The thing that pisses me off most about the case of the twin girls was that a 2 year old child had ALREADY been removed from those asshole's custody 5 months before the twin's birth. Why the hell they were allowed to go home with those babies is beyond me.
I don't know, Janders. I don't know how someone could murder their infant. I don't know how people can hurt their kids, I even don't know how people can harm animals. I know I've got mad at my kids before, and I know I've visualized myself slapping my daughter's face for cussing at me - but I've never acted upon my anger or impulses. It hurts me to see my children in pain - when Jake (my littlest guy) fell off his bike and broke his arm I think I was more hurt than he was! So, I can't understand how some people can deliberately hurt or kill their own children, especially infants.
It sickens me, it really does.
I had you in mind when I made that comment because I remember all you have shared with us. My dad's cousin and his wife are extremely wonderful people who weren't able to have children of their own but gave a great life to two adopted children. They are happy grandparents now.
I agree that you have to be seriously sick in the head to hurt a child or infant. They are so little, helpless and innocent. Child abuse is one thing I have zero tolerance for.
