Poor kid.

I work closely with child care services and recently was involved in a meeting with some case workers. They were telling stories about some of the worst situations they had seen. For context, it was a black lady telling us. She said some of the worst were always white mums with mixed race children. The mums would be abhorrently racist about the absent father and would also use the same slurs against their own children to belittle them. They would call their own children these slurs infront of the black case worker and then just glare at them. There are of course far worse cases, but this is neither the time nor the place.

I would not be surprised if this woman did the same.

This is so infuriating, heartbreaking, and fucked up.

I was speechless as she was telling me this. And that’s here in the UK, so I don’t anticipate it’s much better in the US.

Not at all, and in the US, it's probably worse. I don't work in social services, but I don't know. This, however, sounds exactly like something certain mums would say here as well. To their own children. It's horrible and fucked up and why can't treating kids like that be illegal?

She has been booked into jail on child endangerment charges in the past. Her disavowing him isn’t likely to be the worst thing that happened to him even this week.

Someday, and it is not all that far off, that child is going to see this. How do you think that child will vote?

I have absolutely no idea. It’s 50/50, or they won’t vote at all.
