let’s get people talking! FASD? is 100% preventable!

Death penalty? for drinking while pregnant, no less!
my girlfriend was drinking with my baby ( i broke up with her months ago) but the baby is 27 weeks now.
when the baby is born, i will be there with the mother until it reaches an age where powder milk can take place.
then im taking the baby with me and be? the proud, single, loving father most fathers wouldnt do for their child.
now my question is, since a babys mind is like a sponge, would any of the effects really matter as long i teach them as a baby till he/she grows older?
First my mom had me at 60 then Im a pedophile and now Im a man? What do you sit at your computer waiting for a response because somebody is FINALLY noticing how in desperate need of help you are? Well hopefully I have satisfied your need for attention for? a little while.Why dont you use the internet to find a doctor then step away from the computer screen for awhile and find a life.
Im sorry to let you know I wont be indulging you anymore,I think its making you a tad more psycho
I bet it makes you feel like? a really big man saying that over a screen.
you are very sick and need help…
Please get help, you are sick. To randomly accuse someone of pedophilia is very serious and disgusting. Its not something to take lightly and the fact that you think it? is so nonchalant is what is disturbing.
and I feel very sorry that you? get worked up over something that a RANDOM PERSON says… on the internet. wow…
It’s the internet. since when does what a random person says matters anyway???
Are you serious? You really cant read can you? Let me say this again in small words you MIGHT know… MY COUSIN (WHO IS 22) AND I SHARE? THE SAME EMAIL THUS HAVE THE SAME GOOGLE ACCOUNT I HELP HER WITH HER SCHOOL WORK IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US TO WORK TOGETHER ON HER COLLEGE WEB PAGE!Making the accusation someone is a peophile is very serious and you are very disturbed.Seriously get some help you really are sick… I feel very sorry that your mental state is so disturbed.
you should learn not to be a pedo.
your profile says you’re 22 years old.
only a? pedo would sign up as an age younger than they really are.
Not to mention how would my mother be 60 when she HAD? me? Were is your logic in that? She passed when I was 25… maybe you should learn how to read and comprehend weirdo…
I’m not 22 you moron! I share an email with my cousin to monitor her school work,not that its any of your business. Not to mention how extremely creepy you are to stalk my profile. Man you really do need psychological help when you are stalking someone you don’t? know because they do not agree with your idiocy…
What a weirdo…
Get some help before you end up hurting someone or yourself…
you don’t even make sense
if she died that long ago and you’re only 22 years old… then your mother must be 60 or older when? she had you
WTF? that is fucken fucked up!
My mother passed 25 years after I was born.So, the likely hood that giving birth to me was the cause of her demise is slim to none.
I pity you tremendously.It must be awful to be so pathetic and trashy.I have no clue how you even look at yourself daily…Why would you think? its normal to stoop so low? Must be some kind of inferior complex… you REALLY should seek professional help with that. Maybe after that you can learn how to show a little class instead of your ass…
r u an idiot?You think you can push your ideals onto people saying things like that?My mother didn’t drink a drop of alcohol,puff one cigarette,let alone do any illegal drugs in her life and still died of liver failure.So? I hate to inform you, even if you’re a saint you can still develop ANY illness someone who abuses drugs alcohol and tobacco.To say I’m high on my mothers ass crack really?What are you 10?
Grow up,then proceed to comment…
Ignorance is bliss,you must be ECSTATIC!
clearly you’re already high on your own? mother’s ass crack and can’t even read. I said the LAST 10 years of your life……. because of the long term effects. Lung cancer, liver disease, dead brain cells.. among other things. I don’t know about everyone else, but I DON’T SEE any joy, thrill or benefit from that.
those activities are a choice, yes.. but unfortunately.. your stupidity wasn’t a choice -_-‘
@CaitlinGuevara2
Crack and Cocaine are 2 different drugs. What are they teaching kids these days???
