Why are so many kids getting hurt lately?

Last semester for English 101 we wrote blogs the same as we are this semester. Towards the end of the semester I got really tired of reading stories about kids getting hurt by adults and kids being killed by other kids. It is so sad to see these things happen. And since we are required to write 2 blogs a week, I have been writing one on a news story and the other I have been venting, or explaining my week, because I don’t want to do another blog about kids. Well now that it is close to the end of this semester, I once again am getting burnt out on writing blogs. I am still looking for a story to write about for my second blog, and all I see are stories about kids and babies. Such as this story, about an 18 year old girl who gave birth and stabbed her newborn baby several times and hid the baby in her closet. Or this story about a teenager beating a toddler who she was babysitting, you should see this poor toddlers face, it is black and red and purple. Or even this story, where a mother is pregnant with the baby of the man who abused and murdered her daughter. What are people thinking? I read the one about the 18 year old stabbing her baby to death and I teared up, because it makes me sad to think that these poor babies have no chance at life. God sent them down here, and unfortunately they get sent to the wrong people.

I wish there was a way to make only people who actually want kids can get pregnant. There are thousands of people out there that want children and cannot, but all these teenage girls, and other women are getting pregnant, and not taking care of their babies. Or they are killing them because there is something mental wrong with the mothers. I hate to even think about the last moments of these babies. One of the babies was murdered by his mother, when she held him under water. How can a mother purposely hold her newborn son under water and watch him die? This is so disturbing. Especially since I have my own children at home; I could not imagine hurting my 15 month old son. Matter of fact, I baby him a little to much, when he gets hurt, I pick him up, or when he does something he shouldn’t and gets time out, I go pick him up because I feel bad for him. As much as I love my son, I can’t image someone having their child and killing them.

People like this should not have children, and if they hurt their children, they should be forced to get fixed so they can never have children again. I hate the thought of these stories and it makes me want to go hug my kids, and be thankful that they were born to us and not someone who would have harmed them.
