The incident was reported to authorities by a psychiatric facility that Long turned to when he learned what he had done, officials said. "He actually called a mental health crisis line immediately thereafter and told them that he had done this. And they contacted us," Hayden said. Hopefully this is the wake up call he needs.

IDBillzFan Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 A cook smoking a joint at the restaurant where he works? Then going home to drink some whiskey? Gee, I've never heard of that happening before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB27 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 It has always amazed me that you need to fill out tons of paperwork and pass a decent reference check to get a pet, but any idiot can have kids whenever they want. Just seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Ok I'm going to post this for the bazillionth time. People should go through a financial and psychological test before their allowed to have children. Oh I forgot, having children is a right.

What sort of legislation would you pass to prevent unworthy parents from having children? I don't disagree with your sentiment, but talk about a messy issue.

Every American is sterilzed at birth and can only have it reversed if they pass a financial and psychological test. Yeah, I'm a fascist pig.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but talk about a messy issue. I know, I know, I know. I guess I'm just making a point. Believe me I want less government involvement in just about everything, but I routinely have to go out and end up seeing kids that have nothing (I mean absolutely nothing) and are sitting around in dirty diapers because crack head mom or drunk dad can't/won't change them or even love them. It really breaks my heart (I finish every day by going home and playing with my son and watching him laugh!). I couldn't tell you how many times I went back to a crackhead house to ask if I could give the kids some toys and drop off a package of diapers. Again, I was just making a point about how some of the kids are f--ked for life. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these poor children you mention...most (not all) will comprise the next generation of negligent crackhead parents. Viscious cycle. But what can be done?

Yeah, but not giving them welfare/Social Security benefits isn't going to stop them from breeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
