This just saddens me and I find it hard to express my thoughts in all of this.
When I was in high school a very good friend of mine little nephew was a victim of child abuse, He was just 3 years old when he died at the hands of his mother's boyfriend. I am sure the mother had her part in it as well but apparently she claimed she had no clue he was abused and she stood behind the killer of her child. I could never understand why or how she would stand behind this scum knowing her son was killed the way he was! I still do not understand any of it. It was a very hard time in my friends life and me and a few other close friends were their for her. We attended his funeral and it was heartbreaking! I still cry when they have articles in our local papers about the boyfriend being up for parole, or the mother getting out of prison and living in a half way house. Or when the local Children's Services open a safe house for kids and dedicate it to his memory... Just very sad and any child abuse case I hear or read about just touches me and I alway's think of my friends little nephew
