I know exactly how you feel. While we were at CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orance County)waiting to see what would happen with our daughter, there was a child who returned TWICE as a victim of child abuse. This baby was all of 9 months old and had numerous "old" injuries. The parents were 19(dad) and 17(mom) years old.
I asked the charge nurse how they could even deal with the parents on a repetitive basis. Most of them won't. They will appoint another person to be in charge while the abusive parents are there.
I remember sitting there thinking...how stupid can someone be? My child is dying right in front of my eyes...through no fault of her own, and these rearholes are trying to kill their child!
It took a good long talk with our priest before I was even able to talk to these "parents"....
Sorry to post such a "DOWNER" post...but I had to get it out!
To all people who abuse children:
