Parents Charged with 'Neglect' After 11-Year-Old Plays in Yard for 90 Minutes
http://insider.foxnews.com/2015/06/1...ard-90-minutes
Two Florida parents were hit with felony neglect charges after their 11-year-old son was reportedly playing alone in the backyard for an hour and a half.
Quote:
The boy arrived home before his parents and was locked out of the house, so he shot some hoops in the yard until they arrived.
A neighbor saw the child outside alone and called the local police. When his mother and father arrived home, they were met by a police officer, who arrested them for child negligence.
The parents couldn't get home sooner as they had hit traffic delays and bad weather.
Absolute madness!
Why didn't the neighbor take him in to wait, if she was so worried? Hopefully the judge throws the case out.
What in the actual fuck?
While I don't think the parents should have been arrested they should probably think about paying for a after care program. Having young kids outside like that in FL is not good for their health. FL gets so hot that if you left kids in the car with windows up it would kill them much faster then other places where weather is more forgiving.
I mean imagine if your kids are locked out of the house and you knew you couldn't make contact and the outside temperature is like 20 degrees or less. You wouldn't even care if you got arrested so much as the safety for your kids.
That is just counting weather. Leaving a young kid unsupervised for a long time could be bad. People look at it like the neighbor is a dick for calling the cops or not taking them in their house.
Well everyone is different be glad he wasn't the kind of neighbor that would have done harm. Arresting the parents probably won't solve much and just shows how strict society is today but at the same time I see societies need for concern on the matter.
Here in FL in the summer you have people locking their kids in the car or pets and not leave open windows or the car running with AC.
Right now in FL between the temp and humidity I couldn't last but maybe 15-45 minutes in a car that I was locked in if out in direct sun and that's being a healthy young active mail. I would probably be wanting to break a window within the first 10 minutes. Not exaggerating with those times either. Triple freaking digits is killer heat.
I'm starting the think the scientific name for the tip of an iceburg is the "favor"
Who do you think you see? You might be wrong.

I call the whole heat in FL. being bad for you while outdoors bull.
I have lived in FL. my whole life, and was born in MIAMI.
The house I grew up in still has no central AC to this very day.
I am conditioned better to deal with the heat than say someone from NY.
As they are better equipped to deal with harsh cold than I.
Maybe there is more to that story than has been reported.
Maybe someones pet got run over/newspaper stolen or something.
On the random of things:
"I've been eaten alive. Vladimir. Just remember that I am exist. The davil."
On another note:

I happened upon this a few minutes ago and freaking lost it.
You have no idea how funny this is to me right now.
I actually have a member of my family who when upset greatly(or slightly)
will behave exactly like the person in the bear suit.
He really knocked a huge tv over JUST like that once.
One time me and two of my cousins were hanging out in my younger cousins room.
Watching wrestling,the older of the two who were also brothers, was eating doritos out of the bag.
Now my other cousin, the younger one, kinda disliked the way his brother would just sort of
take the room over whenever he wanted and generally come and go in there as he so pleased.
When confronted he would pound the younger one.
So this time the older brother gets up and leaves for a minute to get a drink or take a piss or something.
And the younger brother says "hey Chuck" he's got the bag of chips in his hands.
He has the look of SATAN.
He takes out a chip......
LICKS the chip all over.....
And puts it BACK inside the bag.
Now here comes his big brother,he marches in, falls into the chair, picks up the bag,
And.......
At this point I can't stand it and start laughing before he even gets one in his mouth.
And he starts eating.......and I'm laughing so hard and trying not too that we both start laughing
uncontrollably.
The older brother catches on and asks "why are you laughing?'',"what's so funny?!",
and of course we can't tell him he'll try and kill us, so we just keep laughing.
Well he gets so pissed off he storms out the room.
We continue laughing, and eventually he comes back and seemingly could care less.
We stop laughing for a minute.
Untill he reached the end of the bag, and started that "hold the bag up and pour the crumbs into
your mouth pose".
I lost it again and stared dying laughing.
He gets up with no emotion on his face,takes his arm, and knocks over the TV with no regard
to human life or limb.
Sparks and glass everywhere,it pretty much exploded within two feet of all three of us.
With no expression at all on his face.
Then just stood there.
He still has no clue as to why we were laughing to this very day.
They have proven that some people handle the heat better than others. I grew up here and can no longer take it. We never had nice AC. Just a crappy swamp cooler that never worked properly. It's just too much to be outside for anything more than a few minutes. It still kills people around here. Heat stroke can cause brain damage. I think that may be half of the problem in this town. Between all of the brain damaged heat stroke victims and cheap drug,s Tucson makes Springfield in the Simpsons look like a well run utopian dream.
Once you get a taste of that AC you are pretty much done......Quote:

I never got a temp reading up there but I can say it was instant sweat as soon as you got up there and you could be up there for up to 6 hours start to finish.
And not that it matters in that heat but you also get to use a torch up there that
Exceeds 3000 degrees celsius.
In excess prolonged heat, water is your only hope.
Get a window unit if you can't afford a real central AC, and set it to 15-20 degrees cooler than outside.
Screw vapor blower boxes to hell.
I'd rather just use a fan.
I have real AC for the first time in my life but it's only been the last few years. I even fixed the one in my car. It's fairly dry around here so swamps work well until gets humid. Just not so well not maintained something never happened until I got my own place. Many people have both but if i have to pick one it's an easy decision. I can't imagine Florida. I think i would kill myself in that humidity. I just need to move away from here. My wife is from Sweden and she is doing worse than myself. I'm just sick of being inside all day. It would like to see water and green things for once in my life.
I'm used to the Florida heat. Though the humidity can be killer sometimes. When I work outside I keep a few bottles of water on hand and all is good.
I was born in Miami too and grew up in Miami and Fort lauderdale. My dad grew up Brooklyn NY.
So I was born here and been in FL my whole life as well minus 2 years I went to CA to bartend. I have no central air now. I use window units.
But yeah I never got used to this heat. I just came from walmart just now and a ambulance was picking up a young kid who was passed out. His head was lop sided on the gurney. While I can't 100% say I know his situation I am assuming the kid had a heat stroke from the way things looked.
Humidity combined with the triple digit heat here is what kills. In small spaces like a car with out windows down for circulation not only would you burn up quick but I am pretty sure the humidity takes away oxygen so it makes it harder to breathe.
I just came from Monterey beach CA which is 1 hour 45 minutes from San Fransisco. You don't need AC there year round.
Dude, keeping a Nord in the desert is just cruel.
It's so true. Were working on getting out.Quote:
