I was talking to my mom today and could hear the news in the background talking about a murder of a 14 month old baby boy. Died of blunt force trauma to the head. WHYYYYYYY????????
My heart is just breaking. I can't believe my little guy will be 2 on Sunday and I have to smack him on the hand sometimes and that just kills me.
How can anyone hurt a baby? They are so precious and so full of life and have so much to learn and don't know right from wrong.
Tonight, after I shared the story with my husband, we had to peek in on him. He had fallen asleep with his giraffe on top of him. He is the most precious gift along with my other son.
Things get hectic as a parent or carer, but there needs to be a better way to reach out. Why can't children and youth services have a hotline manned 24 hours a day and give out the info at the birth with a magnet. I know it sounds crazy, but there has to be a way for outreach. I'm tired of hearing about children being hurt or killed.
I'm sorry for the rant, but needed to talk
God bless ladies ↓

| The people who do these kinds of things are sick in the head.A very dear little friend of mine (5yrs old) was murdered by her foster mother almost 4 years ago.She was drowned in the bathtub.There is no reason for murdering children and yet it happens every day.It is very sad ↑ |

| Depends on the situation I suppose. The person who did this is probably mentally disturbed. You'd have to be, to be capable of such cruelty. ↑ |

I agree briseis, and unfortunately, what can you do. You just have this overwhelming sense to help. Seems that alot of them lately have been where the mother left them with a boyfriend, you think that the mother would know that the guy has a temper or a short fuse. I know we all get anygry at times, but these are babies and they cry for a reason. It's just heartbreaking.
I'm sure you've heard the news about Maddy, the little 3 year old who went missing while on vacation. It upsets me that these parents neglected their children by leaving them on their own while the went around the corner to have dinner with friends. They still say they have done nothing wrong. If this happened in America, the parents would have been prosecuted. I would never leave my child, I don't even leave him with my 13 year old.
I could go on, but it just winds me up. Thanks for listening ladies
Question, I've seen your post and you and your family are in my prayers.
briseis, how have you been doing lately? Everything still ok? Getting closer to your big day! ↑ |

Daisy, I am so glad you said that about Maddy's parents. I'm sick of people feeling sorry for them. They played a HUGE part in her disappearance, and should be investigated by social services, not getting trips to visit the pope. Their behaviour is shocking. You do not leave your children unattended anywhere; it's a golden rule, and unfortunately it's that poor child whose had to pay for her parents' selfish behaviour.
Yeah I've been fine. Still being sick, what with me everything was fine. Joey was weighing just over 3 pounds. I'm now 30-weeks, and the nursery is really taking shape.
What about you? Hows things for you? Where in the UK do you live? ↑ |

LOL. I've no idea why I didn't type what I was meant to there!
I meant I'm still being sick what with me having hyperemesis. Had my antenatal check last week, and everything was fine! ↑ |

I live on the outskirts of Leicestershire.
I do pray they find that little girl alive, but it's been so long now and no real leads. I'm tired too of everyone feeling sorry for them and all the money that has been raised just for them and they are living pretty much scott free. I too was upset that they were flown in a private jet to meet the pope. Their family was in Rothely saying that they weren't just going there for Maddy, but for all the missing children. Not one word was said during service and for the brief moment they met with the pope, all they talked about was maddy plus the fact that they left their twins behind with friends, not even family. I could never leave them alone again. They interviewed the grandma and asked her questions about her daughter and grandchildren. She had a lot to say about her grandchildren but hardly anything to say about her daughter . So I question as to why the grandmother is staying away, perhaps she knows her daughter did wrong and probably is only supportive in getting Maddy back. And that's what angers me most. What about all the other children, what makes these people so special when they left their babies alone to go eat choosing against a nanny at the villa. I just think it's wrong.
I was just reading an article earlier that was saying if they don't find Maddy alive, their faith will be tested to the limits. Hello!!!!! YOU did this to Maddy, if YOU did the right thing, Maddy would still be here. God did not do this. I would just love to give them a mouth full. I know it's not my place to judge, but I have such a hard time with this one.
Thanks again for letting me rant and I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.
I'm glad you're doing better, you'll always be in my prayers as well. Try to take it easy and get rest while you can. Happy you had a good doc visit. Wow, 30 weeks already?!! Ethanael is going to be 2 on Sunday, I can't believe it and Alex will be 13 (yikes!) on the 22nd. Enjoy each and everyday with your baby boy when he arrives, time goes by too quickly. There is this country song called "Let them be little", it's so sweet.
Thanks again, and God Bless ↑ |

Daisy,
The system is so lenient over here; they are now releasing prisoners because they don't have the room! Let the criminals crowd in a cage on the floor! As for Madeline's parents, yeah they will get away with it. Perhaps they'll learn from their mistakes, but Madeline, in my opinion was never going to be found alive. :(
Aw your boy are 13 and 2! That's a nice age gap. I would like to wait quite a few years before having any more. ↑ |
