At one time we were all adult enough to figure that one out, like they do in Texas.

There's no interaction, no public forum, no thoughts except from those very few that go through the trouble of jumping through the hoops. I have no facebook account, nor do I intend to open one. I've enjoyed reading on this site as well as interacting with others and sharing thoughts. However without the ability to do that, I really have no reason to check a site with such a poor rendition of the news to begin with. KCRG lags behind other news sources, and posts some very poorly written stories. I think instead of focusing on comments, they should make improving their journalism a priority.

The system has no place for them. Plenty of kids are in bad situations.

But man, if you're going to go out driving and drinking in the car, leave the kids with a sitter please.
