Has it really come to this?

Are things so desperate in our Republic that mothers are willing to sacrifice their children for ........ CARDBOARD??



An Alabama woman has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child after police say she let her daughter ride in a cardboard box on top of their van. Albertville Police spokesman Sgt. Jamie Smith said the 37-year-old woman was arrested Sunday after police received a call about a minivan on a state highway with a child riding on top.

Smith said the woman told police the box was too big to go inside the van, and that her daughter was inside the box to hold it down.


No Mom could be that callous, could they? There surely must be some mitigating circumstance, some justification. What's that Maam?

Smith said the mother told officers it was safe because she had the box secured to the van with a clothes hanger.

See, I told you!

We let the Clampetts put grandma up in a rocking chair, so who are we to judge.
