i got word last night that my great nephew is close to death. his mother and i love her dearly was out running around and drunk when her husband went and found her and brought her home. well to make matters worse when he got her home at 6 a.m. they got into a big fight. she was drunk and he was sitting on the couch playing play station.
she got mad and jerked the cables out of the tv the bad thing is when she did the 32" tv fell on my great nephew and went into a coma. her being drunk and her husband a total idiot didn't take the baby to the hospital until a friend told them there was a problem. ignorance is not bliss. they told the friend that the baby was asleep and nothing was wrong. well the little guy is on life support and they are talking about taking him off the ventilator to see if he support his breathing on his own. they expect him to die which is sad. what really pisses me off is they thought not once about the child and i know drinking can dull the senses but the husband who is sober doesn't rush the child to the hospital. i love my neice but right now i am pissed off and if i saw her she would feel the wrath of my anger or should i say rage.
that little boy is only 16 months old and never hurt anyone and now we may be going to a funeral. she is in mental institution and has gone over the hill knowing what she did. as for him hell who knows i am sad for both my neice for having a problem with alcohol and othen the burden of having to live it down that she may of killed her own son but at the same time i am really raging over the fact that she did what she did and then i am guessing felt it was more about her and in her drunk state of mind didn't see the child as injured but for her husband he is just plain stupid and he should also go up on charges for neglect as i am guessing they will do to my neice.
if your a drinker i would read this story several times and take it in what can happen to you when your drinking and drunk. the child is gone but i pray god ntervenes and brings this little boy back to us andhe is brought back to normal life but my heart tells me different
don';t drink around your children and if you have a problem where your drunk in the morning get help. whether you meant it or notif you have children you put them in peril for their life. and don'[t say it won't ever happen to me. i can bet you a million dollars she never expect that tv to come off the stand
think no alcohol and remember your children they should be first not alcohol

I'm so sorry for your great nephew and I will pray for him constantly. I come from a family of drunks. I know the pain. God be with your family.

So sorry to hear. It is so sad when parents are not responsible, and the kids suffer.

I hope others will read this as well.

This is a real tragedy, and my heart and prayers go out to you and your family, but alcohol is not the only culprit here. Too many times, young people start a family before they are emotionally ready for the responsibility. I apologize if what I'm about to say offends you, but your niece chose to leave her baby with an idiot while she went out and got hammered. Alcohol only makes bad decisions worse, but the booze didn't MAKE her leave a baby to go out and have a good time. It's easy to blame something like alcohol, when the blame actually lies elsewhere.

Again, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm saddened to hear this robk. I can only hope and pray that something good can come of this. I'm so sorry, it's so heartbreaking when things like this happen.

Boy, I'm glad I quit drinking. My girls are 9 &11 and I have been dry for 15 years now. I am so glad my kids (or my wife) have never seen me be the total idiot I used to be. I am also glad that by the grace of God I never hurt anyone back then.

Your family is in my prayers Robk. This is truly a tragic event.
