OMG What?! I hate hate HATE the way the world treats children! Sometimes I wish that whatever is done to the child would be done to the adult that hurt the child. In this case, I wish we could put her in a room for 21 months with people calling her a "" and beating her and then finally beat her till she doesn't move. THen I think "that would be to good for her, let her rot in jail!"
