No Child Left Behind

The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is federal law that reauthorized federal programs geared to improve the performance of U.S. primary and secondary schools by increasing the standards of accountability for states, school districts, and schools.

No Child Left Behind should have been the mindset of all who listened to the parents of 5-month-old Caleb Janowski last week when Janowski defended himself and told Shelby County jurors he and his wife had both thought their 5-month-old son was asleep in his bedroom after what he described as a "hectic" family outing back in September of 2005.

Gerald Janowski told the jury he and his wife both thought the other had removed Caleb from a third-row seat and their 5-month-old son was asleep in his bedroom after he and his wife took Caleb and their other three children to their soccer games and shopping but about two hours later when his wife asked him where he had put the boy, they allegedly realized their mistake.

How can something like this happen? Their excuse is total bullshit. Both thought the other had removed lil dude from the third-row seat and he was in the bed asleep.

Maybe my kids are the exception and not the norm 'cause they look out for one another. Big brother watches lil brother. Twin girls always stay together. Brothers looking out for their sisters. Why didn't none of the other kids tell them they forgot to get lil dude out? Guilty.

Then neither one of them checked on lil dude after being home two damn hours. When my children were babies, I checked on them regularly if they weren't in eyesight. Even now at ages 10, 13 and 16 I will still look in on them. They got a 5 month old. Neither one bothered to check on their child. They Guilty!

And what's the time limit on jury deliberations? I read that jurors in this case only deliberated for about 12 hours over two days before a mistrial was declared Friday in this criminally negligent homicide case in the heat death of Caleb. Tell those lazy bastards, some of us work more hours than that over two days. Guilty!

Both parents will return to court on Sept. 26 to learn whether they will face another trial for the death of their 5-month-old son who died of hyperthermia in the rear seat of their family van on Sept. 10, 2005. They better hope my black ass don't get jury duty!
