Teen Mom: Amber Alert

Teen Mom

This week on Teen Mom:

Maci has settled the custody situation with Ryan so she’s just chilling in Nashville.  She discusses marriage with a friend poolside. Maci states that it’s too early, but they both definitely know they won’t be breaking up…excuse me for a moment while I laugh my ass off…Maci does admit that she would  say “yes” if he asked her. Not a big surprise, considering Maci’s history with saying “no”.

The DNA test reveals that there is a 99.6% chance that Derek is Sophia’s father.  Farrah seems a little too relieved. As a result, Farrah’s lawyer doesn’t suspect that they’ll have any problem getting Sophia her survivor benefits. Resolution is BORING!

Gary’s staying at his brother’s place with Leah. Clearly this is a half brother. Gary states that in 3 weeks he lost his girl, his house, and 30 pounds. I would think he’d lose a good 15 lb. with an average shit. Nevertheless, Gary should try to lose 5 more girls and 5 more houses to avoid dying from diabetes by the age of 30. Amber is really missing Leah and knows she went too far so, to cope, she gets her nails done with cousin Krystal (she undoubtedly broke a nail  beating the 30lb. of shit out of Gary). Amber shares that she has a date with some piece of trash she met at Walmart. She’s still upset with Gary threating CPS.  She’d never want to put Leah through all “that”, but let’s get back to what’s really important, Amber getting it in.  She’s excited for her date because this time around she’s going to try a “nice guy” because Gary was such a bad boy? WTF? This bitch is dumb.

Catelynn and Tyler have been having a shitty time. They couldn’t graduate from high school and April is still Catelynn’s mom.  Yeah, it’s pretty shitty. But, they get a call from baby merchant Dawn and meet her for some good news.  They get to visit Carly! Later, they discuss whether or not she’ll recognize them. Fuck no, you idiots, she’s a stupid baby.  Catelynn is worried that when April finds out, she will react like she did when He-Man tried to defend the secrets of Castle Grayskull.

tandc-10-5-2010Life still sucks for Tyler and Catelynn,

but don’t Catelynn’s hands look like they belong to Tyler?

Amber calls Gary to half-assly apologize, but really she just wants him to return Leah.  He agrees to bring her over and I’m pretty sure he says “I love you” and she just hangs up. When they arrive, Amber is sitting on her ass.  Do you notice that Amber always sitting or lying on that mattress? Trying to figure out how this bitch lost all that weight since she doesn’t appear to ever move. Gary thanks her for apologizing and Amber gets down to it.  She only apologized so she could break the news about meeting someone. It’s been 4 days for Christ’s sake! Clearly Amber is looking for any opportunity to keep Gary away. Gary asks if she’s going to introduce him to Leah and Amber’s all “It’s not there yet” . No shit? Amber starts to get irritated and  this could have easily escalated to another “pig slaughter” if Gary hadn’t left. He returns to his brother’s apartment all melancholy. He reveals to his brother’s girlfriend that he’s going to apologize to Amber.  It’s not Amber’s fault that Gary’s fat get’s in the way of her punching fists.

Catelynn tells April over the phone about the meeting with Carly. April gets super pissed that Catelynn didn’t wait to tell her in person. April storms into the house with serious attitude. Catelynn tries to talk to her, but April’s too busy acting like a child. Catelynn sits in Tyler’s car and cries. They discuss April’s selfishness and Catelynn believes April’s pissed that her daughter is making better decisions.

For some reason Gary thinks that sending flowers to Amber is that right move. He goes to some god awful florist and talks to the cashier about how he’s trying to make things right with his baby mama.  In the middle, his phone rings and it’s Amber.  She wants him to watch Leah so she can go whore it up with Chris (the Walmart guy).  Gary explains that he is in the middle of something and Amber starts to chew him out. Why did she want him to bring Leah back if she was just going to turn around and ask him to watch her? Gary proceeds with his flower order then gets in his van and cries all the way to Amber’s.  Poor Chubs!

Despite Kyle’s claim that “Him’s not old enough”, Maci proceeds with potty training Bentley. Meanwhile, Kyle’s demanding work schedule means his tired and needs to go to bed early.  But, Maci is bored and wants to get it on.  She never imagined Kyle would be this unavailable.

A dinner with Kassy, Derek’s sister, gives Farrah further closure.  She opens up about her fears of finding love again and Kassy reiterates that she was Derek’s one and only love.

farrah-10-5-2010Damn Farrah, you need to stop crying in public

With the Carly meeting just a week away, Catelynn and Tyler need to get busy on the scrapbook. But the whole thing is just too much for Tyler, who also appears to have finally started puberty.

Maci talks to her   friends about how things between her and Kyle have changed, no shit?

Amber’s all dolled up for her date when Chris.  She goes to pick him up from his work place which appears to be a junkyard.  In order to set his best foot forward, he changes into a “nicer” shirt behind a car.  Amber’s not quite sure about Chris, but states “This may be just want I need”.  Amber, I can guarantee you that Chris is not what you need, unless he is a therapist.

chris-10-5-2010Classy

They head to a restaurant called “3 Pigs”. Awwwww…she must be missing Gary! That’s so sweet! Chris reveals that he’s been in trouble and is currently in a work release program. He tells Amber that meeting  her was the best day of his life.  He also claims to love that she has a baby. And she’s all “Can you handle being a parent?” WTF? Why don’t you first make sure he isn’t a registered sex offender? Amber doesn’t quite buy it, but she goes with it, thinks it sweet! PUH-LEASE! They proceed to make out in the booth.   Too bad Walmart doesn’t have a free clinic, or does it?

Sophia’s social security benefits are a go! She will receive $236 a month and Farrah’s excited to tell her parents. However, Farrah must have forgotten that her mother is a raging cunt-face. Not only does she poo poo on  the $236 a month, she also starts to get super passive aggressive about Farrah and Sophia being in contact with Derek’s family. When Farrah mentions that they want to get together more (once a month), Debra responds, “There’s not a lot of time right now”. Yeah, Debra’s really busy this month, there are a look of puppies that need shooting.

Amber manages to get her ass of the couch and answer the front door. It’s flowers, but from whom?  Amber reads the pathetically heartfelt note and before I could even point out Gary’s atrocious misspelling of “recently”, Amber does.  She then proceeds to laugh. It’s sad and all, but really, is a fatty that’s also a bad speller worth loving?

Maci’s dropping Bentley off with Ryan and you can tell she’s excited to get some alone time with Kyle.  She wants to go out, but Kyle is “tired”. Man Maci, it must really suck to be so clueless.

Farrah has arranged another therapist meeting with her mom. Good idea! Farrah states that the relationship has improved. Debra reveals that Farrah has matured.  She still remembers how Farrah wanted to get an abortion (a pretty reasonable option) and how Debra talked her out of it. Of course, she did, why should Farrah be allowed to makes these choices for herself? The therapist brings up Derek’s passing and Debra’s says that people “romanticize” things. She remembers the bad things the “baby daddy” (her words, not mine) did to Farrah. And since they were broken up during the time of his death, how could it possibly affect Farrah? Damn, I think Debra may be the worst parent on Teen Mom. In short, the therapist tells her that that’s stupid and Debra apologizes. Let’s hope they can work this shit out, for Sophia’s sake.

Catelynn packs for her trip and April comes in with a dress for Carly. Catelynn tells April that she hopes she can forgive her for selling Carly.  April isn’t over it, especially since Catelynn said she was going to name Carly after her. I don’t really like “Carly”, but it’s definitely better than “Skeletor”. During their tender mother-daughter talk, April tells Catelynn, “Don’t tell me how to be a mom when you couldn’t be one…” and storms out. Ironically, April’s shirt has peace signs all over it. Swastikas would be more appropriate. Catelynn, just like Gary, apologizes to her abuser and all is well, for now.

Kyle’s coming over to talk.  This can’t be good. When Maci asks if this was all too much too soon, Kyle doesn’t hesitate to answer “kinda”. He adds, “too much weight on my shoulders, kinda a headache”. What a charmer! When Maci asks if they are going to work this out, he states “We haven’t yet”. Maci explains that if they break up, it’s for good.  She asks, “What now?” Kyle responds “I guess we tried” and leaves. Nice. Take about “hit it and quit it”. I guess fire crotch isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Maci remains composed.

maci-10-5-2010I guess the carpet matches the drapes and Kyle’s ready for a remodel!

Gary is going over to Amber’s to talk about the flowers, etc. Gary acts like he is at fault for all their problems and Amber lets him take the blame! Amber tells him she’s dating and Gary leaves upset.

Maci’s friends come over and she tells them that the person she wants to marry just walked out the door. Seriously? Do you ever learn? She says she more upset for Bentley.  I’m guessing Bentley liked being the smartest male around. Sorry Bentley, but that’s what you get when your mom treats every guy like husband-material.  Despite this Kyle fiasco, Maci has decided to remain in Nashville. She thinks it will help her grow, but we all know she just doesn’t want to hear the “I told you so’s” from EVERYBODY.

Farrah takes Sophia to the park and tells her about her dad.  She attempts to go her pictures, but Sophia isn’t interested because she’s a fucking baby.

    Kadooz to you, Nerdia for recapping this depressing mess.

    Maci got dumped by another boy who doesn’t want to be a dad — big surprise. No doubt doughboy will be but the first of many ‘daddies’ Bentley will get to know over the years.

    Oh how i wish Catelynn would move the fuck away from that methlabmama. I really and truely think that is her only chance at having a good life.

    And Amber….my god what a whore. What the hell is wrong with Gary that he keeps going back for more – and worse still, why he would just drop off Leah with the psycho bitch? I look at Leah but I see Catelynn when she was 2.

    And what a bitch is Farrahs mom? Now Sophia has it on film that her mom thought about aborting her. Wonder where that is going in the memory book?

    Amber pisses me off! She is a self conceived bitch. I think its funny that she complain so much about how she doesnt have the time to get a GED, yet she always has lots of time to lay around, get her nails done, and do some kick boxing. I am not a fan of gary … but I actually felt really bad for him this episode. He is just trying to make things right and Amber just keeps playing the victim. Oh, and this new guy she is dating really gives me the creeps. If Amber is not careful she may actually end up being the victim. Ok, off of my soap box now. I am just so sick of Amber and her holier then thou attitude.

    i just got done reading perez hilton, and apparently chris the wal-mart parking lot guy is a registered sex offender for molesting children! creepshow! no wonder his work release is in a junkyard. he probably isn’t allowed to be anywhere he can run into children. i’m surprised he’s allowed to be at wal-mart. my local store is always teeming with the brats!

    Great recap! This show is so depressing but I keep on hoping that Catelynn will move out and Amber will give Leah to a family that won’t screw her up for life. This show definitely gives the nurture side a leg up in the whole nature vs. nurture debate.

    I can’t believe Amber didn’t leave skid marks when that crazy was saying he “loved” Leah. Maybe I heard wrong and he said he loved the idea but I thought he said he loved Leah. Warning bells were ringing all over the place!! He was moving way too fast. Any girl with self esteem would have said there was no way anyone could be that in to someone that fast. I thought Amber was catching on when she clarified that meeting her was the best day of her life, but then she kissed him. Ew….

    I don’t like Gary either but man, she can’t empathize with him at all? Does she not remember when he met the chick at Walmart and she was crying with the mascara running down her face? I hope Gary goes back to the diaper aisle and meets another girl. They are toxic together.

    Powder pissed me off this week. Who does that? He knows her parents. They were childhood friends. I wish her dad would kick his ass, just because. If it’s not going to work then fine, but the summer wasn’t even over and she MOVED for you assclown! She has a child – not cool. I hope Maci moves back. She will need the support. I bet Powder will be back after awhile. He will realize what a catch Maci is for him. Who else would date that clown?

    These poor girls. Someone ought to tell them to concentrate on raising their kids and getting an education and forget about having a BF for awhile. They are train wrecks that have already happened, and it’s their babies who are going to pay the price.

    Don’t MOVE to be with a guy you barely know! Is anybody advising these girls?

    Thanks for the re-cap Nerdia. I can imagine that it is pretty hard to turn a turd into a gold nugget.

    As far as the Perez info. While I don’t doubt that it could be true,the page he shows to prove it seems a little funky to me. For example, it said “child molester” instead of the proper charge of child molestation.

    At the risk of committing a faux pas of posting etiquette, due to the controversial nature of the situation, I’m pasting the relevant part of a comment I posted on the thread about the previous episode:

    “OK, this is me saying I was wrong. Kyle turned out to be a dud instead of a stud. Props to Maci for her decision to dump his sorry ass, be cool & stay in school.”

    I will add that I stand by my opinion that transferring to a school where she can pursue the course of study she wants was a good choice, independently of whether or whom she dates while she pursues it.

    In that, she is no different from any other college student.

    Her own comments, about the benefits of learning to be more self-reliant and independent, aren’t that uncommon.

    Most of us have known young people who have done things like work while attending school, even though they could have gotten money from home instead. Maybe not quite as many as claim to have done so on some internet forums :) (I don’t mean here).

    In some cultures, the extended family is the norm, and adult children who do NOT live either in the same household, or in an attached or nearby structure within a compound are the exception, but “leaving the nest” is a pretty standard thing in the context of US culture, although due to the economic transition, we’ve started to see some trends toward change, (but that’s a discussion for a different forum), and for now, it’s still generally accepted and expected that kids, married or single, parents or not, will leave home and make their own lives apart from their parents, and this is an event that typically takes place sometime around the time the child begins post-secondary education or enters the labor force.

    Amber has plenty of excuses for not getting her GED. She has to work, tan, practice martial arts and cruise Walmart for Prince Charming. The truth is Amber’s not very smart. She dumps Gary? For a possible child-molester. From a mistake, to the possibly worst mistake of her life. Amber gets 50 points off her score for being such a jackass.

    Catelynn should put herself up for adoption. Thank goodness she put Carly’s needs before her own, now if she can just get out of her Mom’s house.

    @bahurupiya – I wish that Maci had moved to Nashville only for her education. But she moved for a boy.
    She seems the most levelheaded, and she seems to have a long range goal for herself and Bentley. I truely hope that she doesn’t end up like so many girls before her – with a boyfriend who abuses her child. My niece worked in the pediatric ICU and said that most of the children were hurt while their mothers boyfriends babysat. Statistics don’t lie, and I for one can’t help but worry that Bentley will become a victim to his mothers desire for a lovelife.

    @Ohralphie, you bring up some good points and i see where you’re coming from, but I’d say that’s a pretty harsh worry for Bentley after Maci seriously dated ONE (?) guy since Ryan…from what I’ve seen at least from the show, it doesn’t depict that she’s gone out desperately looking for many guys to satisfy her love life. Kyle was someone she dated before and old feelings were rekindled. Now perhaps, outside the filming of the show,she was dating guys left and right and being irresponsible, and I’d have to eat my words, but I don’t get the feeling that was the case. Moving for a boy… not the smartest decision but I’d like to be optimistic and hope that Maci is level-headed enough to be careful about who she trusts with Bentley. While Kyle turned out not to be up to the job, as far as I’ve seen… he wasn’t abusing Bentley. So far Maci has not been that statistic.

    For all we know Maci and Kyle could get back together.

    I HATE Amber, she might have gotten skinny but her face is busted and she is just evil and disgusting. It shows on her face. Anybody that could make me feel bad for Gary must be a disgusting human being.

    Poor Catelynn, her mother is just horrible and extremely immature. I feel so bad for Catelynn because her mother is always humiliating her in front of Tyler and her friends, she really needs to leave that environment.

    The silver lining in Kyle and Maci’s breakup is that maybe Maci would not involve her next BF in her child’s life so quickly. I do agree with @ohralphie that it was a bit disturbing and alarming from a mom’s perspective, to see a woman let her bf get so involved in the child’s life. These days, you never know.. Plus, what about the abandonment issues little Bentley will develop with all of these men walking in and out of his life? They hug and kiss his mom, play with him, and then…poof. They disappear. Then, another will arrive that does the same. It’s so confusing for a child. Hopefully, Maci’s next relationship will be taken a bit more slowly..with an introduction to Bentley only after things become serious. I keep remembering the scene in season one when Maci was complaining to her friends about Ryan’s disinterest in his son and she says, “Watch. Bentley is going to be calling some other guy daddy and we’ll see how (Ryan) feels then.” Then how cute she thought it was when bentley called Kyle, ‘da-da.’ Yep..if I was Kyle, I’dve run for the hills, too. Too much, too soon. If the biological dad has a tough time accepting resposibility, imagine how easy it is for the new boyfriend to become overwhelmed and seek a way out. In the end..they’re all just kids, trying to find their way.

    @Anne McGill I’m not sure she needs an excuse. We’re not all blessed with the exact same aptitudes for academic studies, although with all the mental health issues she has going on, it probably wouldn’t be possible to accurately assess whether the GED would be a good fit for her capacity or not. Certainly I would think it more urgent that she get treatment for that before worrying about her GED, and I hope she is doing that.

    @ohralphie I’ll be the first to admit that my own definition of “moving for a boy” is based on choices I’ve seen people make over the years, and will be inevitably colored by those events.

    To me, if the move is really “for the boy,” then there aren’t any visits to the advisor to discuss the school where the boy lives, or any transfers, or any more school, unless it’s at the boy’s behest and/or insistence.

    Nor would there be even a declaration of intent to remain there post-boy, but an immediate return home, or to the home of a friend to grieve and regroup.

    My speculation, which is only that – speculation – is that in Maci’s case, the boy was almost certainly an additional, and attractive incentive to get off her butt and make the move, but it’s a move she would have made in any event – if she wanted to study journalism, one she would have HAD to make, to a location where that was possible, and in that way, *this* boy also gave her an excuse to move just a couple of hours from home.

    If she were a little older, with a little more life experience, (and in the absence of a boy) :) she probably would have considered the merits of a number of J-schools, and chosen one based on other things besides geography.

    One of the things I’ve seen consistently come up when this show is discussed, is that not everybody agrees on the question of whether single mothers should date, or have romantic relationships with men at all, and opinions on both sides tend to be strong ones.

    Obviously, Maci doesn’t agree with the “shouldn’t date at all” faction, and seems, in fact, to consider it an important aspect of her life, but neither does she come across as someone who thinks that is, or should be the ONLY aspect of her life.

    Now if NEXT week we see her back in the little town where her parents live, I will come back here and eat my words baked into a cyber-hat! :D

    I just want to sit Catelynn down and tell her that no matter what she does she will never get her mother’s love. April is too wrapped up in herself and her addictions or a lover to ever see her daughter that stands right in front of her unless April wants something from her.

    That will never change. It would be best for Catelynn to work hard to get out of there and have limited contact with her miserable excuse for a mother.

    I will have to say that at least Farrah is going forward with her life. Therapy can give you tools to look inside yourself and that her mother continues to go..Rome wasn’t built in a day.

    Maci. She is still learning and growing. My daughter changed tremendously from the time she was 18 til now (almost 21). Hopefully this is a wakeup call for her.

    God Amber…what a crowd of shit. I get so emotional over Leah because I see every episode Amber molding that sweet little girl into another statistic and I feel so helpless.

    I think they had said before that Maci knew Kyle since they were kids, and that his parents are friends with Maci’s parents. So she has pretty much known Kyle all her life and he knew the whole situation before he got romantically involved with Maci. I just cannot believe the way Kyle treated Maci. I thought he was a super nice guy but he really is a jerk. I think Maci was the first girlfriend he ever had and now he will probably get more girls just because he was on the show. In his mind, he has gone from dud to stud overnight.

    Amber is awful. Gary is trying to be civil and rectify the situation and all Amber can say is “Gary, I am dating”. Nothing about let’s work on this for Leah or you know what you’re right we need to be civil for Leah’s sake. I am a Gary fan. I think he’s a good guy, but he may be lazy which with a little motivation I am sure could be taken care of.

    Farrah’s cry face is awful…I almost have to turn away b/c it’s so horrible.

    Maci will be fine. If it wasn’t Kyle, Maci would have left home. Maci always wanted to leave Chattanooga and also wanted to be independent from her parents. Although I am sure it will be harder to have moved to a city where you do not know many people she seems like a smart girl and will recover.

    How is Catelynn suppose to be a productive citizen with someone constantly tearing her down? I really wish she had more of a support system. Maybe someone in Michigan is watching the show and can offer her some free counseling and maybe be a mentor for her.

    I’m guessing Maci and Powder get back together since they have been all over US Weekly in the last month and this show was filmed a while back.

    What is with Gary and Amber both meeting people at Wal-Mart? When i go to the one by my house I try not to make eye contact with anyone and sprint thru the aisles grabbing what I need and trying to get out of there as quickly as possible!

    Meeshell, I saw that too. I had forgotten until you mentioned it. Yeah, first she’s going to Vegas and now she’s driving a BMW while her husband is in jail and can’t make bail.

    And since someone mentioned it last week, I’ve been watching Amber for any show of affection toward Leah, haven’t seen it yet. And it is odd how Leah will cry for Gary, but if Amber leaves or Gary brings Leah back to Amber…..Leah could care less.

    I think it is fine for single mothers to date, but they shouldn’t make it the focus of their lives above themselves and their child(ren). And I’m not sure these young women have the maturity to handle it appropriately regarding the child; as others have pointed out, it is not appropriate to make the guy a part of the child’s life early on, only to have a series of men appear and disappear, with all the attendant emotional turmoil on full display. And I am of the opinion that part of growing up and becoming an adult is being able to be alone (not in a relationship or dating) so that you don’t just grab the next one to come down the road.

    I don’t think Amber knew the guy was a child molester when she met him at Walmart. Pedophiles prey on single mothers, since they (the women) have difficulty finding men who want to get involved with women with children. They give them all that crap about “ready-made family” and “loving children” and some women lap it up. Is he on probation? If so, he is surely barred from contact with children.

    Caitlynn has been raised with a skewed sense of values, courtesy of white trash mama. I’m sure they are in debt up to their eyeballs with leasing fancy cars, renting furniture, or running up high balances on their credit cards to finance what mama thinks is important in life (not earning money, getting an education, doing right by your kids, etc., but being entitled to have all the material things that you see on TV).

    Amber is the worst. In the first season of Teen Mom, wasn’t she on Klonopin or something? I can tell you as someone who has taken it before that it knocks you on your ass as far as being such a mean bitch and getting violent is concerned. It absolutely calms you down. I took it for anxiety regarding insomnia. It was literally given to me to calm me and put me to sleep. She is a beast if she’s taking those things and still continues to act this way. A stupid, ignorant, lazy beast. Grab Leah, and run, Gary, run!!!! If the “sister wives” are being investigated for putting their law-breaking asses on a tv show, then so should Amber. She absolutely is guilty of domestic abuse. And I agree, Leah doesn’t seem to do much but cry when with Amber and that the crying is usually for Gary. He may be the fat one, but she’s the pig.

    The sad thing is that I remember at one point, back in the day (either on Teen Mom season 1 or her episode of 16 & Pregnant), Amber was one of the better moms. I wonder what happened? Because now she is seriously the worst.

    @Kelly… I agree, thinking about the earlier seasons, Amber and Gary seemed to have done a complete flip in terms of responsibility and personality. It’s really unfortunate.

    On a different note, thanks for the recap Nerdia! I missed this episode but your snark and recap got me right back to speed. I agree with many commenters… it’s got to be a hard show to recap, but you find a good balance!

    Hollagirl & Kelly: Interesting point. From my completely unprofessional armchair, some mental illnesses (schizophrenia and bipolar come to mind most readily) can really start to manifest around the post-high school years. If it’s one of those, Klonopin won’t do much unless it’s used with other, more heavy duty meds. I’ve been on Klonopin for a long time for anxiety/panic disorder and aggressive is a really hard state to get to when you’re taking it regularly. I just take it in advance of triggering events and it makes me super-floaty. Amber is anything but floaty.

    I had to look away from my TV during the whole Creepy Chris scene at the Little Piggy restaurant. Totally freaked me out. I about died when they were rubbing noses and they were so far apart cause Creepy Chris’ nose was so freakin’ long!

    The possibility totally crossed my mind that the Kyle-Maci breakup was scripted for the show – it was just so unemotional, on both sides, and really cruel on Kyle’s side. I try to give this show more credit since it seems more Documentary than “Reality” but that whole scene seemed a bit manipulated.

    Yeah… The more I think about it the more its starting to seem a bit scripted actually.
    @spreadhead… Good eye. I didn’t even notice that!
    Are they doing another season after this or is it the last one?

    There is nothing wrong with people with criminal history being around children (Although there are obvious exceptions like someone with a violent/sexual history of crimes). America is #1 in prisoners per capita with THREE TIMES more than the #2 country. 1 in 30 Americans is in jail, in prison, on probation, or on parole. That’s a HUGE number. You can go to jail for driving without a frickin’ license to work, blowing .1 over the legal limit, being behind on child support, or getting caught with $5 worth of marijuana. America’s criminal justice system is a joke and almost all prisons are private (run for profit).

    Saying “no child should be around someone with a criminal history”, if your child has been around more than 30 people it’s statically likely one of them had a “criminal history”. The vast majority of people with criminal histories have them for non-violent victim less crimes. Also I believe the guy was on work release? If so it’s worth mentioning you only get work release for non-violent/sexual minor crimes.

    quick summary: MTV already presented actual facts that it was not true (If there was any hint of truth they would have exploited it and rode it for all it’s worth). It could not be true any ways, because you cannot get work release for violent or sexual crimes (even if the sexual crime was committed in the past, and the current time being served was non violent/sexual)

    There is a big difference between letting your child be around Uncle Fred who spent time in jail/prison for drug possession or embezzlement versus introducing a stranger with an unknown criminal past to your child.
    In the case of a relative or friend a person would know the charector of the person, not just their crime. Some guy you meet at Walmart? Not so much.

    I have a relative who is currently serving time in prison, I’m not being ‘judgemental’ or brushing all criminal/felons with the same brush. But that said, I would never let my children be around my brothers friends – ever. I know his charector but I have no idea about theirs.

    @ohralphie, you make a good point. But regarding strangers vs. Uncle Fred..isn’t the statistic that children are more likely to be sexually abused by a relative or close family friend? They have more opportunity to ‘groom’ the child and more opportunites to commit the acts of abuse. (I watch alot of Oprah, lol)

    @sarca – very true about molesters being a family member. But aren’t most abusers mommys boyfriend? Amber is playing with fire, but its Leah that will get burnt.

    And anyway, what I meant about family member that is a criminal is that you would know the extent of their crimes versus some guy you picked up at Walmart. Thats not to say that I can totally see Amber dropping off Leah at Uncle Fred who has a criminal history of child abuse to be babysat. But for normal people, the criminal in the family is usually well enough known to be able to determine if they can be trusted around children or not (not babysitting, just being in the same room ;) ).
    Now, I can trust my brother not to do drugs at the Thanksgiving dinner table but I certainly wouldn’t trust him to babysit or even petsit for that matter.

    I just did some Googling and found out that Amber’s Wal-Mart guy is NOT actually the same guy in that crime report (the one listed as a child molester): http://www.nydailynews.com/gossip/2010/10/09/2010-10-09_teen_mom_amber_portwood_dating_registered_sex_offender.html

    THANK GOODNESS. However I do wish I would have known that before watching last night’s episode. I was literally CRINGING as I watched Amber’s BF change and dress Leah (which he shouldn’t be doing anyway, I totally agree with Gary on that one).

    I was ENRAGED at Amber in last night’s episode (sorry to jump the gun but I feel like I have to vent about it)! When she was all, “Chris is helping me out so now I can relax.” Seriously??!! All she DOES is relax, and let her baby run around a disgusting house!! Does she even work part-time anymore? The only way I would assume she still has her tanning salon gig only because she looks so orange. I HATE HER!!! GARY TAKE LEAH AWAY!!

    Something I’ve been wondering about since someone mentioned the BMW April was driving – is it possible she bought the car with money Catelyn has received from the show? I hope not.

    I said something similar in the forums Bionic. Is she so lazy she would let some sleeze she just met move in to pay her bills so she doesn’t have to work. Hate her!! I was cringing too, thinking it was true and that is why MTV edited it that way. I was doing stuff during the show and didn’t give it my full attention, but does Gary know that guy is staying there? If so, he really needs to flip out about that to me.

    @kd I know! Also – criminal history aside (which I know is kind of like saying, “Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?”) – Amber has only has been dating this guy for A FEW WEEKS! So Amber, you know this guy you met at WALMART (aka, a complete stranger) for a FEW WEEKS and let him move in with you and your infant daughter?? And you let him change and dress her??! It boggles my mind.

    @gifford, the pic does look a lot like him, I agree. But MTV is maintaining it’s a different guy. I just hope they are correct for the baby’s sake and not just trying to cover their asses. I know it’s not the crew’s responsibility to “step in” but this would really, really be crossing the line.

    Whenever I see how sweet and beautiful Leah is, and I see Amber just blatantly neglect her (she doesn’t even supervise Leah when she’s eating – I remember once she was in another room when Leah was struggling to eat a full apple, Amber didn’t even cut it up for her) I can’t help but cry. Gary needs to stop apologizing for any vague “misdeeds” he’s done in the past and really come down on Amber even harder for her ABYSMAL parenting.

    Between crying because of sadness & anger for Leah and also joy & poignancy for Tyler and Catelynn’s reunion with Carly, I was a frickin’ mess watching this show last night!!

    @ Bionic Television I Agree! I cried too. But I could only stare in disgust at Amber, she is a bipolar mess! Gary seems to have grown up and unless they really butchered up those scenes, that girl is really unstable, crying and saying he was cussing at her and yelling…not what I saw. Can’t wait for the recap!

    Oh, I CANNOT WAIT for Dr. Drew to call April, Farrah, and Amber out on their behavior! Although he’ll probably be easier on Farrah and Amber, because they’re younger. Still, I like how he can shame practically anyone without resorting to badgering or theatrics. Unlike some other doctor, whose name rhymes with Dill!

    Oh I don’t know, Sweet_Dee..Id kinda like to see “Dill” start out with “if you think I just fell off the turnip truck while I was shucking corn in the back forty on my horse”.. And then end with “You girls act like a cat in heat while they are climbing the barn looking for a mouse with whiskers longer than a cow.” :-)
