I just don't know anymore. I feel like acting like an ostrich and sticking my head in the sand by not watching the news. Pretty depressing. You can't turn on the radio or tv anymore without hearing about some nut abusing children. I can't help but wonder if the whole world has went crazy. My state (Illinois) had a website to keep tabs on sex offenders and I encourage everyone I know to look at it if they have children. Surprisingly, I know several people on there.
And then there's the case of where they are starving a woman to death in Florida now. Not even letting her family wet her dry, cracked, bleeding lips. What the heck have we became? I watched CNN this morning and a preacher was comparing letting her die to sending troops into war, knowing they were going to get killed. And you know, I had never thought of it that way until now. I don't know if she knows what is going on or not. But I couldn't do that to an animal, little own a human. And if it was my child, God pitty the individual that kept me from wetting her lips. They would not only have to be a lot bigger than me, but wearing a bullet proof vest I'm afraid. But then I guess I wouldn't be any better than they were. I think I will thank God it isn't my child, and pray for those who's child she is.
