1 Year Old Baby Starved to Death by His Own Mother

Sometimes, I wonder about the world which we humans inhabit. What spirit has possessed it and turned it into a place of such utter horror and suffering. Turn on the t.v. any time of day or night. And you'll find one story after another, of the terrible things people do to each other. In the Spartanburg Herald Journal last week was a short news story about the mother of a precious little one year old boy. A mother who left her baby lying in a roach and rat infested house. A mother who literally starved her baby to the point of his weighing just 4 pounds at the time of his death. Can you imagine the shape of a 1 year old baby who weighs just 4 pounds? how slow and agonizing his death must have been.? i cant!

I have to ask myself, where is this woman's mothering instinct. Even her sense of basic human decency and concern most humans have for one another. How could she do this to her own flesh and blood. What essential human gene is missing in her? Even animals have a natural instinct to protect there young. They see that there fed, protected and cared for. Until they are old enough to care for themselves. Its just really unbelieveable to me that there are people who are inferior to animals.

Babies should be fat, happy little elfs. Full of mischief and laughter. Just beginning to walk, talk and discover a whole new world opening up to them. innocent and helpless. They rely on there parents for every need. And yes, they do place constant demands upon our time and energy. thats our job as there parent. They dont ask to be born into this world, to have to face the things they will eventually encounter. But it is almost every womans wish to bring a human life into the world. And with that comes tremendous responsibility. Sadly, some of us fail. But usually not with the dire consequences suffered by this little boy.

Sweet, innocent, 1 year old's. happy, healthy, and laughing little angels. There needs simple, plus alot of love. This baby in Sumter SC. Sick,crying weighing just 4 pounds at his death. The parents of course, have been charged with homicide by child abuse. To me, there's no way the punishment can ever fit the crime. Im heartbroken by the slow and senseless death of this child. How he must have suffered during his very short life. Lying alone in his crib, hungry and slowly dying. How he must have felt to cry for his mom and have noone there to come pick him up and hold him close. But, sadly. I know that tomorrow there will be another horror story to grab the worlds attention. And this little boy, who inhabited our world just a short time. Sadly, shall be forgotten. just another face, another name on the news.
