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.
Re: these sad kid stories...
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!
