This is a update on the blog I posted not too long ago titled "Bound To Happen".
The mother of the child, Judy, was sentenced to Rikers Island for 20 days and already has completed her time. Her daughter that was with her was taken from her and kept in custody
until her father came and gave a clean urine to them and showed he wasn't using drugs. Now
was it his urine that he gave I highly doubt that because he uses everything from beer to pills to crack. Either way he gave a clean urine and got the little girl back. She spent I believe 2 nights in there custody.
Since then I have seen Judy and it seems like nothing has changed with her. You think having
your child taken from you and sent to some strange facility would be enough for her to want to straighten her life out.
This past week we had to give Mazzy up for adoption. We found her a great family with a great home in Long Island and shes going to live a great life till the end of her days. When I had to give her up I felt as if I was giving up one of my children and it killed me to do so even though I knew she was going to a great home with a family that's going to give her the world.
Now you would think a mother who gave birth to this child would feel the same way and want to change things in her life so that something like that would never happen again but I guess not.
I saw her just yesterday and there she was dragging the little girl everywhere in the hood
trying to sell the few things she had stolen from the stores.
Seems to me like nothing has changed in her life and she either doesnt give a fuck about her
kids or shes just so used to living the life she has lived for over 30years that shes content with
how her life is going

Sorry about Mazzy, I know that hurt.
It's a damn shame but druggin and drinkin will change your perception. I guess 20 days in Rikers wasn't enough? Hell, I sure can't throw stones. I think like a criminal still, even after all these years.
I miss you and the wife, really I do!
Dope is a motha%#@#$#$. What's up Skillz, Frankiecon checkin in and expects everythings great with you.
Brutal story about that mom, So true.
That's hard, hard, hard to watch, especially when there's a kid involved. You give a situation like that a lot of humanity when you write about it, though.
I never did crack but my brother was (is?) a crack addict and when I was younger I lived with him for lack of anyplace better, and we lived in an actual crackhouse for a while so I have seen a lot of stuff like this. A lady who used to bring her 5 yr old and 2 yr old up there and sit them in front of the TV while she smoked crack in the bedroom, or she'd ask me to keep an eye on them for a minute and then disappear for days... a lady whose kids had gotten taken away and who said, "I'm not getting them back because I REFUSE to jump through hoops for DCFS," and people who would spend their entire paychecks in one night of smoking and then let their kids go hungry for weeks.
Crack sucks.
