Couldn’t have said it better myself. So what’s up with the youth violence, endless marches and now in today’s paper the report of the 5 year old who died from abuse allegedly at the hands of a parent? How much more of this do we subject our children to and can someone please explain to me where our self respect went?
Sorry for the rant but this stuff just really burns me up!
It should burn you up! There are times I watch the news or read stories online that bring me to tears. When parents are killing their children and vice versa we really need to take action as a nation. I ask myself: With the right parental training could many of the violent acts be prevented? There is a license to drive, there is a license to own a business, you even there is a license required to own a dog. I ask time and time again, why isn’t there a license to have children? WHY? It sounds a little harsh but think about it; Why couldn’t the government place an informative, practical class to help parents understand the mind & emotions of a child. When these 12,14,19,29 year old girls/women come in for parental medical care they will be required to enroll in a class that helps these expectant parents raise their babies into adults that have a chance. If the one-child policy has been implemented…why can’t we implement required parental classes that can help so much?
I don’t ususally do this but one of the headlines on your site reported a gang rape of a 15 year old girl. So far 5 have been arrested with 2 of those being listed as adults.
What kind of animals are these? Even if two were initially responsible, what on earth would possess others to line up like animals and prolong this madness?
What message are we as mothers equipping our sons with? How about the dads and father figures out there? What’s your message to your young men? Do you remind them that they have mothers and sisters who they wouldn’t want defiled in that manner? When does a woman not have control over her body and in such a public forum? When does not having a law on the books in regards to reporting a crime of that nature make it okay? Whoever the politicians were that wrote that rule should give up their seat. I say charge the _________ to the fullest extent of the law and let their new found friends on the inside provide them with the lesson they neglected to receive at home. Shame on all of them!!!
While it is easy to recommend parenting classes,there should be some sort of follow up measures. Whether we want to admit it or not our support system is seriously flawed and trying to help dysfunctional individuals in said system serves little useful purpose. It is akin to placing a band aid on a gunshot wound. Government can only do so much and with them the ‘bottom line’ … and I do mean the bottom line is about money. With the lack of available funding for classes and stricter policing of dysfunctional/troubled individuals society will forever be plagued with those in dire straits. With a properly funded program which is available for all, whether court mandated or otherwise, would be the first logical step in stemming the tide of physical abuse or dysfunctional behavior.
That’s a great point. I was wondering who would comment on this and I am thankful you did. I agree and there is no secret that a family support system in the US doesn’t thoroughly exist. As I said before, many of these parents/children are beyond dysfunctional-I say we are in a state of emergency. It’s a vicious cycle these dysfunctional people are bringing a frequency of murders, abuse cases, and worse of all the gradual day to day mental abuse of these children-that make a rising star into yet another dysfunctional person, this stands as proof as far as I’m concerned. We need to take the steps toward finding government programs (existing non-profits) to financially support A SUPPORT SYSTEM. 1. from birth 2. To follow though with visits and testing of some sort 3. to help when they fail.
A very common saying: “There is no manual on how to raise a child” but I say There may not be a manual but there is a wrong way and lets prevent that.
It does take money but before that it takes the power and passion of the people.
