Serves the little cunt right!

Library Sends Cops To 5-Year-Old's House For Overdue Books A five-year-old girl from Charlton, Mass. burst into tears after a local library sent Police Sergeant Dan Dowd to her house to retrieve the child's two overdue library books, CBS Boston reported. "I thought it was way overboard," the girl's mother, Shannon Benoit, said. "I closed my door, I looked at my daughter and she started crying." According to the report, Shannon's daughter thought Dowd was going to arrest her. Sergeant Dowd told the station that, although long-overdue books are a misdemeanor, he didn't want to go to the girl's house. "Nobody wanted to, on this end to get involved in it," Sgt. Dowd told CBS Boston. "But the library contacted us, and the chief delegated, and apparently I was one of the low men on the totem pole." The Benoit's books had been overdue for "several months," but were quickly found and returned at the police officer's request. It turns out the little girl's fears of being arrested weren't completely unfounded. Back in September, Christopher Anspach was sentenced to 10 days in jail for failing to return his overdue library books after several months and multiple overdue notices.

Library books are public property. You're supposed to bring them back, not keep them forever.
Uh, no, that's horseshit and cost you hundreds in tax dollars and terrified a little kid. Congrats, Coppers!
Real criminals shoot back -- those cops would rather take on five year olds...
The police state marches on. The police don't realize it, but the public would probably like to cut half their number and all of their pensions.
I do understand that feigned misogeny is often very funny. Calling a little girl a cunt, though, crosses the line. Look, you didn't choose to be gay. Therefore, you don't have to justify the situation by insisting that women are horrible. A large segment of the gay population used to do that; they are now in their eighties, nineties or graves. Haven't we progressed at all?
Stop her before she kills again!
I bet that little cunt will return the books on time now.
R2 frau the reason that kid was terrified is directly her parents' fault who are certainly not teaching her any sense of responsibility. Stupid entitled mommy. Plus they also mentioned that daddy had $100 in library fines. Jesus Christ parents are morons these days.
Make her eat a peanut!
The cop was after the father's $100 overdue audio book. Stupid entitled daddy.
[quote] It turns out the little girl's fears of being arrested weren't completely unfounded. Ridiculous. The parents are responsible, not the girl. She can't drive herself to the library to return the books. This is a case of a parent making a big deal out of nothing (hoping for a lawsuit) and the media going along with it, hyping it out of all proportion.
If she was black, they probably would have tazed her ass.
My friend Julie recently got a job as Head Librarian in Charlton, MA!

R10 is correct, though apparently there was a miscommunication at the library, because they sent the cop to get the $100 audio book checked out by the father, but told the cop it was the little girl's two books. Regardless, this cannot be a good use of city funds, to send a cop to pick up library books. There are much easier ways to do it, like add the library fine -- or better yet, the cost of replacing the items -- to city utility fees. There's no reason a library fine should ever exceed the cost of replacing the item. Even if the library added costs for shipping and a surcharge for employee time to order, catalog and shelve the item, a $30 book could be replaced for about $40, a $10 children's book could be replaced for about $20, and a $100 audio book could be replaced for about $110. I'm an online bookseller (3rd party Amazon, Biblio, Alibris, etc.) and I sell out-of-print and hard-to-find books to libraries all the time.
More entitled Mommies and their very special princess children. They should have shackled the lot and tazed them in the groin. Little special princess wouldn't forget to return her books again would she? Are these the same people who were trying to fit their family of 6 in three seats? If they weren't, they should have been tazed good too...a good jolt to the crotch.
SLAP THAT BITCH VICIOUSLY!!!
Excellent police work.
If she gets away with it, there's no justice in this world.

The library should have just billed them and nulled their borrowing priveliges. It amazes me how quickly they found the books once it was obvious they were in trouble. Some adults need to grow up.
When r15 goes on his killing spree, do you think DL will get to be in the news?
Don't, worry, R20, it's only the cowards that go after little 5 year-old girls.
This post rather made my day. Delicious.
Next the little bitch will be jaywalking.
Am I the only one who thought this was pretty funny?
Ban the bitches from the library for life. The little cunt will be working the stripper pole by the time she's 17.
It is highly dependent upon where you live. Our public library isn't owned by the city, in fact the city contributes the smallest amount to it. The rest is provided by a foundation. Yep, Providence Public Library is a private concern. Which means they cannot use force or color of government when it comes to collecting overdue books and fees. They just bill you for it.

[quote]Uh, no, that's horseshit and cost you hundreds in tax dollars and terrified a little kid. I come from a small town which occasionally sends police (as an absolute last resort) to fetch city property, and my mother was a librarian. It does not cost "hundreds of dollars" because these are small town patrol cops with nothing to do but drive around burning gasoline for most of the day. If anything, giving them an excuse to stop the car for awhile saves the taxpayers gas money. The cop has a walkie to alert him/her if there's somewhere more important to go. As for "terrifying" the kid, my mom had to spend 15 to 45 minutes of every work day (on the taxpayers' dime) calling the homes of people with books more than two weeks overdue (some long distance calls at the taxpayers' expense) and writing several postcard reminders. (Guess who paid for those to be mailed?) Sending the police was a last resort after several, SEVERAL phone calls and at least three postcards. She loathed that part of her job, and there was no reason she should need to call people and get screamed at by those entitled fucks for simply asking for city property to be returned on time. They had fee amnesty days regularly where people can return items without paying, and my mom would mention the fee-free day on the postcards. People still wouldn't stick the stolen items in the drop box (open 24 hours) during that day. They were far too precious and important to bother. Fuck these douchebags. Their kid got scared? Guess who's fault that really is. [quote]There's no reason a library fine should ever exceed the cost of replacing the item. If you don't tack on some sort of significant fine, there's no deterrent. An extra $5 or $10 over the cost of the book isn't going to deter the kind of trash who use the library as their personal shopper.
yet they can't find an illegal to save their lives
[quote]If she was black, they probably would have tazed her ass. Lots of black people at the libray.
Hey r29, next time YOU're at the library you should check out some books on racism.
Hmmm. Yet, I've had all manner of thieves (employees) steal from my business and I can't even get the cops to call me back. They always stop by, question everyone and then let it drop.
WE MUST MAINTAIN ORDER!!!

[quote]UPDATE:10:22am -- An article published today by the Worcester Telegram & Gazette clarifies that it wasn't 5-year-old Hailey's children's books that warranted the police visit, but a $100 audio book that her father had borrowed, and that had been overdue since April. According to the article, 13 other families in the area were also visited by police, who collectively had in their possession a total of $2,634 in overdue library materials The little girl has nothing to do with what happened. She shouldn't have been in the article. Poor reporting.
But it made the article so much more captivating!

And it gave so many gay men yet another opportunity to show their misogyny.

Gay men are murdered every day because of how much people like you hate women. Lesbians are murdered ever day because of how much people like you hate women. Transgender people are murdered every day because of how much people like you hate women. Women are murdered every day because of how much people like you hate women. Little boys,, little girls are tortured on grade school play grounds every day, their lives ruined, because of how much people like you hate women.
The point of Datalounge is to provide a place for gay men and the women who admire them to talk openly about their contempt for women. That is why DL exists. I'm a gay man, and I think it has to stop, this abuse.
