Written on UPDATE: Posey County father charged with murder of 4-month-old son:

I don't comment too much on stories here but I usually read them everyday. Here is my input on the situation. First of all, speaking of a deterent, people like this scumbag will react to a situation not thinking about anything that will happen to them, they just go into rage and commit a crime. If he did it once, he will do it again so life imprisonment w/o parole is the best answer. Taking his life is not the answer. He needs to eventually know what he did was wrong and suffer in a cell for the rest of his life. Taxpayers pay for him to stay alive, but i rather pay to see him suffer then go unwarranted for a innocent life he took than take the easy way out with a death sentence. Family, friends, neighbors and strangers that are around the type of people that especially have kids should report incidents where abuse is or has been seen for the sake of the innocent kids. Being so young, the kids have no say except to be tortured and eventually murdered and as a society in today's mixed up world, we should keep our eyes and ears open and report anything that just isn't right. Friends and family should speak up if they see this happening in their lives because when it is too late, only then do you regret not speaking up and possibly saving a life. Poor Bryson never had a chance

Written on Five to be charged in Golfmoor vandalism spree:

I am glad these kids were caught and should be accountable for all the costs; unfortunately, even though the parent(s) did not tell them to do the damages or actually do the damage, they will suffer paying the bill. People never know the whole story and always blame the parent(s). My parents taught me the same thing I taught my kids,to respect others and property but once they are with others in a group, then you never know what will happen. You can't watchdog your kids 24 hours a day. You hope they always do the right thing. Today's kids have so much more freedom because of laws if they are even threatened to be spanked, you could lose custody or go to jail and the kids are aware of that. Sometimes kids are out of control no matter what the parent(s) does or says, or how much you ground them. Should all the parents of anyone that vandalizes, robs, swears, spits on another, murders,or any illegal crime or bad action be accountable ?? Anyway, I am always glad to hear when people (including juveniles) are caught for crimes, but please stop blaming the parents for everything if you don't know the whole story. Thanks for reading my opinion.

Written on Western Kentucky Man charged after baby found unhurt in oven :

As I am reading the story, it sounds like the Mom is the one to take the baby to the hospital and report him. Thank god he didn't turn on the oven in his state-of-mind. The father definitely needs to be committed to some place that can help him. Without knowing the whole story and with 3 kids in the picture, you would think Child Services would have known something if there were any previous problems. It's a sad thing the way children are put in danger because their parents or adults in the house are too stupid to think about what they are doing and only think about themselves. I think how great I had it growing up with my Mom and how she loved and was always there to protect us. It's a strange world out there today.

Written on Stolen: $2.79 burrito:

theft is theft no matter how you look at it. if he stole this time, chances are that he stole in the past or will steal again. you don't reward someone by paying for their mistakes. if he is guilty of theft, as small as it was, it is the principal. as far as the news on here, it may be small news, but it appears to get a lot of comment responses for people reading online so why criticize the paper for reporting such things. just don't read the small stories if you do not want to waste your time.

Written on Police: Man stopped for racing flees wrong way on the Lloyd:

whipple......thanks for that comment. LMAO

Written on Evansville man held on child molest charges:

I hope other victims will read this story and come forward and either testify or give information to help place this guy behind bars the rest of his life. There has to have been other victims involved I would bet. I have a family member that was convicted of this crime and unless you are involved personally somehow, it is hard to judge the parents or other family members of the victim and the culprit. Do not convict the family members as they are not the ones to commit the crime. If they withhold information or they are involved in the crime themselves, then they are just as guilty as well. I am not for the death penalty but rather than life imprisonment without parole. I know it is true that once your mind is set for this type of crime, it it virtually impossible to change. You have to be proud of this little girl that finally went to an adult and told them so this guy could be caught. Maybe the man told her not to tell her parents or scared her into not telling them. Please find out the facts before you condemn them, then you can make the proper comments. I pray for the victims in these crimes and hope they seek professional help to cope with the bad memories and that they can lead a healthy life that they are entitled to have without fear of this ever happening to them or anyone close to them again. This is no joking matter and never will be.

Written on Man accused of hitting school bus, driving while intoxicated:

I read comments everday and sometimes they are funny and other times they are just plain stupid.
Why would this be a racial story ? If you are going to comment on a story, try to stay with the information given from that story and stop being so racist and putting more into the situation than there is. Any other person whatever ethic background it shouldn't matter. A man was driving illegaly while intoxicated and hit another vehicle and then hit and run on top of that. None of this should have happened, but the man should be convicted on all counts and justice served, not because of who he is but what he did. I am just glad the bus driver and the kids were not hurt as this could have been much worse. And thank the witnesses who helped the police catch this guy. I just hope justice is served and this guy gets the help he needs. Many drunk drivers get away with not serving any or much justice unless there is a death involved.

Written on Parents knock helmets during council meeting:

Safety helmets are a very good idea and can save lots of unnecessary head injuries if an accident were to occur. The issue here was to have the police enforce the helmet law; however, the parents should be the ones responsible and not the city. The police do not need to chase down a child just because they do not have on a helmet. There are many other problems they need to focus on in our city. Traffic and drugs come to my mind. Our tax dollars need to be spent wisely. I applaud Ellen and her donations of the free helmets. More bicycle safety awareness is what we need in our city, not more unneccessary laws.

Written on Wear bike helmet or face fine:

it seems more people are against this law, not necessarily against wearing helmets, but for having a law to enforce it. does the city council take into account on what the people, that voted for them in office, really want ? more public awareness is what we need not to fine the parents ? couldn't kids that are angry at their parents get even and ride a bike around the neighborhood without a helmet and "bam"... the parents have to pay. i can see lots of problems from this. i want my daughter safe but i don't need the police harrassing her just for riding her bicycle in my neighborhood. if the law passes, then she will have to lose her bike until she is 16. i can't afford (literally) to take a chance. can you ?

Written on Wear bike helmet or face fine:

if i am sitting on my motorcycle without a helmet and a neighboorhood kid rides up on his bike without his helmet, and then a policeman walks up to us and gives the kid (his parent) a $250 fine for being unsafe ? where is the irony ? maybe stores shouldn't sell a bike unless the person signs a waiver of release or the store should be held liable for selling that bike for someone under 16 to ride without a helmet. parents teach but cannot monitor the kids 24 hours a day.
