Because in this case you should be fine with anything that makes it close to impossible to have false positives. Even if that increases the amount of false negatives or costs.
Wood told police he used exercise as discipline, and had La’Rayah do physical activities including running sprints in the apartment. On the day she died, La’Rayah fell backward while doing sit-ups and hit her head on the carpeted floor, he said.
I'm surprised the headline didnt say former New England Patriot.

I was a single parent (father) for 14 years.
The system seems pretty slow to react to these type of situations IMHO.
We also have a pretty poor system for housing these kids compared to other countries.
The other thing I can tell you is the system is geared to "getting the father to pay".
I had to file and explain I had full custody a few times when the state came after me for money.
Counselling (I paid for) was always geared towards reuniting the mother with the daughter, who admitted to having a crack problem.
The whole system is geared to go after the guy and protect the mother.
I was referring here to the moral argument about the death penalty, with theoretical certainty that the person is guilty of a crime like this.
Morally, I don't see the point of capital punishment except for absolute outliers on the level of genocide.
Either way if you reduce it down to morals then it becomes a complete gut feeling level question because everyone will have their own anecdotal perspective on it. Not sure whats the point of that here.
A lot of people mentioning innocent people being convicted. Instead of that being the reason not to punish folks, maybe it should be the reason to start holding people accountable for massive failures, rather than allowing things to be swept under the rug and pretend people arent awful at their jobs.
Its all a sympom of previous generations deference to authority, based on the assumtion the authority figure is acting in a competent-let alone satisfactory manner. Judges, cops, politicians, refs, whatever. They are all merely people. They make mistakes, act maliciously, etc. But because of the societal deference, they rarely have to own their mistakes, let alone be held accountable.
Im paying my lawyer right now because a judge issued an order DOR can't use (all involved have literally said she should have known better), while the ex's employer takes child support out of her check (seen the stubs) and then doesn't issue payment (they have 3 days, legally) for weeks.
And dcf/other state equivalents are useless. If you dont kiss their ass and jump through their insane hoops, you are enemy number one, regardless of the mountain of evidence to support your claims, and criminal/probate court rulings in your favor. But, if you actually did whatever is in question, you likely "play ball," and nothing happens, because your "cooperating." But if you tell them one specific worker who continues to make threats during visits (multiple parties witness to the last ones) is no longer allowed on the property/visit kids at daycare, they decide to close the case because "non cooperation." Its all a massive ****ing joke.
Dcf loves to harass people who shouldnt be bothered while talking up scum bags who have no right being near children. To top it off, (at least in late 17 when my experience started) they are in contempt of federal court for the conditions children live in who are under their care. So on top of being incompetent, their hypocrites. Just another example of Massachusetts not holding itself to the standards of Joe Carpenter. Though Jose Carpentero gets a bailiff escort out the backdoor to avoid ice detention when facing dui and trafficing charges.
It'd be nice to see the judges that ordered the Purdue Pharma marketing evidence sealed for the last 12 years held accountable for the thousands of deaths and millions of addicts they literally enabled Purdue to create, and monetize, but that will never happen. Instead, the courts see they are implicit, so junkies can literally use their habit as a hardship to get out of child support obligations (not making this up), citing the cost of methodone (its just ****ing heroin, it is in no manner a medicine) for their hardship. Best part of all that is most professionals agree that the best treatment is getting rhrough withdrawals, not providing another substance to push them off and kick facing the issue head on down the road.
Boredom?
Used to support the death penalty for a long time. However, over the years my stance has changed. Sometimes death is too light a sentence for some of these freaky people. Just wish they could guarantee the inmate a long hard life sentence for certain crimes. Fed 3 basics with excruciating hard work 6 days a week with far fewer privileges for that 7th day to reflect for their crime in a barren jail cell. I’m ok paying taxes on that rather than waiting multiple stays over 20+ years for an execution to actually take place.
That’s fair...it is a sick topicI don’t think it belongs here
That sure is some conclusion you jumped to off of this storyNothing to see here. Adrian Peterson admits he still beats his child last season and nobody blinked an eye. It's cool to abuse and kill children. The corrupt 32 are ok with it as long as the player gives production. And we as football fans are ok with it because we continue to put our $$$$ into the greedy owners pockets.
#coldhardtruthsThat sure is some conclusion you jumped to off of this story
You think that buying a product endorses everything that happens to everyone related in any way to that product? You wouldn’t be able to buy any product if that was the case.#coldhardtruths
Would love to hear the arguments against capital punishment on this one. Two bullets for less than a dollar will do the trick. Yes, I’d pull the trigger myself.
The argument is that the State is not qualified to determine whether one of its citizens deserves to die. Frankly, it is frightening that you can observe how people and governments operate and come to the opposition conclusion.
The state is a jury?
