Below are links to two stories where either one or both
parents murdered their child. These events happened within a short time of each
other. This type of behavior is common in the animal kingdom but should not be
with highly evolved mammals like humans. I will never know what goes through a
person's head when they commit acts like these. I once left my 2 year old in
the car when I went inside to get take out for dinner. I was in there for 15
minutes and when I came out and realized I forgot my son I started sobbing like
a baby and now 14 years later I still have not forgiven myself. I could have
easily lost track of time and come out too late. I might as well have died
myself if that would have happened because I would not have been able to live
with myself. Luckily, it was not for that long and my son was safe although a
little sweaty. He's now 16 has a 4.0 grade point average and plays high school
basketball. But even as I write this I'm still disappointed in myself or that
momentary lapse of thinking. In one of these stories below the mother and her
live in boyfriend kill the woman's daughter. They then pack up there things and
try to disappear only to be found at the train station. There was evidence of
sexual assault and blunt force trauma. What kind of animal(s) can do this to a
3 year old? If you can do this to a 3 year old do you deserve to live any
longer? I don't think so. How do we expect to ever evolve as a society if we
leave people like this to procreate or share their ideas with others? In the
other story the mother and father are arrested after the police suspect that
the 5 year old was beaten and later died because of the injuries. The child
woke up and complained about his eyes hurting but was told to go back to bed.
In our society the people that either can't afford children or should not have
children end up having the most children. While the people that can afford
children or are mature enough to have children have less children. This
statistic is disturbing. This is because people that can afford children only
have on average 2 children. They feel that they need to give each child
attention and be able to afford college for these children. On the other side
of the spectrum they're having children for money. They get government
assistance and they see each additional child as a revenue source. They have
one child and then see how much more money they get for an additional one and
it's too tempting to avoid. Instead of using government assistance for what
it's intended for they use it as their crutch. It was intended to assist you
through tough times not to live off of long term. Now those people have 3+
children and they can't afford them because the government assistance was meant
only as a safety measure and so the kids end up insecure because they cannot
afford to have the items that more fortunate children have. The parents also do
not have the time to give each of these additional children the same amount of
attention. All around the situation screams of insanity yet the cycle continues
generation after generation. The problem long term is that individuals like the
people in the articles below will be allowed to server a sentence that often is
not severe enough for the crime. A child lost their life and the murderer will
be allowed to re-enter society after serving a sentence. But what sentence fits
the crime? How can you let a person out of prison if they murdered a child?
That child never gets to breathe again yet we let the people that murder them
back out into society for a retry? How is that right? The argument against
capital punishment is that they get rehabilitated in prison before they
re-enter society. Anyone who attempts to make this argument obviously has not
been in prison or even researched the conditions in prison. Prison is a place
where people do not become rehabilitated. They become conditioned to survive in
an environment that is not conducive with rehabilitation. Guards often get
satisfaction by placing new inmates with other inmates that they know will
either sexually violate them or severely harm them. This is a game to the
guards because they do not see these individuals as deserving better treatment.
They also see it as their way of punishing these individuals for crimes they committed
and teaching them a lesson. Now, the person that was already damaged because
they murdered a child is now even more angry and hostile because they are now
being tortured. I'm not having sympathy for these individuals as much as I'm
trying to say 2 negatives do not equal a positive. What's more is that we put
all of these murderers in the same place so that now they can actually discuss
their actions with other likeminded individuals and now spend time learning new
ideas. They can learn ways to avoid being caught the next time they have a
chance to commit the same crimes. Now when they re-enter society they have kind
of attended a university for violent criminals. They are able to use these new
tricks of the trade to avoid being caught the next time. It's almost as if we
used the prison system as a sort of catch and release program. My question is
how we allow sick violent criminals to re-enter society when there is an
extremely high likelihood that not only will they re-offend but that they will
take their violent crimes to the next level. I'll never understand our lack of
conviction for individuals that violate our basic codes of human decency or for
the compassion that citizens give these criminals.
