What is Your Child or Children Worth?

My Child's Life and Innocence is Priceless!

Stephanie R. Barry
As a mother I could never fathom leaving my child alone, putting my child in the care of another, letting someone marry my child before age eighteen, sacrificing her life to save mine, sale her for money or follow ridiculous religion rules that hurts or harm her in any manner. In the news I recently saw an article that disturbed me so much on the inside. A mother wanting to sell her child for money. To give details; she wanted to sell her little boy for 15,000.00 to an old homosexual man. There are to many things wrong here. First of all, she had the thought to sell her baby, a life that God allowed to be created from the inside of her. Secondly, she wanted to exchange her child for money, how dare she? Last she was giving her baby boy up to an old homosexual man. My God!I cannot even begin to understand how a mother can go through carrying a baby for nine months, enduring childbirth­, and then be so willing to give their precious newborn baby away illegally to someone who may be putting that child's life in danger.

Here is the link and story: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/05/bridget-wismer-sell-newborn_n_995839.html?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl1|sec1_lnk3|101703

Now that story is awful but as I continued to look through to the responses on the story I found a couple of comments that angered me even more. 1st response or comment: Response:they buy and sell babies in islam all the time and the babies become slaves and concubines as they grow up. My heart breaks and I learned that the Islamic leader Muhummad took a six year old for his wife and had sex with her when she was nine. This is not right!!! How dare you as a grown but man defile a baby who barely even knows her name. I am learning and beginning to see some horrifying things in this world that is outstretched and has nothing to do with God, our Creator.

My life is worth my child's life!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are more stories and links that tells you what times we are living: "Our Children" are in danger if we as parents don't step up and do all that is necessary to keep them save. They are our future.
