck out of the way and let a real adult do it.
