Horrific News Story (*TRIGGER* CHILD ABUSE) July 24, 2008
Posted by mirla in : Uncategorized , trackbackSo today, we were talking at dinner time. My steo-dad told me this story, about how they found a little girl (to be exact: 3 years old) in the middle of a very busy road around here…just wandering. Nobody stoped to help here, they just drove by and beeped their horns. Finaly a pair of cars desided to stop in order to block the trafic until the cops came to help the child and such.
This child was…very severely abused. Apparently she went to the hospital because she had a broken arm and rib, but when she arrived, they also found out that she was sexualy abused and had clumps of her hair missing from when they ripped it out.
My mom has faith in the foster care system, that she’ll go into a foster home and be adopted into a family so she can live as normal of a life as possible. She thinks that the youngest of the abusers (her brothers) have the SLIGHTEST chance of being rehabilitated. My step-dad got into rant-mode though, about how broken the foster care system is and how they were SICK and were raised that way and there is no changing them so they should be castrated. Or killed. Or Both.
Meanwhile I’m just hoping that she goes into a wonderful family and if I wasn’t still a minor then I’d adopt that poor girl in a heartbeat…sure, it would be difficult, very difficult. I’m aware of this. BUT…I don’t want to see this little girl hurt ever again. She deserves better…everyone does.
as for the sides: based on what I’ve learned about the foster care system from the news, and from friends who are in the system, and also what you learn about abusers just by litsening to the stories people confide to me…as much as I would like to be optimistic like my mother, I really o have to agree with my step-father on this one.
