Young Girl Don't Cry...

I don’t understand it. I just don’t understand it. I can’t even begin to comprehend how people can be so cruel to another person, let alone their own child. Last night I read A Child Called “It”. Yeah. All of it. For those of you who don’t know, A Child Called “It” is about the true story of one of the worst child abuse cases ever recorded in the state of California. The third worst case to be exact. If a mother burning, starving, and isolating her child is only the third worst, I don’t even want to know what the second and first were. Reading this book made me want to buy the biggest castle in the world and be Mommy to every abused child in the world.

Some people just weren’t meant to be parents. Maybe it wasn’t their choice to become a parent, but that justifies nothing. I just can’t comprehend how a parent can look into the face of their child and then beat them within an inch of their life or scream at them until it causes them to run crying from the house.

Run. Sobbing. From their own house. I saw this tonight with my best friend. I won’t share details, but she's not going home tonight, and it breaks my heart to see her this way. Parents. Whether or not it was your choice to take on the title “Mom” or “Dad”, protect your kids with every last fiber of your being and tell them you love them every day. You have no idea how much kids need it and the negative effects it can have on them if they don’t feel loved.
