Steve,
Yes, she did have stupid written all over her, which is exactly why the perp picked her.
I don't want to come down too hard on the mom, though. I've known many a teenage mom (heck, I even married one) who is just so exhausted and overwhelmed with what's gone on, and has no experience on what to expect, that they are ripe for just this sort of scum.
The perp did it right. UMC has those sensor things that enable them to know exactly where in the hospital any given newborn is. Therefore, the scumbagette used the hospital environment to befriend the mom and dad, learn their address (which told her that they were not wealthy by any means, and therefore possibly not well educated and thus more vulnerable). Then after they are released, she visits the home. Again, not unusual, as either UMC or the local health department will do a couple or three home visits on teenage or young moms to ensure that the baby will be safe and also to give some education to the mom on how to take care of the baby on her own. So when this broad shows up, it's not entirely unexpected. The best thing the mom did was to say that she would accompany the perp to the "sister's" house. Had her little boy not distracted her, I can't help but wonder what the perp might've done. As it was, the little boy offered her the opportunity to take the baby and run. Actually, I get frightened thinking about what might've happened had the mom gone with the perp to the "sister's" house. We know that there was at least one male involved in the crime, and quite possibly two other people as well. Was there a trap of some sort waiting at this house? Or someone around the corner ready to knock out mom and take the baby and maybe the boy as well?
Regardless, I'm relieved beyond words that the baby was recovered and is still in good health.
Plus, I always knew that Amarillo folks was good folks, calling in that tip like someone did. Just wonder where and what's the connection between there and here.
Oh, btw, I'll be working a bit closer to your locale on a day-to-day basis starting in August. Be the new 7th grade English teacher in Plainview.

I was wondering what the connection to Amarillo was, too. Regardless, everything's good now and hopefully these parents - and others - learned an immensely valuable lesson. Gonna tackle teaching and Plainview, eh? My prayers are with you, neighbor :)

OK, Jack/Choux/whatever your name is, I'm calling you out:
Post, if you will, point by point what exactly is offensive
AND
what in my post justifies you labeling me a racist.
I'll post this here and as a follow up. I think everyone needs to see your justification (or lack thereof) to back up your statement.

You are a racist and a hater.
***Your words speak for themselves.***

Your repetition of previously stated allegations reek of ignorance.
State your case, if you have one.

YOU AND your buddies who like to bash black people;;;keep your racism off ***the Public Board***.

Prove anything I've said is racist and I will.
You see, it's a little difficult to place much merit in your opinion of a post, when by your own admission, you don't read the whole thing to get context, intent, conclusions, etc. I quote:
>>I give excellent answers considering I don't read the cr*p *some* post here. Reading one sentence is usually enough!<<
So, you don't read entire posts, you hurl allegations at anything you think you don't agree with, and refuse to clearly state any sort of support for those ridiculous allegations.
Again, put it up here, and I'll respond.
For someone who tries to come across as very intelligent and tolerant, you sure have a way of not backing up your claims, and certainly don't want to enter into a discussion or debate of the topic.

I once saw a tee shirt that said :
'So many right wing Christians .so few lions . '
I wonder if that could be considered hate speech . Nah .
