Obsolete. deception. To even remotely hit someone of the same age or given the ability to defend oneself is already wrong. That's a criminal, that's a abuser. What about freaking abusing a child? A child that has no way to defend for his or herself? A child that doesnt quite understand what on earth is happening, is it normal for him or her to feel such pain? Is this how we as human show love? These people who abuse their child, nono, abuse children in general, are not criminals, they sick bastards that has many screws in their head loose and think that it's perfectly normal and have the nerve to cry when the sentence is being issued for them. If they are crying because they are being sentenced to jail, i sure hope they never see day light again, if they actually felt remorse for what they did, then good for them, at least they left alittle humane within . Because they dont even deserve to be called humans, how on earth do you abuse someone that cannot even hurt you? Someone that you were supposed to protect to love to care for? I dont understand how can women who carried their child in their womb for 9 long months even have the thought to hurt their own child. I understand that having a child isnt easy, that it gets tedious. But I still dont understand how can they harm their own child. Or even the most ridiculous reason I read up on was , the mother of 3, stopped the car and shot all three of her kids because her lover didnt want to have children. And when she was convicted, she still thought she was innocent. I dont know how is that possible, that she thought what she did was right. We can always help to prevent a small tiny life from death, just be alert, question bruises , remember even if it's hard to press charges on your own love one, remember, no child should ever be abused. http://www.stopchildsex.org.sg/ http://app.mcys.gov.sg/web/faml_nurture_childprotection.asp
