[QUOTE]PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pittsburgh-area woman has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and other crimes for allegedly leaving her 3-year-old twins alone before they died in a fire, while she was trying to retrieve marijuana stolen by her 15-year-old daughter. The attorney for 32-year-old Dalawna Berran-Lett says he's still reviewing the charges filed Tuesday against the North Braddock woman, who remains in shock from burying her twins on Saturday. The boys, Ky'heir (KY'-heer) and Dy'heir (DY'-heer) Arthur, died in the Jan. 4 fire. Investigators believe the boys started the fire while trying to cook something while Berran-Lett was gone for about 15 minutes trying to retrieve her marijuana. Investigators say the boys nearly started a fire trying to cook ribs in December when they were left alone by Berran-Lett for about 20 minutes.[/QUOTE] Source: [URL="http://www.charter.net/news/read.php?rip_id=<DA3VVDL81%40news.ap.org>&ps=931"]http://www.charter.net/news/read.php?rip_id=&ps=931[/URL]

weed kills. keep it illegal.
In her defence, the kids did start the fire and the woman did not know about it until she got back. She went away for 15 minutes and is still in shock about how her children burned to death when she went away for merely 15 minutes.

[quote=]Investigators say the boys nearly started a fire trying to cook ribs in December when they were left alone by Berran-Lett for about 20 minutes.[/quote] I don't understand this, 3 year old kids were trying to cook ribs?

[QUOTE=LSK;39330223]I don't understand this, 3 year old kids were trying to cook ribs?[/QUOTE] Kids do shit like that
I'm pretty sure it's illegal where I live to leave children unattended at home for periods of time like that with nobody home.
[quote]The boys, Ky'heir (KY'-heer) and Dy'heir (DY'-heer)[/quote] Did she really call one of her kids "die here"? there's probably some cultural thing with it but still what
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;39330326]Kids do shit like that[/QUOTE] Ha dude I put a plastic plate with some eggs on it right into the oven and set it on broil when I was little.:downs:
This is rugrats in real life
[QUOTE=evilweazel;39330192]Leaving your three year olds at home by themselves is never a great idea, even if its only for 15 minutes.[/QUOTE] If I had a three year old kid I'm sure I could leave it alone for 15 mins without it dying. This was just horrible luck, not horrible parenting.

To be fair, you should be able to trust you kids not to set themselves on fire if left unobserved for 15 minutes. I'd call it an unfortunate combination of events, but if her educational abilities are as horrible as her name-giving skills then chances are those kids were raised to raise catharsis if left alone
[QUOTE=KennyAwsum;39329843]Worst Parent of the Year Award goes to...[/QUOTE] We will probably hear and read about many horrible parents during 2013 just like 2012.
[QUOTE=Prez;39330428]Did she really call one of her kids "die here"? there's probably some cultural thing with it but still what[/QUOTE] If you're referring to the overly popular thing of giving your children "African names," it really isn't. At most, it's a cultural thing for stupid as fuck African-Americans who want to remember their African roots by giving their children names that [i]sound[/i] African. All they're doing is being willfully ignorant of their heritage and helping to perpetuate prejudice stereotypes.
Honestly this could have happened if she had just fallen asleep upstairs for 15 minutes. The fact she was getting weed is kind of irrelevant.
oh god why does it reminds me of this video. [video=youtube;N4OPr_QxoFg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4OPr_QxoFg[/video]

[QUOTE=God's Pimp Hand;39332756]Well you must know a thing or two about African cultures then eh[/QUOTE] I don't. I also don't plan on giving my children cultural names without actually looking at a few.
Damnit what kind of shit parent is she she should go [I]die in a fire[/I]
The fire actually happened a few weeks ago.
doesn't make her a bad parent she could have left them alone to get some medicine for them or something and they still would have died just bad luck is all
[QUOTE=Paramud;39332826]I don't. I also don't plan on giving my children cultural names without actually looking at a few.[/QUOTE] So if you don't know anything about African cultures or heritage then why are you telling us what African Americans shouldn't name their children? I'm sorry if I seem to be coming off as hostile but anytime I hear the words "helping to perpetuate prejudice stereotypes" I feel like I'm listening to some wicked dog whistle-racism apologism.
[QUOTE=Rediscover;39332905]doesn't make her a bad parent she could have left them alone to get some medicine for them or something and they still would have died just bad luck is all[/QUOTE]If you leave a 3 year old home alone your a bad parent.
She was trying to stop her daughter from smoking pot at a really young age, that seems like a half decent reason to leave, though it is pretty bad to leave your kids at home alone. but it's not so black and white
