Hey Casey, "Who's the Dad?"

I'm not sure how many of you have followed the Casey Anthony saga but she is the mother of a three year old girl, Caylee, who had been missing for six months. She made no attempt to provide useful information to aid the police as they looked for her child. Recently the worst possible outcome came to pass and the little girls remains were found. Miss Anthony has exhibited a penchant for lying and did so at every opportunity during the search. Needless to say but she has been charged with the child's murder. But what really sparked an emotion was the reaction of her former fiance, Jesse Grund. He had originally been told that he was Caylee's father but once again that was another of Casey's fabrications. Both he and his family had become attached to the little girl only to be discarded like the trash when it became an inconvenient arrangement for Casey. Thank god that he took a DNA test to be sure that he was not the biological father but here was a man that was there from the beginning and was grieving like any father.

I have one request Casey, please tell the truth about who the real father is so that he can have the opportunity to say "goodbye".

Thanks all and have a great holiday!

You are NOT the Father!

"You are NOT the Father!" It is amazing the reaction that these few words can elicit. For some men the obvious reaction is joy and relief but for some it is extreme sadness, disappointment and pain. In some cases, the disappointment is not with the man but with his family members who were absolutely sure he was the father but that is not the case. Sometimes I think the most premature question is " what will you do if this is NOT your child?". How can you be expected to answer such a question when many times these men are hearing that there is a problem for the first time and haven't even had time to absorb the consequences. I think the worst situation is when people have had time to bond with the child and then learn that they have been duped or betrayed. No one ever seems to think about those people.

The pain of these people is deep and effects them mentally and physically. I know that I beat the drum for mandatory DNA testing but isn't it better for these people to know the truth at the beginning so they are aware of the situation they are getting into or is it better to wait and create a convoluted situation?

I prefer to get the pain out of the way and then make a decision. What do you think?

Have a great evening!

We're of Like Mind!

I read a blog today that expresses exactly how I feel. I was glad to see that the frustration and amazement that I feel for this subject was not only mine. I understand how the author felt and I can relate to how dirty you feel after watching such a display of stupidity.

The url for this blog is http://kittyscattitude.spaces.live.com/?_c11_BlogPart_BlogPart=blogview&_c=BlogPart&partqs=cat%3DWho's%2BMy%2BBaby's%2BDaddy%253f . I recommend that you take a moment to read it. I was especially glad that it was written by a woman because it takes the argument about gender bias out of the equation.

Some people are just dumb and selfish but it is a shame that these qualities combine to hurt someone so new to the world, the child.

Maybe we should issue a test or license for people to be able to have children, we do that for people who want to be able to drive. Would that be a trip?

I hope the children learn from the stupidity of their mother's and go on to be better people.

Got To Have Some Fun Sometimes

Personally, I view this as a serious issue but I found this skit and I found it amusing and I hope you do also.
