Simply horrifying
I read these kinds of stories on the wire all the time at work, and it’s pretty hard to read them and not get upset. In fact, too many nights in a row reading these stories, and it’s hard not to be in a downright depressed mood.
I used to read stories like this, before I had children, and while they were disturbing, I could forget them easily.
But now, as a parent, I can’t. I read them, and I feel sick to my stomach and I want to cry.
If I ever found out someone I knew was hurting a child like this, or someone I didn’t know was hurting a child I knew like this, I’m not sure I’d want to be held responsible for my actions.

For people like these, there is no punishment severe enough. Children are put into our care, to be guarede & cherished. These people are beyond being monsters.
