Beating a baby? And destroying her crib and shredding her mattress?
While there are no words, at the same time, there are words. I just can’t say them on this forum.
I think we can all agree that everything to do with Elizabeth’s “case” is beyond heartbreaking and infuriating and sickening.
This is just one example of all the many awful things we see here. I’ve been seeing a lot of recent child abuse cases where the kids are locked in some closet or basement, and found starving, covered in feces...siblings deceased...I clicked on about three in a row yesterday....there is never a shortage of child abuse, in the past, in the present, and in the future...My point is that while it is already beyond tragic that this young woman, with her whole life ahead of her, young daughter, baby on the way...was trying to get away from this man...stabbed to death...then you add a baby beaten and the most special, precious place, her crib, destroyed...child left without a mother...it’s always extra hard when children are harmed.
Further posts here will now include domestic violence resources, because really that’s the only way I know how to be productive, or proactive here. Maybe one day someone will read this, and realize it is
imperative to get away...you can do it...I know how one can get sucked in, this can happen to even the strongest person...if you don’t get away to save yourself, at least get away if you can to also save your children...there is hope. And there is a lot of support out there. I know because I’ve been there. And I had people who helped me. Helped me escape. They came out of nowhere like angels when I needed them.
Domestic Violence is already so common as it is, and then you add this pandemic which is known to accelerate this. I’ve listened to Doctor Tedros (WHO) talk about this many times.
I’m going to check WS database resources forum and see what we have here as far as links to DV organizations, etc.
