sad this happens all to often. women throwing babies off rooftops, drowning their kids in bathtubs, now this crap. young moms and dads not ready to be parents shake their kids to death b/c the baby wont stop crying . . . you need a license to drive, own a gun but anyone is free to go out and have kids or 14 kids . . . makes the people who work hard, pay their taxes, dont drive reckless, didnt buy a house when they knew they couldnt afford it only to have the gov bail them out, putting a ton of money in a soc security that they will never see want to move to canada or sweden.

where are the breaks for the good peope?

Great question.
