Today In Parenting: America Can't Stop Eating Its Young

What this planet needs is about three billion more parents like these to eliminate the dead weight of their children, who will no doubt be even stupider (if it's even possible to be that degenerate) than their moronic parents. (I am not a geneticist, but common sense applies here dunnit? Whatever. Nature or nurture, the kids are all fucked.)

Maryland medical examiner's office says a Hagerstown, Md., woman and her 2 young daughters found dead in a hot car died from accidental heatstroke - @AP

At least "mom" won't have to pretend she gave a shit about her spawn or that she "just forgot the kids" (I hate people who call human children, especially their own, "kids." They aren't goats, dammnit!) or anything else. How the hell could an adult let that happen to herself, let alone her (not really very) "precious" children?

Then this. What the hell? I know most people are idiots, people in North Carolina perhaps more so than in the civilized world (That's a joke, I really just mean California.) but ... I dunno. Not a lawyer or croaker, but such people must hate themselves, or are just too cretinous to live. No great loss either way.

Police say they arrested a 41-year-old Charlotte woman accused of helping her teen son set himself on fire as part of a dare known as the "fire challenge" that is gaining popularity in social media.

Participants in the challenge pour flammable liquids on themselves and set them ablaze, hopefully extinguishing the flames before they burn the skin.

A spokesman for the Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill says the hospital has had a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old in the past three weeks with serious burns from the challenge.

Police say Janie Talley's 16-year-old son suffered minor burns when he panicked after setting himself on fire. Others had to help him put out the fire, which was videotaped and posted online.

Talley was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor [sic] It wasn't known if she had a lawyer.

Hey AP, you gonna sue me for stealing your big fucking deal copyrighted crap? (Can't get blood from a turnip, & I'm the world's biggest turnip, so bring it on, you euphemizing sacks of shit.)

Let's throw this in too, as reminded by correspondent Weird Dave four items down:
