Oh, FFS! Harden up and get real.

‘Whanganui health officials are offering support to members of the public who witnessed a distraught senior medical staff member collapse over the death of her toddler…’
I am so sick and tired of this girly bullshit. What next, counseling for hearing about somebody witnessing a collapse in public?

    It wouldn’t be so bad, except that these “news” outlets routinely ignore important stories that don’t suit their agenda or their assumption that most of their readers are as thick as pig shit. :evil:
    How anybody who relies on newspapers and television for their “news” can regard themselves as informed is a mystery. Perhaps they’re simply too uninformed to know how uninformed they are?

    This is your average NZ bureaucrat. If they didn’t offer “counseling”, they fear the possibility of criticism for not doing so.

    Like 99% of ‘elf an’ safety enactments, it’s designed to protect bureaucrats from liability. Public welfare is irrelevant except as a specious justification.

    I sacked somebody for theft a few years ago. She decided to take me to the Employment Court for want of correct procedure. Her legal-aid bimbo loser masquerading as legal counsel stated (inter-alia) “that her dismissal was poorly executed due to my failure to find and pay for her counseling!” My thought was that I’d been unusually soft in that I allowed her to leave with her life! Anyway she wanted $5000 to assuage hurt feelings. She go zero, but I was still faced with paying for my lawyer! FFS! :evil:
    The death of the child in Wanganui was tragic parental neglect. OK we can all forget things at times but a child in your own car? Was the parent breath-tested? :?:

      I’m not at all surprised, Cad. The process – or the threat of the process – is the punishment.
      As for the mother concerned….I can accept that it’s possible to forget a sleeping child (although it amazes me that people do) but the outpouring of sympathetic articles makes me doubt she will be charged with manslaughter or similar. We’ll see.
      Had a father forgotten a child, however……

      • Cadwallader says:

        Exactly: There has been no mention of a father. Has he been offered counselling? Had he deserted the mother? Is he a person unknown? These thoughts seldom fit the feminazi agenda.
        There has been no clarification whether the child was asleep. I question whether it would’ve been as it was early in the day and the child would not have long been awake. Was it in a child restraint in a rear seat? There are lots of unanswered questions and I believe the mother should be charged if for no other reason but to have these basic thoughts dealt with.

    So I have just finished reading this and am upset, can I invoice the NZ govt. for “feeling” bad about this? Who should I send the bill to?

    Men are being feminised, we have some dozy tart of a politician here suggesting that boys play with dolls more so that they may consider a career in caring. During WWII bombed out families were given a cuppa and cot beds at the Sally Anne. No bleeding heart blood suckers. As for tarts in uniform, Fred on everything has an article up.

    Somehow, pointing towards Fred just isn’t quite as satisfying as pointing to Remus (pbuh, you know what I mean). Fred writes some good stuff.

      Agree, Andy. Fred is a fine writer, but Remus…kinda resonated, somehow. Plus, he’s a helluva nice guy.

            I have a buddy who was a spotter pilot in Vietnam,as a result he’s a little off,but not from being a spotter :mrgreen:

            He was auditioning for a welding gig at a local stainless steel fab shop when he met up with who we referred to as attila the hun,an old cranky cast iron bitch who was the company HR rep.

            Attila that day was in rare form and was reading him the riot act because he had missed filling out two pages of his application.My bud told her he would do it later since the welding inspector passed him and he did all the hiring anyway.
            Matilda reared back on her hind legs and insisted he had to finish the paperwork then and there or she would see to it he didn’t get the job.

            Personality clash in 5…4…3..2..1 that’s when he stood up,flipped it out and started pissing in the trash can next to her desk.Of course she took offense,it was her can to piss in afterall,and said-“SURELY YOU AREN’T URINATING IN MY OFFICE?!!!

            He said-“nope,just marking my new territory” as he zipped it up and walked out :mrgreen: As there was more demand for people who could Tig stainless as opposed to bitch and needle he got the job anyways. :razz:

    I’m sorry, but I fail to see how any parent can forget their sleeping, car-bound child. A good parent is thinking of their kids at all times, and this poor mite died a horrible death in a bubble of heat, a death that a dog should not have to endure. Possibly I do sound judgmental here, but it doesn’t make sense to me. And you are right, what of the father? In such cases, the missing dads are never mentioned, it’s as though they never existed, as though the child was produced without one; typical alright. Truly sad, a shame a passer by didn’t happen to notice or hear. I reckon there is a fair amount left out of this story, and why won’t the childcare centre comment? I pity the mother, but its the child that has suffered the most. and paid the ultimate price.

      Well, Lara, I see nothing wrong with sounding judgmental. It’s used as an epithet nowadays in our PC world, but humans have to make dozens of judgments every day of their lives. If we didn’t, life would be impossible.
      I find it difficult to pity the parents of children who have died as the result of parents’ inattention or neglect. When mine was 18 months old, he was NEVER out of our sight for a moment when awake. Neither of us would even think of reversing the car in our driveway unless the location of the child was known and confirmed. Yet how many children die that way every year? It’s not difficult to develop fail-safe protocols.
      It’s called parenting.

  7. Lara says:

    So true, KG. Good parenting means keeping your innocent, helpless kiddies alive. You have to think of all the possible possibilities and think ahead. I just don’t buy that she forgot her child was in the car, doesn’t ring true to me. You don’t forget a dog, let alone a toddler, so dependent on you for survival. Did she leave him for hours on end or what? Wonder if the case will be truly investigated to get to the truth.

    No one who has a baby in the car would get out of it for even a minute without feeling anxious about the baby’s unattendance , i smell a rat , wonder if we will ever get to find out about the woman’s circumstances leading up to the tragic death?

    When Medusa died, the hospice told me they had counseling available. I told them I would work through things without telling some stranger all about and just leave me the F**K alone! Worked just fine.

    • KG says:
      January 24, 2015 at 21:03

      Of course it does, Michael. Some leech social worker babbling on is about the last thing you need in that situation.
      I’m absolutely sure that they often make things worse.

      • Flashman says:

        Social workers are invariably overweight middle-aged women, none too bright, with at least 20 years of bad personal road behind them: failed relationships, poor self-image, fked up kids…that sort of thing.

        Social work for them is akin to drinking in the last chance saloon, a desperate expression of compensating self-affirmation.

        Avoid like the plague…because they is one.

  10. Cadwallader says:

    Flashman’s description of social workers is close to perfection, but I would add:

    1 They frequently wear denim culottes around hips as broad as the Nullabor.
    2 They vote Greens to evidence their inability to hold original thoughts.
    3 They patronize anyone not prepared to subscribe to their narrow and warped world-view.
    4 They regard white people as ipso-facto racists.
    5 They frequently drop in the odd word from an indigenous language knowing that nobody else present apprehends the meaning.
    6 They love words like “paradigm” and “synergy.” (Use of these words ought be punished by death.)
    7 The majority are paid by the taxpayer whom they treat as if in permanent serfdom.

    Thats enough for now otherwise I shall explode.
