I just googled them. Lol. Obviously they don't get their bodybuilding info from this forum. Lol
 
Incredible. How people like that have children is beyond me.

LOL I read that you know you are failing when the daily beast calls you a wanna be
Edit: Oh damn this was my eighth thousandth post!!!!! It did not disappoint.
 
But how is pop tart much different than sweet potato? Potato just turns to sugar, so as long as you eat the pop tart slower than potato it doesn't matter if you ingest it.
 
Thats just messed up in so many ways.I would never push my lifestyle or choices on someone else, but this goes way beyond that... Child abuse and neglect. They arent wannabe bodybuilders because the real bodybuilders don't live like this plain and simple. If they wanted to be bodybuilders they would get the lifestyle component right. Kinda bothers me they even associate bodybuilders to these peices of scum. Here again goes people giving the game a ****ty image.

I wouldn't allow yourself to get so emotional, or worry about it that much. I seriously doubt this has much impact on the way people view 'bodybuilders', with all the other negative stories constantly in the news regarding bodybuilding.

I tell you what tho, this reportedly happened in South Carolina, but in North Carolina it might have turned out a whole lot different! Check it out...

I guess momma don't play that camp out crap for pop-tart thievin' in NC, she have yo azz incarcerated! Now that's the appropriate procedure for handling this type of thang, right? Follow the proper chain of command and let the authorities manage this mess. But still, i'm starting to wonder man, what they puttin' in them pop-tarts these days anyway? :blink:
 
They cut her hair off for eating a protein bar before this incident and made her sleep out in the woods so she could see what it is like to be "homeless". They are a couple of crazies that are simply abusive and the "wannabe body builder" angle really has nothing to do with the story other than they make home DVDs. The story should just be: Couple arrested on charges of child abuse.

While there do appear to be some bizarre situations involving pop-tarts recently, doesn't this whole story sound just a bit absurd somehow? Even some of the blogs and news reports I've read, which have unanimously condemned these characters, still mentioned how 'unbelievable' it all sounds. I mean, the whole contextual premise asserts a cause association between bodybuilders and pop-tarts... really?? The whole thing sounds unbelievably schizophrenic actually, with a statistical probability about equal to 'the dog ate my homework' or something. It sounds more like something i'd read on a tabloid cover, or other sensationalist publication.

You are an intelligent and reasonable member here, kisaj, whom I truly respect, and it seems strange to see you presume guilt so quickly, considering the questionable face value of this strange tale of punishment, pop-tarts, bodybuilding and intrigue (lol)
 
Honestly, I was going to come back to this and change my stance from "abusive" to endangering and never did. You are right that it is too early to say if they truly are being abusive based on these little tidbits of info, but I do feel based on the teenagers, grandmothers, and (step?)mothers commentary, that they are not acting and disciplining appropriately to the point of possibly endangering and humiliating her. As we know by now, if these things are reported, they are taken seriously and are investigated with the parents generally in a position of guilty before proven innocent. Not saying that is right at all, just saying.

As far as the story itself, it only reads as unbelievable because of how bizarre it is, but would I ever put it past someone- hell no.
