this is not fitness related at all, in fact its more of a rant, but i have to get it out and i cant do that on fb in respect to family and friends.
as i was on my way to work this morning, i passed a very long line of cars coming from a funeral. it was a funeral for a 3 year old little girl. she lost her life this past weekend as she was beat by her mothers boyfriend. she passed away in the icu from trauma to her head and body. i cried the whole way to work. i cried for the child who passed away, i cried for her family, and i cried for all the children we have lost. her father is currently in jail and was allowed out for one day to say his goodbyes to his baby girl. while he isnt the best person, he was a GREAT father. i couldnt imagine the pain that he is going thru.
im sure most of u know the names amanda hamm and maurice lagrone... yes i knew them both. and i knew the three babies that they drowned in the clinton lake. in the town im from, the lake that i take my babies to. my heart went out to them as well today.
it also went out to another baby who once again, the mothers boyfriend beat to death and then rolled down a flight of stairs trying to make it look like an accident. this was just a few years after the hamm and lagrone case. my heart goes out to u beautiful baby.
as i sit here typing, i am so sickened by the madness of these people and the death of these babies. the fact that i know these people, went to school with these people and will continue to have see these people makes me sick. amanda hamm is now out of prison, and has since had another child. why on earth would anybody allow her to keep that child??
the mother of the little girl, destiny, that passed this weekend is already on facebook, talking about her loss and how she cant go back to her house right now, as well as argueing with other people about how the death happened. personally, facebook would be the LAST thing i would be worried about if i just lost one of my babies.
again, its not fitness related, and i wasnt sure what portion to put it under, but i thought support was the best place. if u pray, please say an extra prayer today for these babies and their REAL families. thank u.

Thank you for posting this, and you have every right to be so sad and feel grief for those poor babies who died due to their parents sicknesses. It is horrible how anyone could hurt their baby, no matter what. Let it all out girl, now I want to cry too. I worked in pediatrics for over 10 years and I had to get out of it because of the death of over 3 babies in a year. I would take it to heart and it began to just eat me alive...Its horrible

It also makes me sick to my stomach to see these moms have kids who get killed. They don't deserve to be called mom or dad for doing these vicious things. Who in their right mind has another kid after that happens?? I mean seriously. CPS needs to be involved no matter. My heart goes out to those family's that have lost those children God bless them. 0

I TOTALLY feel ya! So many women have such low self esteem they Close their eyes to the people they allow in their lives, ESPECIALLY MEN...BAD, BAD, BAD MEN! They would rather sacrifice their children than live without a man...they really believe that having a fraction of a man is better than no man...a Predator will always find his prey. To bad the children are the ones to suffer.
I see, even on Boards where women question their value/worth, saying, "I am not good enough for my boyfriend or husband..." that's a woman who is a walking wound, looking for a quick band-aid.0 -
this is indeed a tradegy. Yet Americans do this on a daily basis to thier children. Millions of babies are killed each year because they are not convient for thier parents. Some through Horrible methods. Imagine a child being born, coming into this world through no fault of thier own yet they are not wanted at the time so the doctor takes a pair of scissors and sticks them into the back of the babies head and snips its brain stem. Somehow we think this is okay??????? If the most inoccent of human life is not respected in this country how can we be surprised when horrible things happen to children who are not valued as the gift that they are.0

I can't even watch the news any longer because there is so much more tragedy than good anymore! This breaks my heart coming from someone who had to bury my 8 month old daughter, she was ill, nothing like this happened to her but knowing these things happen to kids makes me so ill! My belief is anyone that harms a child should be sterlized especially if they are serving time for their crime!!0

Love your heart and your stand for justice! Saying a prayer right now for these families. It's so sad, I just don't even know what is wrong with people. Makes me sick. Jesus hold these sweet babies in eternity with you. 0

I was an abused child and every time I hear stories like this I fall apart. There are a few people who ruin the world, who hurt the blessings they were given. There are so many who are like us who have a heart for kiddos. Bless you and keep all the children who go to bed in fear in your prayers every day.0
