If you haven't already you need to turn on the news. 27 people all over the world (I think 9 in America) have been arrested for child porn. These people (I'm assuming men but I'm not sure, it most definatly could be women as well) were molesting and raping children 12 years and younger and one was even 18 months. An infant. What kind of mind does it take to do that? How sick and messed up must you be? I had tears in my eyes when I was watching the news. One of the reporters said that she had nightmeres for two weeks after she saw thise videos, of the brutal molestations. How come people are not jumping up and getting mad about this? Why is this still going on!? CHILDREN! BABIES! How can this not make your heart weep? I don't even know what to say. As much as I want to call these people bastards and awful...I don't think that is right. I do believe there is some good in everybody. I refuse to believe otherwise. But these children...and every other child out there who isn't loved like they should be loved...who don't get hundreds of hugs a day and told constantly how special they are and how much they are loved....who cry themseleves to sleep because they think they did something wrong to deserve this...The children that are put in foster homes and beat there and social workers do nothing when they see bruises because it is just more paper work for them...the children whose lives are threatened if they tell anyone...the children who have lived with this kind of life for so long they may even start to think it's normal...How can you not be angry? How can people sit back and close their eyes to what is happening? I want to hug every child. I want to tell them that they ARE loved. That they have enormous potential beyond anyones grasp. That they are worth the universe and more. I want to fix their broken spirits. But I can't. I can only pray that things will change. I am thinking about going into social work...to have one more person that really cares about the children and their futures...or maybe that is what I will do with my poly sci degree...work with people to reform social services. Or maybe I'll get a law degree to prosecute these demented people and put them behind bars. Or maybe I'll get a psychology degree and maybe find a way to rehiblitate these people...because a way hasn't been found yet. I don't know. But get angry people. Get upset that this is happening. Do something. Do anything. And remember to protect your children when you have them.
