I'm gonna be a temporary Dad.

[sinewave]

My little 3 year old nephew was beaten by his mom's boyfriend and taken away from her for three months. My wife and I are going to be taking turns caring for him with the rest of my wife's family for the next couple of weeks until the grandparents get back from a cruise. I feell really bad for the little guy. I saw him last night and his face is covered in multi-colored bruises and he's got more on his arms and back. He's doing okay, though. He's in pretty good spirits and nothing's broken, so he'll be fine physically, but may have some emotional scarring from it. My wife's sister is a loser. She's got a learning disorder as a result of infant alcohol syndrome, or whatever it's called, and she's basically just a lazy, uneducated welfare mom. The kids is really sweet and fun to be around, but he drew the short straw as far as moms go. I'm thinking that eventually the mom is going to end up in jail, along with the boyfriend, and the grandparents will end up gaining custody of him. I'm really not a violent person, but if I ever see that guy again I'll have a hard time restraining myself from kicking his ass.

 

[Hudson]

you should find him and kick his ass.
Sorry to hear about the little kid's mother, it's a great thing you're doing by taking care of him.

 

[Iceman]

Poor kid. Hopefully better times are ahead for him.

 

[KingOfDreams]

Well, you can't choose your parents. But still, it's good he got out of that situation. Beating a 3-year-old is completely uncalled for. I hope the guy's in jail.

 

[maxwell's demon]

aw man. that sounds awful. I'm glad you're able to take care of him. learn him of the indie ways.

 

[sinewave]

thanks for the kind words, all.

don't worry max, i'll ween him on a steady diet of indie rock in hopes of vanquishing the demons of his mom's failed attempts at parenting.

 

[Malice]

anyone who beats a 3 year old should be flogged mercilessly for about 7 days with no reprieve.

 

[Boom]

That's not enough.

Castrate him, amputate his arms, THEN flog him mercilessly for about 7 days with no reprieve.

 

[sinewave]

no argument here, malice.

Are you handing any temporary cigars to celebrate?

I do hope the kid will be all right.
I can send you my nephew if you need him.

Poor little guy.

that sucks man, I hate ****ing cowards like that.... if he lives in Wisconsin let me know, my crippled ass would ****ing kick his sorry ass to the curb, and I'd do that in a wheelchair... men that beat on children and women deserve nothing more then to be beaten untill they almost are dead

I would do worse then that to him.... i'd beat him untill he's almost dead, let him recover, then do it again and again and again

 

[squeekness]

Yeah, there should be some kind of special punishment system for anyone who damages a child like that. Even though he is so young, he will undoubtedly be scarred mentally forever.

What if he runs uphill?

 

[JokerNick]

What if he runs uphill?

that's why I would buy a taser.. zap him down

only the explody kind of cigars.

thanks for the kind words and everything, but you can keep your nephew, he sounds like a weiner.

He's generally a good kid, but he's hanging around with *****es.

Since some of you think I'm a *****e, that really says something.

Well, don't spoil the kid or anything, but give him lots of extra hugs and attention. He's going to need them. If you're lucky, the time he spends with your family and away from that bad situation could be very good for him.

 

[Sensi]

I am so sorry this has happen to him. At least, he is in loving hands now and hopefully through that love the physical and emotional scars will vanish.

 

[Drakon]

Poor kid.

 

[sinewave]

Don't worry, we'll give him the love he needs. My wife thinks of him as a son anyway. He's one of her only blood relatives, since her and her sister have the same mom and were adopted together. She loves the crap out of that little guy and was completely heartbroken when she found out about this. The kid is very lucky to have a really great, loving family around him, aside from his mother.

 

[The Watchman]

You have a chance to be a positive influence in his life - a life that by the sounds of it won't be the very good - so make the best of this oportunity and be aware of the power you have to affect him.

 

[Dew k. Mosi]

Well, don't spoil the kid or anything

I disagree. Spoil that baby rotten.

 

[NOFX]

That's not enough.

Nah thats too harsh, only if he does something sexually to the kid.
