Here we are in 2010 and we’ve gone only a few days before handing out our first Darwin Award of the year.
Typically, we save this award for one dad, but in this case we are handing out the prestigious award to a couple of parents.
The first recipient is a guy who’s two-year-old was found naked in a hallway, lying in feces and vomit. Apparently the kid “got outside by himself.”
Yea right:
A naked 2-year-old boy was found sleeping in the hallway of a Dorchester apartment building yesterday, using his diaper as a pillow, Boston police said in a statement.A resident notified police, who found the child at about 2 a.m. in a common hallway on the second floor, surrounded by feces and vomit. Emergency medical workers transported the boy to Carney Hospital for treatment and evaluation.
Officers found the boy’s father in one of the apartments in the Hancock Street building. He told officers his son “probably left the apartment after I fell asleep.’’
The other Darwin Award winner is an EoT first — a mom:
Heather Parris, 42, of Hyannis, was pulled over for driving 56 miles per hour in a 35-mile-per-hour zone on Buck Island Road in Yarmouth, said Lieutenant Steve Xiarhos.The officer who stopped her shortly before midnight Thursday noticed that her two young children were not in child seats and that Parris appeared intoxicated.
Police said her blood alcohol content was 0.19, nearly 2 ½ times the legal limit. A passenger, identified by police as the children’s father, Dwyane Brown, 38, of Hyannis, had a blood alcohol content of 0.30.
in the first case, how do you not make sure your kid is tucked away in their bed, safe and sound, never mind whether or not your door is locked? With the mom case, these are the types of people that should be tested before they become a parent. Seriously.
So to these fine parents, congrats on being named EoT Darwin Award recipients, the first of 2010.
