I love that little detail how this guy litters in front of 2 cops, puts it right back in his pocket. It's small but speaks loud to the context

[MMuraseofSandvich]

"You mean you were too busy to feed your own child."
Objection! Argumentative!

[mikebasil]

The Law & Order shows are the bravest shows on television for never shying away from the most powerfully delicate subject matter.

[irawilliams]

All children deserve to be loved and raised in a loving home, but not every adult out there is qualified to be a parent.

[foolslayer]

They should charged for both manslaughter, child abuse, and child neglect.

[ZeeBee]

"To answer your question, too many."
"It's my first"
"That's too many"

That was a heavy coversation.

My first baby wouldn't nurse. After a couple days of trying, we went to formula. She finally ate really well and started getting stronger and less lethargic. It hurt at the time that I couldn't nurse her, but she ended up healthy. My subsequent kids nursed just fine. Breastfeed if you can, but don't feel guilty if you can't.

I don't know if post partum depression was known at that time, but it sounds like that. A lot of mothers feel like they're in a fog after giving birth and she wasn't getting any help even from the father.

[angelalycos.]

For any new mamas out there, that might be watching this, if you're here and you feel as scared as the this, I'm going to tell you right now, fed is best. There are going to be people out there that think they know better, but they are not your child's mother you are, and you get the final say. Fed is best, even if not from the breast. And if your pediatrician, your mother, your husband, gives you hell for making sure your baby is fed, you give them hell right back.

[ellenrittgers]

I can’t be the only one who misses the hell out of Jerry Orbach! 🥲💕

[sarahjo]

The classic case of daddy wants baby but won't lift a finger to help. My husband was working during the day and we'd switch feedings during the night, plus he'd even take the first feeding of the morning so i could sleep because it was during Covid and I was going through a time of PPD while also having to homeschool our 1st grader. If you aren't willing to help mom with the baby, you shouldn't force her to have one!

[conallen]

This gives me vibes of the crystal candelario case, the woman abandoned her 16 month old baby alone for 3 weeks while she went traveling to Puerto Rico and Michigan with her boyfriend. That case makes me so mad as well as horrified for what sweet angel went through; her daughter's name was Jailyn.

[ytafan]

Neither of them were mentally or emotionally ready for parenthood. And as I recall, that Strickland woman wasn't really helping. She was more interested in pursuing her own agenda than helping the mother and the baby. The baby was the first priority. If they couldn't care for the baby, then maybe they could have put the baby up for adoption.

[julianyc]

The Man is just as responsible for the Baby. Never even saw his baby.

[Christopher]

That cross examination of the husband was brutal.

[Freddie-xs]

Both the parents are guilty of neglect but the father did work but a child comes first

[jkrfan]

side note - can we agree that jerry and jesse had really great chemistry together

[Gancanna]

Breast may be 'best, ' but she should have taken the hint that her child needed more to eat when she was given the formula as supplementary measure. Many new mothers have difficulty producing milk. It's not an uncommon condition. The father/husband not calling the police, inexcusable at best.

I feel sorry for the grandparents. Had they known help was needed, they might have stepped up. They didn't even get that option.

[DinoJake]

Stories like these make me think that you need some kind of license to become a parent.

[koppsr]

Watching this episode in the light of the tragedy of the two year old girl whose mother just left her in the play pen with some food to go on a ten day vacation....it hit's way WAY harder...
