There isn't anything that can be done about shit for brain parents. We live in a very selfish society. Mandatory parenting classes will not help (just because there is a class does not guaranty the parent will learn anything).
Look at this case-why would any parent leave their child with a single man that has no children? Did the parents want the kid out of the house so they could do drugs or party?
There might not be any reason at all, but the parents certainly didn't look at the big picture. (gross looking old man wants to take my kid for the night? What could possibly happen?)
How many parents actually pay attention to their childs' environment?
It seems like more and more parents are losing their common sense, and getting a free pass for it.
Just this week, an 8 month old baby drowned in a bathtub:

At what point do you throw your baby in a tub and walk away????? People actually feel sorry for this woman-(she'll have to live with this for the rest of her life, you know).
FUCK THAT-I have no sympathy for her, her other kid is in danger, and as far as I'm concerned, the woman should be arrested for murder.
