Fellow Green Monky, regular reader and friend, Bob Wagner has some advice for a woman whose husband left their baby in the truck in the middle of Wisconsin in winter while he went and spent time in a strip club:

And ladies, if perchance you are married to the kind of moron who leaves the baby in the car, in Wisconsin, in Winter or anywhere else any time else for any reason else, and if, perchance you get a call from the police informing you of this by all means, forgive your man. Men are human and quite often we're not terribly bright. We fuck up but we still love you. So by all means forgive him. But before you forgive him PUNCH HIM. Punch him hard, punch him vigorously. Punch him in the mouth, nose throat and groin. Punch him like a monkey on crack. I don't know what that means exactly but you get the idea. Punch him until the cops render you unable to punch him. THEN forgive him. But first-say it with me-PUNCH HIM.

Now, I have a very different perspective on life and philosophy of being than Bob does.  Our social, spiritual, and personal differences can be quite a bit apart in some ways...

But here's one of the areas where I'm all-in in agreement with him:

Forgive the guy if you must, but ladies, if he endangers your child, make sure he remembers to NEVER do it again.

Oh, the entry I linked to starts out with a story about Eden Prairie teens that I was unaware of...so I'll probably go look into that more and comment on it later.
