Christ, that’s so sad Sad that poor baby

ShirleyPhallus · 07/06/2019 22:36

Not sure what you’re looking for here....

Everyone to pile on here and judge this woman?

Samcro · 07/06/2019 22:37

why wouldn't you judge her?

Beebeezed · 07/06/2019 22:39

@ShirleyPhallus

Do you condone her?

Um, yes I'd judge her. But not just her - her sister who went drinking with her, the many many people they would have seen that night (staff / other customers). Why didn't anybody raise an alarm?

It's just a very very sad waste, that poor poor baby.

AriaFitz · 07/06/2019 22:41

There’s quite a few stops inbetween judging her and condoning her.

Beebeezed · 07/06/2019 22:42

Exactly what I was thinking @FranklySonImTheGaffer - how did she get in a nightclub with a baby?!

Also, the men that went back with her with her baby. Sad

A baby in a night club WTF

Then killed her many

Selfish scum

MarthasGinYard · 07/06/2019 22:44

Baby

Stravapalava · 07/06/2019 22:45

So hang on? How did a baby get into a nightclub???? Surely they'd be refused entry when the bouncers saw the lady with a baby? Scandalous.

AriaFitz · 07/06/2019 22:45

The first thing I wondered was how she was let in a nightclub with a baby, they always search my bag like I’m a known criminal intent on dealing drugs and shooting everyone and look at my ID like it’s been knocked up in crayon on a post-it but allowed two women and a baby in a club Confused

Stravapalava · 07/06/2019 22:48

Four weeks old as well. What a waste.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/06/2019 22:49

I am judging her. This wasn't something that couldn't be helped eg accidentally falling asleep at the wheel or even were she had turned her back for a a second and something dreadful had happened.
This could have been avoided.
Also what were the night club staff thinking. Why was she even allowed in the club with the baby. I don't understand. Her sister as well. I can't Imagine letting my sister take my nephews to a night club.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/06/2019 22:50

I think the nightclub needs a kick up the arse and is answerable, too.

I do however feel sorry for the baby. You can’t pick your family

AnchorDownDeepBreath · 07/06/2019 22:54

I'm guessing she hid the baby on the way in. I don't ever get patted down on the way into a nightclub. No idea why, but it's never happened. DP tends to be; I have some friends that are and some that aren't. It's completely predictable.

I'd never try and take a baby into a nightclub but if she smuggled him in and was asked to leave when the baby became noticeable, as Twitter is claiming, I don't think the nightclub is culpable.

S1naidSucks · 07/06/2019 23:00

There are a lot of people who are morally guilty for the death of this poor little soul, not just the drunken mother.

Samcro · 07/06/2019 23:01

don't worry mummy got just over 2 years for it.
On what planet is what she did deserving of such a light sentence

Bluerussian · 07/06/2019 23:05

Poor little scrap.

VladmirsPoutine · 07/06/2019 23:08

To be quite frank, that poor soul never had a hope in hell with a mother like this. He would have faced his untimely death one way or another. If a mother can even consider it an idea to take her 4 week old baby to a night-club and proceed to get pissed then god only knows what went on behind closed doors.

EAIOU · 07/06/2019 23:09

I feel so I'll reading that. Aside from his tragic and avoidable death, he would of been so scared with the throwing and catching about. I remember how overwhelmed my little one would get with even louder noises in the home.

Poor little baby. My heart is broken for him. No chance at all.

PlatypusPie · 07/06/2019 23:10

Everyone to pile on here and judge this woman Well, yes . She should be judged and condemned - there is no possible excuse for her behaviour. Unfortunate accident on way to shop to get supplies, one thing - deciding to take a tiny baby to a nightclub ? Wtf ?????

Homemadearmy · 07/06/2019 23:10

It's such a sad story. I did wonder if it was a club on holiday park, rather than a nightclub
