Some People Don't Deserve To Be Parents

I am putting a personal spin on this blog. I wanted to share a story about a cousin of mine. My cousin, Dusty, is 19 years old and she is set on letting her life turn out like her mother's. When Dusty was a young girl, she was taken away from her mother and had to go live with her grandma. Her mother, Angie, had a really bad drug problem. She had done meth all her life and so that is why Dusty has lived with grandma all of her life. Angie died a few years in a car accident when her and her "meth dealer" boyfriend hit another car and died instantly. Although Dusty had lived with grandma all her life, Angie was still a part of her life. Angie would come see her and attend her birthday parties up until the day she died. Since Dusty had been faced with this life, everyone has always tried to make it easy for her. In the last few years, Dusty has found out who her real dad is. His name is James Nichols, he is one of Lamar, MO's well known lawyers. Dusty wanted to go live with him for a while to see what it would be like. James and his wife would take Dusty to the mall and get her expensive name brand clothes and just about anything else she wanted. It still wasn't enough for Dusty. She ran away from home with her boyfriend at the time. The Kansas City police picked her up alongside the highway and took her into the station and called her dad. James went and picked her up and took her home. I know James, he is a very soft spoken person and I don't believe that he yelled at her. I imagine he did try to have a talk with her about the situation, but it seems that Dusty didn't want to listen. Dusty just does as she pleases. After she ran away from James's for the second time, grandma made her come back and live with her. Since then, Dusty had gotten it in her head that she wanted to have a baby, drop out of school, and find a man to marry and have the "perfect little life". This is Dusty's past history. The reason I have labeled this blog "Some People Don't Deserve To Be Parents" is because Dusty has achieved her plan, but in the most horrible way possible. Dusty got her wish and had a baby boy about a month and a half ago. She married this boy that is her age,19, and he is a very discusting person. I remember this kid in high school. I think I was a senior when he was a freshman. He was in my band class and he would stuff pizza, from lunchtime in the school cafeteria, into his backpack and would eat it three weeks later! He doesn't take a bath either. His name is Steven. Anyway, Dusty is married to Steven and they are the parents of the baby boy. My mom got Dusty a job out at the dog kennel that she works at, because Dusty was having trouble paying her bills and Steven doesn't have a job. Dusty quit the kennel after working there for only a week! The reason she quit was because Steven doesn't want her up there. He is very controlling and lies to her all the time. He didn't want her up there working because there is another boy that works up there and Steven doesn't want Dusty around him. This boy doesn't even know Dusty and has never even bothered her or anything. While Dusty was working at the kennel, she developed a tooth ache and the owner of the kennel is married to a dentist, so she had her husband take a look at Dusty's teeth. The owner's husband said that the tooth was infected and that he was going to give her some anti-biotics and when she was out of them she needed to come back and see him to get the tooth pulled out or she was going to have worse problems. After Steven convinced her to quit the job at the kennel, he also convinced her not to go back to the dentist because he told her that if she got that tooth taken out then she would die. He told Dusty that it would kill her if the dentist took the tooth out. Dusty is very stupid so, of course, she believed Steven. Anyway, while she was at work, for that one whole week, Steven would be at home with the infant. Whenever the baby cries, Steven screams at it to shut-up. While Dusty was at work, Steven would set the baby in the baby swing that they have and would leave the baby there until Dusty came home. He wouldn't feed him or change his diaper. He would just leave him in the swing all day and scream at him to shut-up.When Dusty would get home, the baby would be starving and have a huge overflowing dirty diaper. When Dusty picks him up because he is crying, Steven will get jealous and yank him out of Dusty's arms and put him back in the swing. When my mom told me all of this I just burst into tears. That poor baby! I could never ever do that to my daughter! Actually, my daughter is a bit on the spoiled side because we hold her so much! It just made me very sad and angry to hear that Steven was doing that to his own son and that Dusty would sit by and allow it. My mom asked Dusty why she doesn't just leave Steven and she said "because I'm with him for better or for worse". I am not the kind of person that would ever want to seperate a child from it's parents, but I don't think that Dusty and Steven deserve to have that baby. Where the hell is Dusty's motherly instincts? If somebody ever did anything to Macy, I would claw their face off like a mother bear! That poor little thing can't fend for itself! That's how a baby tells you that it needs something, by crying! They can't talk and tell you what they need and they sure as hell can't get it themselves! That's what the parents are for! I think that baby needs to be taken away from that awful place and placed somewhere where it will have the love and attention it needs and deserves! I think that Dusty needs to be shown what "tough love" is, because all her life everybody has just given her what she wants and has tried to make it easy on her, but I think that that is the prime reason as to why she has this false image of what real life is like. Life is not something that is easy and just gets handed to you on a platter. You have to work at it and make it into something. I think that Dusty thought it would all be a piece of cake and that everything would be perfect and be handed to her on that same platter. I honestly think that somebody needs to get in her face and let her know how it really is. Somebody needs to show her some tough "love". Anyway, Dusty's grandma owns the house across the street from her, grandma's, house so grandma is going to let Dusty move in over there so that she, grandma, can go over there and make sure they aren't mistreating the baby. Mom promised me that grandma and Aunt Lisa wouldn't let her and Steven mistreat that baby or they would see to it that something was done about it. I hope, for that baby's sake, that they straighten Dusty and Steven out. I don't know much about Dusty's grandma, but I do know my Aunt Lisa, and she can be a mean bitch, pardon my laanguauge, when it comes to situations like this. I know my Aunt Lisa will make sure that the baby is taken care of, even if she has to take him home with her! I just wanted to share this story and see what kind of comments or advice I get on the matter. I don't think they deserve to have that baby and that is my opinion. I just hope that somebody lets Dusty know that if that baby starves to death, then she and Steven are going to jail for murder. I hope to God that it doesn't come to that though. My Aunt would never let it get that bad. She would take the baby before it got that bad. I hope Dusty's tooth is really hurting her now though! My mom said she ran out of anit-biotics and still hasn't gotten the tooth taken out, all because of what Steven told her! If she doesn't get that tooth taken out, it will get worse and then she will die from it! She has an absses over the tooth and if it bursts open and she swallows that puss then it will kill her. The puss that is in that absses is a poison and, if swallowed, will kill you. I got that information from a dentist and I know it's the truth. She better wise up, because her "perfect little life" is fixing to come to a close!
