One Year Old Boy Beaten...

So first let's start with the report courtesy of WISN Channel 12 RSS Feed...

"Milwaukee police responded to South 12th Street for an incident involving child abuse of a 1-year-old at about 6:27 p.m. Monday, police said.

Police said the child was taken to an area hospital with critical injuries.

A 24-year-old female is currently in custody. Police said she is not the child’s mother."


Okay..now on to my current rambling on this topic. First I have a 2 year old and a 8 month old and I would never, no matter how bad and rough it seems ever hurt them in this way. But speaking on this topic, is it just me or does it seem that there is more cases of low tolerant parents, babysitters etc.? It seems that children are being forgotten more often, shaken, hit repeatedly etc. Now maybe it is just he news promoting it more so it seems like there is more out there, but to me I read something in the Journal daily about some kind of child abuse it seems.

I think this is a result of the "give me/owed to me" generation. These kids are growing up and have been so pampered etc. where everyone is a winner. They don't know how to deal with situations, anger, control, loss etc. As a result, they don't know how to handle their own children when they continue to cry or need attention. Everything is usually someone elses fault or pass the buck. I know I am a bit off topic but back to my main point. It seems that there is alot of these cases in the news lately. Okay, anyways...no real point other than to rant and I feel for these children and I needed to get it out of my system. Back to my day I guess.
