Atrocities

I was going through the papers during lunch just now, and I am very, very appalled by what I see - a woman who watches while his Sudanese boyfriend raped, sodomized and violated her young daughter; another news about a father who violently and repeatedly stomped on his son just because the son was caught tearing through his packet of cigarettes.

What is becoming of this world? We regularly see this kind of violence in the animal world, like parents eating their young. But this is done out of necessity, for survival; it is also to weed out the possibility of bad genes passing through the family tree. We as humans, however, are NOT animals; we have neither the real necessity to kill our young out of survival, nor are we financially insufficient enough to kill our offspring. What's worse there is ABSOLUTELY NO reason to commit such atrocities to our children!! Especially the 2nd case where the father violently assaulted his son just because he was tearing through his pack of cigarettes. Why T.F. would he do such a thing??

The world is becoming horribly twisted day by day; children abandoned, abused and assaulted by parents AND vice versa. Let us all pray that no such thing happens to us and our loved ones. Amin.
