Potty Training

I sincerely try to find uplifting things to write about but sometimes one discovers something that just blows the mind. Anyone who has children knows the joys of "potty training"! You have to have patience and determination. Apparently someone forgot to tell this gentleman that accidents can happen.

If you read this article you can't help be touched by it. I instantly got a mental image of this poor child right after he wet his pants. I think there are a few issues here. The first being that there are just some people who should not be exposed to children. Apparently there was a drug issue but to me that does not make a difference. Anyone who would beat a child like this should be strung up. It stated that the mother tried to shield the child from the beating and was beaten herself. You have to wonder that if the beating was so severe that it killed the child was that the first time?

How did no one know about this to prevent it any sooner? Why would a mother be with someone who could do this to her child? What kind of sick mind would even begin to think about doing this let alone do it?

There are always some questions that we don't get answers to, but wow! I have to wonder if either the mother or boyfriend have any remorse at all.

  1. I agree with you. I wrote on the same article. The mother had to have something to do with this!

  2. This article was really sad. Thank you for writing such a great response to it's sensitive nature. One thing I would definitely say is that although you were being kind by calling him a "gentleman" in the first paragraph, he doesn't deserve such a description.
