these sad kid stories...

those of you in Illinois have probably heard about this: the 19 month old that went missing last night was found dead (her body was found 2 hours before she was reported missing....hmm). Ever since I heard this on the news this morning I haven't been able to stop thinking about that poor little girl, who is the same age as our babies - and the cause of her death was blunt trauma to the head. It makes me so sick.

A few months ago it was the story of a little boy about the same age  or younger who was killed by his mother and her boyfriend. They stuffed him into a backpack and threw him away. Apparently his own mother beat him repeatedly as he wasn't potty trained. WTH is wrong with people?? There are always awful stories locally here like these. It's so very very sad. When we got home from working today (after hearing this story over and over on the news as that is the only radio station my H will listen to in the car), I gave Ava so many extra hugs and kisses.

  • This is disgusting. Seriously, I have no idea what makes people do such horrid things. How sad.

  • I can't even imagine.  I don't get how people do these things to their own children or anyone else's for that matter.

  • I haven't watched the news today, but that is disgusting. There is no reason for violence against a child. The safe haven law was created to help stop things like this from happening. There are so many loving families that would happily take an unwanted child.

  • There are some very messed up people in the world. It breaks my heart to hear stories like this. I really hope that there is a special place in hell for people who do these kinds of things.
  • With DH being a cop he has seen something's that no one should ever have to see. I am going to school to be an EMT and I've already ran calls on abused kids and we aren't allowed to say anything to the parents and it is HARD!

    We both come home and love on the boys nonstop, I couldn't imagine doing anything to hurt them and would KILL someone in a heartbeat if they tried!

    Today's society makes me sick and I at least get the satisfaction of knowing DH gets to put them away!
  • There was a story about a couple charged with murder because their 3 month old died of starvation. How do you not feed a baby? Ill.never understand these people

  • We had a case around here where an 18 month old was killed by her caretakers, I just can't ever imagine being so upset that I would hurt my kids.  It makes me so sick.  There is something definitely wrong with people who can do that.

    So in comparison this story around here is mild. Take that with a grain of salt. A couple of parents were arrested because they shaved their 12 year old daughters head and made her run back and forth in a diaper across a park in front of their apartment complex. When arrested they just laughed and couldn't believe they were in trouble for it.  Said if she was going to act like a baby she would look like a baby. This has stuck with me for a year. Again - so much less than a death, but the cruelty that some people are oblivious too is unfathomable to me. I'm not sure how once you have a child there is not an innate sense of duty to protect and care for them. How is this missing in people?

    I totally remember reading about that story! Do you know what happened to the parents? I hope they are in jail for a long long time. If they could do that to their kid, imagine what other things they've done to her or how they've treated her.

    I've heard a few in the news recently.  One was just horrifying and couldn't imagine that poor baby going through that.  It was a young couple that left their 6 month old in the infant carrier all weekend long.  Never feed or changed the baby's diaper.  When it would cry they would crank the music or tv so they didn't have to hear it.  The Mom was quoted as saying she made a bottle and laid it in the carrier with the baby and if it was hungry it would get the bottle when it was ready.  Um, NO most babies can't do that at 6 months.  The baby died from the feces eating away at it's skin and it's fists were clenched.


    If you don't want your child then give it up.  I never understand why some parents don't do this and put their kids through hell.  Possibly just for the money they get on their behalf.
    Omg that is horrifying! That poor baby!!! I feel absolutely sick now after reading this. I hope the parents rot in jail.
