I just CAN'T fathom it. As someone who didn't live an ideal childhood and suffered at the hands of an alternately absent and emotionally abusive dad I know some of this pain all too well though it was never as bad as that of which you write. I don't understand what happens to the protective instinct of people who are capable of this type of treatment towards their children and really feel they must be lacking in some way as human beings. Thanks for the awareness re the petition too. xxxxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556843852780239036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-21620768178888898312011-06-30T11:00:16.780+10:002011-06-30T11:00:16.780+10:00I find this stuff so hard to read.

I shower my kids with affection, always hugging and kissing them and sometimes I stop and think about all those little angels who live lives totally devoid of any love. It's so sad :( You're right, it does make a person feel helpless :((<br /><br />Gemma - very true, it's often a vicious cycle. So much more needs to be done. How often do we hear that a murdered child was already "known" to DOCS? If they were known to the department, they should have been saved. One child murdered is one child too many :(Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100344594099646839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-54173173797844154572011-06-30T06:13:44.843+10:002011-06-30T06:13:44.843+10:00Had to skim too.

Often these 'parents' are so damage by their own parents they have no clue how to be a good parent or know when to ask for help. We spend so much money on things that end up being misdirected and don't really help the kids. The underfunding of welfare services is a disgrace. I offer a suggestion that the mental health plan provide more parenting counsellors to dysfunctional families at times that are accessible for these people and at regular weekly intervals.<br /><br />Honestly I find parenting hard, and I despair knowing that this systematic abuse happens like a sport for so many unnurtured children. Then if they are lucky to grow up, they are pretty mental themselves. So sad, who is going to make this change?Gemma @ My Big Nutshellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251131676081523546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-67538154732302361562011-06-29T16:12:58.774+10:002011-06-29T16:12:58.774+10:00Since becoming a Mother it gets harder and harder ...Since becoming a Mother it gets harder and harder to read these things and all the adjectives in the world cannot describe how much it breaks my heart.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09651116248452404269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-41078863423958051422011-06-29T13:43:34.292+10:002011-06-29T13:43:34.292+10:00I couldn't even read all that... makes me too ...I couldn't even read all that... makes me too sad and frustrated.
