i was just watching Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit, and it was about a little girl that had been shaken. she was shaken so hard that she suffered shaking baby syndrome in which the brain bangs against the skull so hard that the child suffers permanent brain damage. it scared me so much because the mother of the little girl was the one who hurt her. i have never hurt a child in my life and i hope to God that i never will. i dont think that i would ever do something like that, after all i want to dedicate my career to the helping children. but the woman, she seemed like a very loving mother who would never do somthing like that. neither of my parents ever hurt me growing up. i dont remember them ever spanking me or using physical force in any way to try and dicipline me. i dont know, i guess i just found that episode to be very scary.
