Hello and welcome. Welcome to the not-in-line-with-the-rest-of-the-site serious post. The funny stuff is back a bit…or depending on how old this post is when you read it…forward a bit.
In fact, if you don’t want to read a serious post, move along to a different post. There is nothing but bad ahead if you continue on this road.
You are still here? Well OK then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Until a few months ago, when watching the bain of TV that is advertising, I would watch an advert for various charities asking for your money. One was the child protection people. They would show an abandoned or abused child in their ad to try to get your attention, pull at your heart and ask kindly for your money. It seems that every time I saw this ad, it was followed by an ad for animal cruelty.
Here is the thing…
On watching the abused children, I would have a “poor kiddie” moment. Then the poor wet lonely sad puppy comes on the TV. I wanted to empty my bank account to that charity every time to help save that sad puppy.
I didn’t feel heartless. After all, why should I? Everyone has their own priorities.
And then my daughter was born, and things changed. Quite a bit.
Every time I see that sad puppy, I still want to transfer my money to them. But when I see the abused child, I want to hurt the people that did it. I don’t mean a little…I want to hunt them down and hurt them. A lot.
Maybe it is because before now, I saw a child/baby as a human like me. Someone who can do something to change their life. Yes, I know that sounds stupid because a 3 week old baby has no chance of helping itself, but it is a mindset, whereas an animal relies on us to survive.
But with the birth of my daughter, I got a clearer mind and everything made sense. If someone was to try and hurt my daughter, I feel that I would not hesitate to end their life before thinking of the consequences. But then, if I was to see a child being abused, I think the same rule applies.
Take for example these three examples:
In THIS case, an 18 month old baby was used as a punchbag by the people who are there to protect him.
In THIS case, a woman put her baby in the microwave and cooked it until it died after an argument with her partner.
In THIS case, a man snapped his 16 month old daughters spine on his knee in a rage.
I hope all of the guilty parties in the above stories live a long life. With a couple of rules. These are:
They get raped by the biggest angriest bear in the world on a daily basis.
They let the other inmates to have some quiet time with them to inflict as much pain as they wish.
They get put on drug trials that slowly and with the most pain possible that can be caused to a person without them dying, their brains slowly melt while someone stabs them in the eyes repeatedly with a fork…but the nerves never get damaged as to numb the pain.
I don’t understand a humans ability to do this to a child. Last week, I was cutting Shawnee’s fingernails and accidentally took a bit of skin off of the end of her finger when she moved as I was cutting. I wanted to hang myself through the guilt I felt from the tears that arrived. If she was old enough, I would have bought her a pony or something as a sorry, yet someone will put a baby in a microwave and turn it on and feel no guilt?
I always said that having a child wouldn’t change me at all. It seems some things you have no control over. If you are human. Unlike the worthless scum that REALLY needs to feel pain like my examples above. If there is a hell, I hope the devil holds out his most painful treatment until they get there.
OK. Serious post over. If you made it this far, thanks for reading. Normal service to resume soon.
