Yes!

Remember the stupid mom who left her son alone with a pit bull?

Mom jailed in pit bulls' fatal mauling of son. She is charged with child endangerment for leaving 12-year-old boy alone with dogs

The mother of 12-year-old Nicholas Faibish, the San Francisco boy killed by his family's two pit bulls earlier this month, was arrested Thursday on charges that her actions led to the boy's "completely preventable" death.

Maureen Faibish, 39, was accused of felony child endangerment for leaving her son alone in a basement in the family's Inner Sunset district home, separated from the dogs by a door she had secured with a propped shovel. She could be sentenced to 10 years in state prison if convicted.

Faibish was arrested without incident Thursday afternoon and was being held in county jail on $75,000 bail.

"One of three children of the defendant was placed in a situation that was inherently dangerous to that child's health and safety,'' District Attorney Kamala Harris said at a news conference after the arrest.

"We are not in the business of vilifying parents, but in this city, we are also not in the business of allowing children to be placed in situations where they are killed when it is completely preventable,'' Harris said.


Good.

Thinking of relocating to NYC? I understand that there's a good market for videographers there, but there are some conditions...

First day!

Home, a very tired.

The driving bits were fine. But Fridays are the day to clean the lab, so I spent half the day dynamiting scraping dental goop off various surfaces.

There's no time clock. :)

I think I'm going to like it there.
