An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ญ


Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from Jun 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

I'd like to look at this as a tragedy rather than pinning the blame on someone.

The mother was literally allowing her children to play in front of their house, which is the bare minimum of freedom most parents ideally should allow their kids to have. It's not their fault that a heavily-tinted car was left unlocked nearby. Hindi rin nila fault that they weren't aware that these types of deaths (kids suffocating in a child-locked vehicle) are fairly common and so spent hours passing by the car without looking. And normal din for her to blame the driver out of grief, although of course mali siya and has no case.

On the other hand, driver was only human and forgot to lock his car door.

Kabadtrip kasi yung mga tinatawag na pabaya yung nanay. Talk about kicking someone when they're down. If they've seen the news report, alleyway lang yung tapat ng bahay nila at maiksi. It's the exact same frontage our parents allowed us to play in unsupervised when we were younger.

It's also reactionary. Pag may ma-ra*e na bata, sabihin bakit daw kasi inutusan bumili sa tindahan. That's like 99.9999% of what kids go through and barely a small percentage of that leads to anything bad. Tapos pag tututukan naman at susumbatan ng magulang sasabihin helicopter parenting or spoiled.
