Bad parenting? Hows about the "Dad" that got outta jail, looked up his "old lady".. who had a two month old baby boy... his baby boy. "Dad" finds out his woman was cheating on him while he was in the slammer. This "Dad" takes out his anger on two month old son by repeatedly punching him, choking him, slamming him into wall while holding the ankles, crushing his chest, breaking his pelvis, punchturing both lungs, and blinding him, among other things. Then... buries him in the back yard while wrapped in a plastic bag. (Thinking he's dead). THEN.. see's him move in the bag while covering him with dirt, digging him back up, second guesses himself< tries to clean him up with baby wipes, then calls 911. When paramedics arrive, "Dad" is smoking a cigg, calmly giving his BS statement to the cops that he "Fell out of his crib". Paramedics (myself included) rushed child to ER, kept him alive long enough for the docs to take over.
(still think EMS is a glamorous job anyone)?
I was an EMT for only 2 weeks due to crap like this in CA. I had a little of everything, including supervising a birth on site. My final blow was a woman beaten by her husband to the point I was administering CPR. She died under my supervision, and that was enough. After the PTSS counseling, I quit the job. I could not handle it. You have my respect.
