You have 4-month-old twins and a boyfriend who is not the biological father living with you. That probably means you’ve only been dating a year or so which is not enough time to pull him into temporary daddy duty. When said boyfriend is an unemployed pot smoker with nothing to do while you’re at work I’m just going to go ahead and assume that he’s not babysitting material. Unfortunately Samuel Harris Jr. is proof of my point:

(WHAS11)–A Bullitt County man appeared in court Wednesday morning on charges of assaulting his girlfriend’s twin boys. 18-year-old Samuel Harris, Jr. is accused of abusing 4-month-old twin boys Aiden and Braden on Monday night at a home in North Bullitt County.Both boys were taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital where, according to family members WHAS11 spoke with, Aiden is considered technically brain dead. Braden is suffering from serious injuries, but is expected to be ok. Detectives are now revealing more about what happened the day of the abuse. Police say drug paraphernalia was found in the house, and the suspect told authorities exactly what happened on Monday when 4-month-old Aiden was harmed.One detective said, “His demeanor and that when we started the interview and his admission…it was pretty obvious in the beginning that he was the one we were looking at.” Officers said that Harris told them he’d been using drugs all day before the assault.

Who could have predicted that a person who used drugs all day might hurt a baby? It’s not like getting high changes your perceptions or behavior right?
