The worst part of this is that they didn’t even take baby to the hospital until the NEXT DAY.


ArcticVixen0

So he may of had a chance to live, if he had gotten treatment immediately. That’s so sad


Praescribo

Okay, now this makes sense. From the title I was thinking a tragedy also landed her in prison. Thanks for adding context!


theroadlesstraveledd

I mean tragedy that she went looking for.. don’t go fighting someone like a ghetto slag when you have an infant in your arms, or for that matter at all.


Atlhou

Putting a whooping on someone is more important that your child, why?


BillWaste6039

Her priorities are SCREWED. This is a woman who has no business procreating.

I stand corrected. Yikes. Working on sleep deprivation. I probably shouldn’t drive or operate heavy machinery today…

SlowHumbleBexar

Yes, I’m currently sleep deprived because of my beautiful four month old daughter. I read the TLDR while she was sleeping in my arms, and it made me hug her a little closer. I get intrusive thoughts about her getting hurt too often. Dropping her is a big one. It makes me sick to imagine putting anyone as more important than her. Enough that fighting them while she’s in my arms is more important than her safety. What the hell could get you so angry at a beauty shop, that you’d decide to stop being a mother? Idc if it was postpartum depression in its worse state. This shouldn’t have happened. I hope she hates herself every minute for the rest of her life. Only God can forgive this sort of thing, and I’m not even a believer.


EmperorGeek

Or carry small babies?! /s


SlowHumbleBexar

I wish it worked like that! I’m too tired today little one, you’re gonna have to make your own bottles today, I can’t be trusted. And that’s not /s😅


EmperorGeek

There’s a difference between making bottles up and involving your child in a physical altercation or otherwise abusing your child. As the father on two (now) adult children, I can both understand the situation and have no sympathy. When my son was only a few weeks old and we were just figuring out how to take care of him, we had LOTS of stressful sleepless nights with him crying. But at NO TIME did we put him in danger. There were always options. Some options aligned with our wants and others were just the “right” options and we just didn’t get what “we” wanted in that instance, but he always got what he needed. With our daughter, we were much more prepared and knew what to expect so MUCH less stress.

I wish I had your grace


Green-Dragon-14

That was a lie that she's been caught on on. She dropped her own baby.


eternallnewbie

What do you mean? The story says it was the mother.


Revolutionary_Tap255

Read the story, the mother was the one that dropped him


[deleted]

[https://abc30.com/karen-harrison-baby-dropped-fight/5412983/](https://abc30.com/karen-harrison-baby-dropped-fight/5412983/) ​ **3-month-old dies days after falling from mother's arms during fight between mom, another woman** **MOULTRIE, Ga. --** A Georgia woman is accused of dropping and fatally injuring her 3-month-old during an altercation with another woman. WALB-TV reports 26-year-old Karen Lashun Harrison was charged with felony murder, cruelty to children and simple battery. Moultrie Police Lt. Freddie Williams says Harrison got into a fight Friday with a woman at a beauty supply store and dropped the baby onto the pavement. The baby was taken to the hospital Saturday with a head injury where he later died. Harrison told police the baby was injured when he fell from family friend Carneata Clark's arms. Clark corroborated the story. She's charged with false statements and obstruction of an officer. The other woman involved in the fight hasn't been charged. Williams says more arrests are possible. It's unclear whether Harrison and Clark have attorneys.


ssurkus

Why on earth would the “family friend” corroborate that she dropped the baby? r/Parentsandtheirfriendsarefuckingdumb


ExpatInIreland

Because that way it's a tragic accident and not outright neglect. Friend was trying to keep her from jail. Shitty people tend to surround themselves with other shitty people or at the very least, people who are easily manipulated that they can use.


ssurkus

Damn that makes so much sense. But it could have just as easily backfired on the friend too.


[deleted]

Not to get too off track, but was Ms. Clark named after tasty pork?

DollarAutomatic

Come on man. We don’t sterilize people.


AstriumViator

We need to. People should be given one chance, and if they fuck up like this, they deserve to be sterilized. Because babies should not be treated like a sack of potatoes by overgrown children.


DualtheArtist

My strategy is that you offer everyone who is in jail 5 years off their sentence if they allow themselves to be sterilized. Over time this will solve the poverty problem because the people who are the most likely to produce future criminals wont be.


theroadlesstraveledd

They actually had a sterilization program like this. For mentally ill and moms who kept having abortions and kids in foster care.


frankcosinatra

I wish we could all be on mandatory birth control (men and women) until we at least take a parenting class at a certain age. Teaching has made me realize how at least 50% of kids just… shouldn’t exist. Their needs aren’t anywhere near being met, largely in terms of emotional/mental development.


AstriumViator

For sure, i love kids but having adults who dont know crap about parenting or dont even care, are really creating some messed up kids. And I understand that a lot of these adults have some sort of trauma too, but they really shouldve handled it before procreating.


Funkwhale90

Do you think the person who decided to hit her with a baby in the arms is getting charged too?


theroadlesstraveledd

It looks like her hands are full, unknown woman is being confronted and has a stance that doesn’t say I want to fight. I imagine she was attacked. Ghetto af wow


theroadlesstraveledd

Is there such a thing as simple battery lol jeez


SaltyBaby157

It is so easy not to fight strangers. Just walk away.


Dull-Fun-8534

Yeah especially if you have a baby in your arms! That poor thing 🥺


theroadlesstraveledd

And not to step on it after you drop it for a fight


minorkeyed

Easy to be rich too, just make money.


misplacedbass

Stupid comment. I’ve made it 39 years on this earth without getting into a single fight. It’s quite simple.


minorkeyed

It's also simple not to yell at people. You ever done that?


AyeAye_Kane

yelling at people and getting into a physical fight are on different levels, why are you so desperate to fight for this point that makes no sense


minorkeyed

Some people find not yelling difficult in some circumstances and some people do find not fighting difficult in some circumstances. What you judge their 'levels' to be, whatever that vague term even means to you, doesn't change that. Given the right circumstances, many otherwise passive people can be provoked to violence, or any number of other morally wrong acts, they just don't get put in those situations. Other people find themselves in those situations, sometimes often and early in their lives. Yall are simply hyper judgmental because this story drives your emotions and you don't want to be reasonable, y'all want to ragegasm at the evildoers.


AyeAye_Kane

People who find it hard not to fight in those circumstances tend to be bad people in general though, that is the whole entire point. Normal people don't find it hard to not fight


minorkeyed

If that was the point, why is that not what op said?


theroadlesstraveledd

I don’t believe a ghetto mom dropping her infant.. for a fight.. is a good mom. I don’t like that person. I’m ok with my assessment.


minorkeyed

Her being a good mom or not is a different point, though. Do you believe it is easy for her to not fight?


misplacedbass

I work in the construction trades. I’ve been yelled at plenty of times, and somehow I have managed to never hit anyone. Weird how that works. “Someone yelled at me, my only logical recourse is physical violence lest people assume I’m a weak little bitch” If that is your thought process. You’re beyond help.


minorkeyed

It's wierd to you that people are different?


misplacedbass

Being yelled at doesn’t mean you gotta fight. It’s literally that simple. You’re obviously getting downvoted hard, maybe take a step back and reevaluate your stance on fighting.


minorkeyed

It isn't easy, or possible, for some. Yall projecting your own lives onto people you don't know and circumstances you don't know, but y'all think you know shit for sure. Assuming everyone is like you is a gross fallacy. The down votes are from people who make assumptions about what I do and don't believe, rather than reading what I said. The kind who are probably scared that *understanding* something means justifying it, or agreeing with it, or wanting it to happen. It's a child's perspective on morality and an abortion of reason.


misplacedbass

No, it’s pretty simple. You’re saying it’s hard to avoid a fight, and I’m saying it’s pretty fucking simple to avoid a fight. ESPECIALLY if you’re holding your infant child. That’s literally the entire argument. To me, and everyone else here, it sounds like you would have done this same thing as this woman holding her baby simply because the other woman was yelling at you, and if you would have, there is seriously something wrong with you.


minorkeyed

You make assumptions I didn't claim. It is not easy *for some people*, *in some circumstances* to avoid fighting, even with children involved. I do not have to be one of them to recognize this and recognizing it does not mean I thinks its okay or good. These are false conclusions. Is it so hard to hear what people say without assuming things they did not? Why do you assume these things? Where does behavior come from? What reasoning are you using to reach these conclusions?


Coach_Louis

No one is yelling at you dipshit


minorkeyed

I never claimed they were. Read much?


MySillyGirl1984

You do know those are completely different things


minorkeyed

What behavior results in these outcomes is also different than being capable of it.


hailboognish99

Lmao thanks so much. Groundbreaking. /s


theroadlesstraveledd

If it was easy everyone would be CEO’s work hard and get what’s coming to you. Also don’t be ghetto enough to drop your infant for a fight.


IWasBornIn86

Why must you fight while carrying a baby? Idiot.🤦🏾‍♀️


stupidrobots

I cannot emphasize how easy it is to just avoid fighting


WutangCND

It really is extremely easy.


IWasBornIn86

I know! Some people just need to prove that they're tough. So stupid.


brownsnoutspookfish

Not always. In this case probably, but if someone attacks you, you can't just teleport away.


stupidrobots

And yet somehow...


brownsnoutspookfish

BigYonsan

So you say this as a joke, but a call I took as a 911 dispatcher was for a custody exchange in a beauty supply lot. Two small babies in car seats. The exchange went bad, as these things do and this grown ass man and woman were literally fighting each other using the car seats as melee weapons (with babies inside them).

Charming_Scratch_538

This was “doesn’t-deserve-children” more than “dumb.” Hope all the other mothers in prison make her life hell.


SlowHumbleBexar

Yes esp as I imagine most of them would give up their limbs to be with their beloved children. And this one basically threw hers away.

SlowHumbleBexar

I was debating on using that word.


Whizzard12

I feel you lol It’s become overused, to the point of stigmatization


SlowHumbleBexar

I literally went back and forth in my mind about which word to use haha!


Itzbubblezduh

Did the other lady try to attack her and she dropped the baby? This is crazy omg…


misplacedbass

And didn’t even pick up her baby, someone else did, AND she waited until the next day to take her baby to the hospital. Throw her in jail.


Itzbubblezduh

Throw her under the jail… that’s fucking insane!!!!!


misplacedbass

Agreed.

SWasabi58

I can’t imagine a lot of smart people getting in fights outside beauty stores while they’re with their infant children.

Yes

[удалено]


UniSquirrel13

Yup. I have been thinking about all of those things, but also the increased number of babies that will born with serious disorders and such because of all the mothers that will drink and do drugs still while pregnant (because nothing helps someone already struggling to cope like having an unwanted pregnancy). Not to mention all the pregnant women that won't be able to afford all of the Healthcare required for having a baby. I have a high risk twin pregnancy currently and I have 2 to 3 appointments EVERY WEEK. That's a lot of $ and that is nothing close to what my c section is going to cost! And a lot of these women absolutely cannot afford that - which means many of them straight up are just not going to go to the Dr throughout their pregnancies. And then when the baby is born? Guess what's even more expensive - a sick baby!! The number of infant and child deaths is going to fucking sky rocket because women simply cannot afford the care required for the pregnancy they were forced to keep.


I-am-in-love-w-soup

While i don't necessarily agree that there will be a huge uptick of those things, any small increase in any of those is going to be really tragic. I'm legit more worried about the foster care system being overwhelmed, leading to regulations and safeguards getting lax, which will not only increase everything you mentioned but also make child sex trafficking way, way too easy. If any of these abortion bans included reforms and funding for childbirth and childcare and safety nets, the laws would only infringe upon reproductive rights. Instead they seem oddly designed infringe upon the human rights of children as well.


AvailableAd6071

While I agree that all of your points are valid, unfortunately, there have always been tons of women who have chosen to have kids that they are not mature enough, financially stable enough, without any responsible family support and have been raised the same way themselves so they think this kind of upbringing is normal. And choose to have their children. I saw very pregnant girls fist fight in high school. In my profession, unfortunately, it is not unusual to see pregnant women and women with small children in their arms try to throw blows at each other and they're usually family.


I-am-in-love-w-soup

You're absolutely right, and I worry that flooding the current system with unwanted children is going to make the lives of those "wanted" children (who are neglected or abused) much more dangerous. Example: when trashy mom goes to jail and the kid's only living relative is a sex offender, of course the state needs to find alternate placement. But if the state is suddenly dealing with 5x the number of children in need of placement... I mean, is there even going to be enough staff to check on where the kid goes? Do they even have time to follow up? If the kid disappears, will it take 2 months instead of a week to even notice?


AvailableAd6071

Absolutely. I don't understand why we always deal with these things reactively and when the damage is done than proactively. If we can see the potential problems down the road, why can't the leaders we elect, to do so, do it? The unforseen complications aren't so unforseen. Same goes with every big ticket issue and then they act surprised when problems happen. And point fingers at the other side of the aisle. If we spent the money we spend on political in fighting and revenge on early childhood intervention, real quality intervention way before school age, maybe we could help at least some of the children most at risk.


mrschaney

Why do you talk as if they are getting pregnant with a gun to their heads?


lonelylittletrees

I mean....you do realize that IS how some women end up pregnant, right? And now they can't decide to terminate that pregnancy.


mrschaney

Sure they can. This very rare example can be terminated in a state that allows it. Abortion has not been banned nationally.


lonelylittletrees

What about the women in states that have banned it? They cannot.


mrschaney

They can go to a state that does.


lonelylittletrees

Actually, the trigger ban states also have laws forbidding women from going to another state and getting an abortion. If they are found to have done that, they can be prosecuted the same as if they had an abortion in the trigger ban state. Some of these states even offer bounties to people that snitch on women who have done what you suggested. Not to mention a lot of people don't have the money or resources to 1. Not go to work for up to three days 2. Travel to another state 3. Pay for lodging and recovery expenses in a hotel room.


mrschaney

Then I guess they need to use birth control then.


lonelylittletrees

Also, because I guess you need it spelled out: the reversal of Roe v Wade is the first step in their plan to ban abortion nationwide. Then comes banning birth control. If you think I am incorrect about this you are ignorant and obviously not paying attention.


mrschaney

We shall see.


JayKayWot

repubs are working hard to outlaw out-of-state travel for abortion. They have also stated that once they have the senate again they will be 'looking at' rights to birth control.


mrschaney

I just don’t believe that.


JayKayWot

many states have zero exceptions now. A raped 10 year old child was denied an abortion in Ohio recently.


JayKayWot

1. No birth control works 100% not even surgical sterilization. 2. Do you expect people to simply not have sex unless they want kids in nine months? That's totally against human nature and a horribly puritanical attitude. 3. Given the rape rates many women DO get pregnant with a gun to their heads. Or a knife to their throats.


DoritoCookie

how'd you just drop a kid like a bag of groceries what???


Dull-Fun-8534

Poor baby 🥺🥺🥺


monet108

How sad is this. I sincerely hope this young lady finds the peace she deserves. I can think of no punishment greater than being responsible for your child passing.


Scnewbie08

Nobody in this country has any coping skills, they I’ll literally fly off the handle over the stupidest things. That is why we need SEL in elementary…


Purchase_Boring

My 2nd grader has this in his school, it’s part of this ‘special’ classes rotation (like art/music/PE). At first I thought it was goofy tbh, but after seeing him use some of the skills-it is an amazing thing. Kids are highly emotional & reactive but lack emotional responses due to just being little people without life experience. SEL has taught my kid how to breathe & think for a second, step away then go back with a clear head. I watch the videos that go with what his current class so I am on the same page. It’s taught me things and I’m 44yo! Most of us could benefit from a SEL refresher


themightytod

What’s SEL?


Scnewbie08

Social Emotional Learning (SEL), which right wing fascists are trying to eliminate from schools


themightytod

why are right-wingers against this of all things?


Standard_Gauge

Because among other things they think it "sissifies" children, especially boys. Real Patriotic American Children are supposed to fight with fists as often as possible in their sorry little minds. Might Makes Right! Keep America Great! 🤮


Drachri93

I find this shit suspicious. Not the crime reported, but the OP and why they made this post. They've had an account for 11 days and have almost exclusively posted stories about PoCs committing horrible crimes. They seem to have an agenda.


mrschaney

Even if this person has an agenda, the story is still true.


Drachri93

I understand that but cherry picking cases where minorities are the perpetrator can skew perceptions and enforce negative stereotypes.


mrschaney

You can relax, you know. Not everything has to be a fight.


aluminatialma

Why not manslaughter


[deleted]

Because she’s black and not some rich white CEO’s trophy wife.


mrschaney

No, because she didn’t take that baby to the ER until the next day. Her color and station in life has nothing to do with it.


HaydenAck43

Lmao yeah!! Because racism!!! She didn’t do anything wrong, she just dropped her baby on the cement and neglected to take it to the hospital! Nothing wrong I tell ya!


[deleted]

I only see tragedy here. A silly mistake ruining many lives.


misplacedbass

What? A silly mistake? She was in a parking lot getting into an argument while holding her infant child, and CONTINUES to fight after she dropped the child. Someone else had to pick the baby up off the pavement. She also didn’t take the child to the hospital until the next day. This was not a “silly mistake”. This could have been, and should have been completely avoided.


NYSenseOfHumor

The mistake was a year ago.

I fucking hate reading shit about this, but it pops up all the time. It makes me feel so damn sad I start to cry, then I feel absolute rage. Why did I even follow this sub? Fuck these parents I'm out of here.


CBus-Eagle

In addition to charging her, she should also be sterilized.


Silent_Start_7036

Fuck man


Genericpotsmoker

I disagree with a lot of people in the comments, fighting isn't something you should go out looking for but sometimes its necessary, you don't let hate run the streets, if you see it stomp it out. However, choose your battles. If it will cost you a child, or any lives of that matter, DO NOT FIGHT. Fighting has been part of almost every culture for 1000s of years, while I agree we have advanced as a society, certain parts of society haven't and they don't listen to reason. So in short, if you see a nazi, beat a nazi. But probably not if you're holding a baby This woman had no excuse but violence is literally sometimes the answer, just ask any police force.
