If you want to see me angry, just hurt a child. The news is just full of cases of missing and murdered children...innocent children. Parents tossing babies in the water, shaking babies until their bodies go limp, men molesting little girls still in diapers.....and it goes on and on and on and it must stop. Yeah, right, it takes a village to raise a child but what happens when the village idiot lends a hand by stealing children, physically, sexually and mentally abusing them? It seems that the village idiots are taking the children away, erasing their opportunity to be a doctor, a lawyer, a mother, a father, a teacher, a nurse, or anything else.

I am sure that these young children have gone to Heaven, but sadly they were murdered to get there. Some by sick and evil kidnappers and lots by their parents, sad to say. Their parents...the ones who were entrusted to nurture, protect, love, and provide for them....Yes it makes me angry. I've heard on separate occasions interviewed neighbors say that they thought something was wrong at the home, but they never reported it. The good people in the village have got to open their mouths when they think something is wrong. I'd rather apologize to a parent about calling the police later than to stand at the grave of a child weeping and feeling like maybe I could have done something. Some people say, well, things like this happen in real big cities. HA! It happens every day in towns as small as the one I live in and smaller. It happens in the wealthy communities, poor communities and all points in between. I pray that the recent high-profile cases of child kidnappings and murders are changing the way the public looks at murder victims and prompting the village people to protect these precious angels in a better way.

I pray for the families and little classmates of these children...the ones we hear about on the news and the ones we will never hear about because there are soooo many we never hear about.
