You know, I can only visit this site every so often....if I come here too often, I'm totally depressed for days. I can't understand how people can get so angry or be so dumb or neglectful that they do such horrible things to innocent children.
I REALLY think there needs to be a movement that insists on some legislation to find a way to protect these kids.
I guess I think it needs to start at the hospital when these kids are born. I don't know...maybe parents need to undergo some sort of psychological test before they are allowed to take their kids home from the hospital...maybe it should be manadatory for all parents - and a social worker should have to do a visit to the home to see if it is fit. Maybe friends , neighbors , family should be questioned . Like you should have to bring in character witnesses or something to be questioned. I know people are probably rolling their eyes at what I'm saying....but it's a sad day when it's harder to adopt a pet from the humane society than to take an innocent child home.
I know this all sounds impossible because of the work load it would create and how much it would cost.....but what other answer is there?
Remember many years ago when there was no MADD and drunks were virtually given a slap on the wrist when they hit and injured/killed someone ( I have personal experience with this - my husbands sister and her friend were killed in 1980 by a drunk - and he got 6 months in jail and a $500 fine....real STIFF penalty....people saw him back in bars right afterwards)
Anyway, remember when Candy Lightener got MADD enough to do something. She changed the drunk driving laws and saved many many live since then.
I think this is the type of thing that needs to be done to save kids from lunatics who just happen to give birth to them.
It's just so frustrating:furious:
