ugh

i dont know who heard about this story
but oh. my. god.

i heard about it yesterday while i was watching young and the restless. (shut up. i am a die hard fan and have been since i was just a little girl.)

anyways, they always do a news update a few times during the show at commercial and they said something along the lines of 'more news about the 1 year old found frozen to death in the -50° weather in Saskatchewan.'

my jaw dropped. i was going to watch it but Emma took over the tv and i got to cleaning the kitchen and forgot.

then i actually read the story this morning and it just broke my heart. i hate being cold. can you imagine those poor little monkeys out there with nothing on? it just makes me so sad.

i dont even know what to say about the whole thing. :*(

The whole thing makes me so sad. Reading the description of finding the girls is horrible.

When you told me the story this morning I was mortified and heartbroken. Any death related to alcohol - whether direct or indirect - is entirely preventable, when you think about it. It just makes the whole story even sadder :(

It really is such a terrible tragedy. I feel for the father, for sure. The conditions on reserves are shocking, and disgusting. It's our own third world problem right here in our own country. A sad spiral of alcohol abuse that is perpetuated. The vast number of fetal alcohol syndrome babies are born to native mothers, sadly enough. It's just such a horrible tragedy. I wish the government would spend more money, get them more help, and get that portion of our people out of the deadly spiral they seem to be in.

I still feel ill about this story. I can't stop thinking about those little babies dying cold and alone.

I may be in the minority but I think the father should be charged with 2 counts of murder.
