Those white lesbians that used their Black son for this photo op?

Yeah…they killed their kids.

That report I read was like ‘there were no skid marks’ and mentioned that it’s unclear how they drove all the way over the big ass area on the side of that road and off the cliff THEN said “there’s nothing to suggest it was intentional” THAT suggests it was intentional.

Right!! All of us with critical thinking skills knew what was up when “no skid marks”.

I remember when that picture was taken they claimed every Black person that expressed concern for what they they were teaching those kids just didn’t understand they were teaching the kids to live “fearlessly” And all I could think was how scared that boy looked & not in a “Learning to swim in deep water” way, but  actual terror. And well, now we know what he was really afraid of & it wasn’t the cops. 

The Devonte Hart Case Highlights a Profound Racial Disparity in the Treatment of Child Abuse

“The Hart’s story is a tragic case study in racial disparity. 

The ways in which Sarah and Jennifer managed to continually evade the notice (or action) of officials is a luxury that is by and large only provided to white parents. 

All three of the states that the family lived in received reports of child welfare concerns, and yet apparently the children were never removed from the Harts’ care. 

The disparity in ramifications for suspected—and confirmed—child abuse is particularly striking when compared with the jail time black mothers receive for something like leaving their kids at a food court while they were doing an interview less than 30 feet away. X Or for testing positive for marijuana after giving birth. X Or for only being able to afford an apartment where your landlord won’t fix a rat problem. X

The criminalization of poor black and brown mothers’ parenting practices is a well-documented phenomenon dubbed ‘Jane Crow.’ X”  ~Hampton, Salon

These children deserved so much more. So much better.

“Sarah Hart had already pleaded guilty to domestic assault in 2011, when a teacher discovered bruises across their then-6-year-old daughter’s stomach and back. For admitting to letting ‘her anger get out of control,’ Hart was given a 90-day suspended jail sentence and a year of probation.”

A fucking slap on the wrist for confessing to beating her child…

“A CHP spokesman told reporters that the GMC Yukon’s on-board computer indicated that the vehicle stopped and then suddenly accelerated off Highway 1 — plunging about 70 feet down to the rocky shoreline of the Pacific Ocean.”

And then this…their whole family…they drove themselves and all their children off a cliff…

…

I… can’t… this… I don’t even know where to begin. 😦
