I have been reading so much about child abuse here lately. everytime i watch the news, read a bulletin here, it is in front of me. why for the love of god do people have children and hurt them. children are such a precious gift from god. i could never imagine putting someone that i gave birth to through the torture that these poor babies have to endure. what could they have possibly done to bring on such rage from someone who is supposed to make their top priority making sure they are safe. it is really hard for me to even spank mine if they need it. there are so many wonderful people that would give anything for these precious babies that people just cannot seem to love. this drives me crazy. here on the news this week, a woman shot herself in the stomach to kill her baby, a man left his 7 month ol alone in a bed, and ultimately he got tangled up and suffocated. a man threw his toddler from a car into oncoming traffic. good lord. what has happened to our society? i cry for these children who have no one to love and protect them. if they survive their sad childhood, what kind of person will they possibly be with such a horrid start?
