Open season on kids
You've got to wonder if some primeval population-control instinct is kicking in as Utahns get crowded tighter and tighter between the Wasatch mountains and the Great Lake. Like lemmings swarming off cliffs or eskimos putting their elderly on ice floes to float on into oblivion.Seems like children, who apparently are in surplus around here, are being left in cars to die on a weekly basis.
• Certifiable knucklehead David Farnham leaves his son in a parked car while he attends a midnight showing of Dark Knight. Farnham tells officers he left the child in the car with the windows rolled up "so the child could not be taken out." (It sounds like one of the Joker's psychotic gags). Two-year-old Justin survives.Thank our Heavenly Father that society has grown beyond the eye-for-eye concept of justice. Otherwise, somebody would suggest the parents in these cases be sentenced to being locked in a car in sun-blasted Sears parking lot, with the windows rolled up so they couldn't "be taken out."
• A week ago, a couple leaves their child asleep in a car parked outside the Sears in Salt Lake. The kid is treated at a hospital for dehydration. Police report that neither parent ''seemed upset at the circumstances."
• In May, multi-level marketer Kamilyn Kartchner Hadley kills her infant son by leaving him outside in an ovenlike car while she makes a business call. She gets probation.
• In April, 18-month-old Myles Gailey's mom left him in the back of her car after a shopping trip. Three hours later, she remembers him. He is dead. No charges are filed against mom, Jana Gailey.

If people used mass transit, this would not be an issue.

Good note, Glen. I can't explain parents' attitudes, but I am in agreement that we no longer perform an eye for an eye, etc.
God knows, the parents are suffering and will suffer more than any of us can comprehend.
God will forgive them. So should we.
Extremely stupid is as stupid does.
In addition to whatever criminal penalties are imposed on these gene-pool rejects, mandatory sterilization should be imposed.
Not that I'm a fan of multi-level marketing but what the heck, Glen. That's out of place. Unless you're trying to get in some snarky backhanded jab. Wait, you wouldn't do something like that.
Glen, you have proof that these were all Mormons?
I think the best follow up story to these tragedies would be how quickly the parents in each case churn out another baby.
I'll bet it's within a year.
You'd think they might think twice about their parenting skills in these cases, but I doubt it.
Multiplying and replenishing. And replenishing. And multiplying.
