Should Mom Be Punished for Giving "Go-Go" Juice to Toddler?

Mountain Dew with a splash of Red Bull, and viola! You have Go-Go Juice. A pageant mom explains the concoction she gives when her little princess is set to perform.

Would you consider this a type of drugging? Do you think this mix safe for a young child? Do you feel (as some have called for) this mom should be investigated for poor parenting?

Read her side of the story below.

So true. Speak to just about anyone in law enforecement, what gets reported, or how many get convicted is just a small percentage of the actual criminal activity. Discussions on how many case go unreported per every one that gets the ray of light ranges normally from 1 in 20 to 1 in a 100, depending on the deed. The list of teachers just in the last few years abusing children in their charge, would be over a hundred. Just pick a formula and do the math, as to how many adult teacher predators there actually are. The next question is how many individual children on average did each offender abuse.

I'm sure you are aware of the breaking news out California where two teachers have been arrested for years of sexual abuse to an untold amount of elementary age children.

The sexual predator teacher is easier to spot and be revealed, if the teaching organizations and school boards really had an interest in protecting the children in their care. But a turned head, tight blinders, and ears muffed, is enough to shield what is going on before their eyes, and give them in their own mind, some plausabilty to protect their own self rightgeousness.

Those that intentionally hurt children are despicable, as are those that protect those that do.
