Parents Were High When Child Drowned

The parents of three-year-old Renna Willams (also reported as Reena Williams) were reportedly high when the little girl wandered away and drowned in a canal near their home. This update adds an even more tragic piece to the already sad example of bad parenting and child death. It's already been reported that Jenna Danish and Thomas Williams Jr. are charged with child neglect regarding the death of the little girl, but this detail proves that they truly were being negligent.

This is far more than an example of a mother and father failing to pay extremely close attention to their child. These two were high and according to reports they had a history of drug problems as well. Parents of the year Jenna and Thomas put the need to get effed up ahead of the life of their own three-year-old child.

Renna Williams (or Reena Williams, depending which is actually accurate) never stood a chance with these people and that's a damn shame. Sadly, her story is far from the first and will certainly not be the last of similar drama. Children are born to families like this every day in the United States, and some of them suffer horrifically at the neglect and abuse of their drug addicted parents. Hopefully the judge makes an example of this little girl's mother and father to help put a stop to this damaging lifestyle.

No parent should left a child go outside and play without adult supervision when there is water all around the child's yard that the child can wander to and fall in. There wasn't even a fenced in area for the child to play, which is essential even with supervision. A 3 year old is not old enough to play outside alone, period!

This is yet another example of adults putting their own greed for an illegal substance and self indulgence thereof, ahead of the child they brought into this world and are therefore responsible for. Unfortunately, society is almost always prone to feeling more grief and pity for the parents, than the child(ren) they abuse or neglect as bad parents. As such, even our justice system tends to be far too lenient when passing sentence on parents of deceased a child(ren). {i.e.} Normal sentencing is short incarceration time and/or probation with some sort of counseling.

IMO: An appropriate sentence would be to incarcerate these two degenerates in separate solitary confinement cells with only the painting of the childs face on each of the four walls and the ceiling of the cell to keep them company for no less than ten years.

My above suggestion is meant to apply to all parent(s) who are found guilty of a childs' death do to their negligence.

I know, my suggested sentence is rather extreme, but hey, look at it from the eyes and mind of the child who died as a result of such bad parent(s) and then my suggested sentence may not really seem so harsh afterall.
