I can't believe I even have to warn people on a story as ridiculously insane as this one.
Just by reading that title, you probably went...
"What the fuck?!"
Yep. This actually happened. About 2 weeks ago, it seems. And it's as preposterous as it is, it's also disturbing, and shines a serious reminder that not all people deserve to be parents.

Yeah. She's eighteen. Even though she looks around 30. This is the mom in question responsible for such a stupid incident. And here's exactly how it happened. Our story takes place in-...oh. Florida. I see.
Tipora took her 2-year-old daughter and younger siblings to watch the recently released Smurfs movie. Now, immediately, I would like to point out: I haven't watched Smurfs (and I probably never will), but reviews for it seem mainly mixed and negative. However, reception on the movie won't even matter that much, I'd just like to bring that up so you can consider what the mom nearly killed her daughter over.
Anyway, what happened was that the 2-year-old girl (who appears unnamed) kept crying. Now, if your child was crying, it is your duty as a mother to figure out why they're crying, comfort them, and make them feel better. But apparently, the crying was so annoying to Tipora, she-...well...
...she allegedly went back to her car and left her daughter in it! I'm not joking! On that own that tells me a lot on how the mom doesn't care about actually comforting her daughter, just pushing her to the side. But further context of the story just makes it worse!
You see, at the time, there was a heat advisory, and police reported that it was 94 degrees with a 107 degree heat index! That's hot! And whenever it's really hot outside, it's very dangerous to keep a child in a car for a long period of time. The inside of a car heats up even more, which can cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke in children, sometimes fatal. You've probably seen it a lot on the news. And low and behold, that's what happened.
Tipora said she went to check on her child multiple times, and soon made her younger siblings do it as well. However, once the movie was over, she found out she accidentally locked herself out of the car. WOW. The child was stuck in the car for at least half an hour.
Police arrived and broke the car window to retrieve the girl. Her skin was flushed and sweaty, along with obvious crying, indicating heat exhaustion. Her mom just watched by, nonchalant, as if her daughter wasn't in danger. She was taken to a medical facility, and thankfully, she survived.
Of course though, the dumbass mom got herself an arrest warrant for basically child neglect. Her husband (who didn't attend the movie) was also found, and he himself admitted his wife had a history of irrational management of their daughter's tantrums, along with patience problems and stress. Yeah, I bet every parent does, but that is NO EXCUSE to put your child in a hot car! Merriex has been placed on $50,000 for her charges.
Thoughts
The moment I read the headline (which one of my friends sent me), I really couldn't believe it. I mean, each word just made it worse and worse...
- "Florida"
- "teen mom"
- "endangers"
- "crying 2-year old"
- "Smurfs"
I really can't get over how RIDICLOUSLY HIDEOUS it is to put your child in harm's way just so you can watch a movie in peace. And you did this over SMURFS?! Absolutely unacceptable. I also hope custody of her child was removed from her, because if this is what she does over a movie, I'm scared to know what else she would do just so her child would stop crying.
Imagine being the daughter, and in a few years from now you know you could've DIED because your biological mother couldn't care enough for you. That would be heart-breaking. I hope the daughter ends up living with better relatives, who actually care about her.
This story should also serve as a sign some people aren't mature enough to be parents. If you're leaving your child in a hot car at the age of 18, you're a lost cause. It's almost like we shouldn't let immature teenagers in responsibility of young child, because they themselves are children.
I'm just so angered by this, and again, I hope that excuse of a "mother" never sees her child again after this. Be grateful for the good mothers out there. And if you ever see or suspect child neglect or abuse, don't just ignore it. Take action!
