Anger
I hate watching the news. Don't get me wrong. I want to be informed about the happenings in my community, my country, and the world. But, for the most part, I just get angered by what I hear. Last night before bed I watched the 11:00 news. In the first five minutes there were several stories about children who were abused and the abusers who were caught beating them, raping them, neglecting them. I can not even begin to imagine what is in the minds of these kind of people. It angers me when there is any kind of abuse towards any human, but it is especially disturbing when it is young children. And the part that fueled my anger more than anything is that ever child mentioned in the headlines was 3 years or younger. That is my children. If someone where to do something to one of my children, I can't even imagine what I would do. I was brought to tears thinking about those children and wishing there was something I could do. Sadly, there is not.

My sister is working on a case right now involving an eight month old baby that was physically and sexually abused by the mom's boyfriend and her father for 5 months. The mother never turned them in and won't really blame them now. I try to not hear many of the details because it is too sad, but I have to say I think I get angrier at the mother for allowing it than I do at the ones doing it. (Not that there isn't plenty of angry for all three!!)
