hits too close to home

I'm upset today. I won't be posting any links in this entry, but I want you to understand why I'm so upset. There's been quite a bit of coverage in the press lately about the man who kidnapped Sasha and Dylan Groene and abused them (then killed Dylan), there's been coverage lately about a huge child pornography sting and how even law enforcement officers were caught collecting and distributing, there's been coverage lately about a baby born at home, in need of care, yet left for dead by her parent.

I'm a mother now. These things literally bring me to tears. I cannot fathom anyone hurting a child like that. It's so wrong. They are children. They need us. They trust us. For someone to betray that trust and hurt them is almost unforgivable. I don't know if I could forgive if anything happened to my baby.

Your perspective really changes when you have a little one of your own. He is just so precious. All I can say is that these stories, these people, make me sick.
