Trying to understand

I am just beside myself wondering how a mother can harm their own children. A handsome, well dressed, sweet looking 3 year old died in Cleveland sometime over the past few days. The only suspect..his mother! I would love to hold on to the hope that she didn't do it but I know that would be rather foolish of me. Ok, even I am not naive enough not to know that kids can test your last nerve. DEAL WITH IT .. they're kids !!!!! Some of the sweetest looking kids are hellions, DEAL WITH IT .. they're kids!!!! They have no one to protect them but you, their parents !!!!!!!! How can you let them down ?!?!?!!?!?!!?!?! Why is it in today's society it seems ok to so many people to resort to violence instead of walking away?!?!?!?!?!!?!?! Sorry for the depressing nature of this post; my heart just goes out to this little boy and to all abused kids {and adults}!! Come on people wake up, leave others alone!!!! IMHO we NEED GOD back in our every day lives !!!!!
