It is so disheartening to be reading about the recent spat of child abuse cases.

What has happened to our society ? Where are our compassion? Has the world become too unbearable to some, that they have to resort to violence towards the helpless? What about family values ???

Being a mom to 4 rambunctious kids, I cannot imagine a soul who would want to hurt them! And somebody close, to boot! Looking at the fragile face - I can only weep....How could the guy let anger smoldered his mind - and let emotions ruled him. The girl (blessed her) was only 3 years old, for goodness sake! 

Probably the family institution that we are in now is not what it used to be. I mean, in this particular case, the dad is in prison and the mom has been going out with the guy for 6 years. The guy is reportedly hot tempered - so there is a possibility that the abuse has been going on for a while, with the mother pretending that it did not happen. Some women do resort to this - it you pretend it does not happen, then it doesn't! 

There is a saying 'what you don't know, won't hurt you. But in this case, what the mum does not know, she had to pay dearly....

I do not wish to be in that situation....
