About Children

< About children I want to talk. Everyday I hear on the news, that somewhere a child has been murdered or abused. What has happened to our Society? Are we deaf or have we gone blind?

All these stories have been heard before. A family member, could be involved too. It could be an uncle, a brother, maybe even their own mother. A father too has killed his own child, because the baby cried. A child is defenseless against grown ups - so let's you and I do our part. Next time it could be - your child or mine... >

Everything you have stated here is undeniably true. We can't even trust priests in our parishes these days. This is a sad, but good write.
