wow fuck all of these people
They should be charged with child abuse and neglect, and any other children removed from their care.
‘She did not die of the measles,’ he said of his daughter, Daisy. ‘If there’s one thing you should know, it’s that. She was failed.’
A direct quote from the father. He doesn’t realize he’s talking about himself.
They won’t, unfortunately. They’ll continue to reproduce and do the same shit over again.
The parents murdered their child.
Hamburger-faced RFK is conspiring to murder more.
I hope you can vaccinate your children and they are not immunocompromised and relying on herd immunity
Because the Republicans don’t want to live in a society where we take care of each other.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they started banning vaccinated children from school.
That’d be insane the classes would have like two kids in them
… so yeah completely plausible move by these idiots 😩
The family are Mennonite, part of a small Christian community that often emphasizes ‘natural remedies’ over modern medicine.
I mean if you absolutely want to you can kinda see death as a weird form of “natural remedy” I guess… Because once dead you definitely aren’t sick anymore and on top of that you also won’t ever get sick anymore. Doubt this is what they want to hear though.
It is, and I can’t stress this enough, EXACTLY what they want to hear. Almost what they said about it, verbatim.
I am disgusted beyond words. These are clearly people that should have been born unable to reproduce with how little they care for a life they created.
Fundies gonna fundie.
Republicans are SO Pro Life and Pro Family that not EVEN KILLING THEIR OWN CHILD will Change Their Minds about ANYTHING!
Luckily, they can always have another child and kill it too. It’s the beauty of nature.
What the heck kind of photo op is that? The guy in charge of keeping people from dying takes a picture with a family whose daughter died from a preventable illness?
“Hey, good job on the dead kid! Lets take a picture!”
“Cheese!”
Like, seriously. They’re smiling like their cute little 8-yo isn’t dead a few days ago. What fucking sick ghouls.
Just following the boss’s example…
Donald Trump is facing backlash after he was seen giving a thumbs-up and smiling while posing for photos at Arlington National Cemetery. The ‘controversial’ gestures were made at the graves of soldiers who were killed during the 2021 U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.
This is even a few years after calling all soldiers that die in war “suckers” and “losers”
and ending “whats in it for them”, plus his other qoute" I dont like soldiers that are captured or dead"
👍
America has become a very fucked up country in a very short amount of time.
You mean the last 40 years?
America just took of the mask. We have always been this fucked up.
This guy pays attention.
Out of all the imbeciles and low intelligent dung beetles in this article, there shines a bright light who lackadaisically pilots his automobile with his arm out the window donning his mint dandelion Carhartt hooded sweatshirt. Steve, the local designer, who non-nonchalantly proclaims that any and all should receive their vaccinations.
Good on you, Steve.
She died doing what they loved.
Ignoring modern medicine in exchange for right wing cred.
Jesus Christ, I’m amazed they managed to keep RFK from eating the fucking corpse.
He didn’t eat it but he did strap it to the roof of his car while he ran some errands.
Bruh the callback was fantastic. A+ comment with no notes
his face is melting, he needs a new face soon.
Holy fuck. This comment… Gold does not exist on this platform, but surely there is something worthy to offer.
First born child…?
No, a dead corpse of a first born child.
Cadaverific!
I suppose blame shifting feels better than examining how your own ill-informed negligence led directly to your child’s death.
“How could the liberals have done this to me?”
There should be someone assigned to follow these stupid sacks of shit around through every waking moment. Any time they try to express an opinion, their minder can slap them into oblivion and remind anyone nearby that these assholes killed their own kid. No tip-toeing around and giving them space to craft their own narrative about what happened, just a perpetual rain of palms on faces until the message sinks in.
Some day you fine people will realize that none of them care about the noises that come out of their mouths as long as they are the right shape
They aren’t expressing an opinion, they’re expressing whatever they feel will piss off as many people as possible
They don’t craft a narrative, they aggregate ridiculous arguments until you are so exausted of trying to keep up refuting them that you go away
That is their main goal, plan, and purpose
Variation of the Gish Gallop.
Their favorite tactic, labeled as ‘The Firehose of Lies’ as the modern russian implementation
It’s getting harder to believe you’re wrong, day by day.
Make this your platform and you’ve got my vote
Clearly this is Joe Biden’s fault. /s
THANKS Obama…
Oh of course they’re some kind of Mennonite or Christian extremist. look at her head covering.
Religon is child abuse
This reflects my experience growing up with a religion really accurately. What really kills you in the end, is that you took it seriously, when you come out of it you realize no one else was.
I think many people take religion seriously. They wouldn’t spend so much time and money on it if they didn’t. But religion doesn’t change their values. Rather, their values shape what aspects of the religion they care about.
lol no, I’ve been a victim of both and getting hit in the head with a belt buckle was a lot worse than having to sit through an hour of church a week
And both are abuse.
You people are insane
As insane as all the youth pastors that like little boys?
The incidence of abuse among pastors, while abhorrent, is lower than the general population.
Yes it is a horrible crime that pastors abuse their authority to harm children
Statistically, they are still safer with pastors than their own uncles and aunts.
But everyone on lemmy hates religion.
You know this was a big problem in my day, ‘Stranger danger’.
The VAST majority of abuse cases are by someone the child knows and is related to, but so much time and effort was put in to make the public freak out about a vast army of anonymous pedophiles all plotting to kidnap their children that so many domestic cases were swept under the rug for more salacious public targets (that mostly turned out to be innocent and had their lives ruined anyway by people like you)
But please keep up with the memes because you like to shit on religion so much
That’s a gross oversimplification. You do know most pastors that do that have to get close with the kids in the first place for it to happen… they don’t just see a kid on first day and go for it. They’re predators that try to build trust at first under the guise of religion being safe and trustworthy.
Good thing they just ship them off to another church once they’re found out? I’m sure plenty of cases get swept under the rug because psycho-Christian families believe it was “God’s plan” or some bs.
And I will happily shit on religion all day :) “god” and jesus can choke on my nuts
Religious abuse is abuse. This isn’t a fantasy, there’s clear outcomes.
When you and your ilk classify being raised in a religious household as child abuse, your every other argument loses power due to its absurdity
There is no reasonable discussion with such as you
I don’t think all religion is child abuse. Not everyone is your polar opposite extremist.
I enjoyed church as a kid because it was the one place they COULDN’T just beat the shit out of me for no reason. But still, the indoctrination, lies, manipulation, twisted fucked up world view, and sexual repression are all things ALSO fucking up my adult life. The abuse abuse was a much harder thing to live through and accepting that recovery is a lifetime process not a goal with a possible ending is fucking horrifying, but you know. They both did register as shit I wish I never went through.
Its not religions fault you had shitty parents
They’re doing victory laps with a politician over a dead kid, it doesn’t get much more grotesque or morbid.
All of their children could die of measles and they’d still say: “God works in mysterious ways.”
Baby-killers.
makes you think… yeah there sure seems to be sick fucks out there that would murder a kid, but your own kid?
sick fucks
