Ok this has nothing to do with lapband or eating or loosing weight today this is something I need to vent on. I got up this morning and like many other people I turned on the news. The first thing I see is another child is hurt by a parent> I am so angry!!!!!!!!! 3 little girls were put in a closet and set of fire by their mother. she was diagnoised as a phsycotic(excuse spelling) she is going through a divorce and thinks it is ok to set her kids on fire. The news shows the father running to the house. Hello what is wrong with this picture????? Did the father know?? If he did why on earth did he leaves his girls with her???? The doctors knew why didnt they do anything??? I realize that HIPPA stops almost everything from going puplic on medical records, but there should be a loop hole that a doctor can step up and say ok something is wrong lets contact someone to keep this person from hurting herself or worse yet someone else. It is now a common practice for mothers to use God as an excuse to kill their kids and the justice system is letting them get away with it. There is something wrong for the most trusted person in a childs life to kill their own child. For the people who are religious you may think that it is the devil. before I offend anyone let me say this GOD would not tell you to kill your kids. If I offend someone you will have to bare with me. It is time someone stand up and say enough. stop giving theses evil people rights!!!!!! Stop letting moms kill their kids. they may be crazy or tired or just dont want them anymore. But killing them is not an answer they didnt ask to be born. But once you take on kids you have to take care of them keep them safe and happy you have to keep others from hurting them. How many chances do we get????? only one to raise a beutifull child. Our justice system has failed our kids when a child predator has more rights than the child who was raped tortured or even murdered has. The convicted have people who cry humane treatment for prisoners and parolese. To me if you hurt a child or anyone else you have no rights you dont get tv or music or 3 square meals or outside time. you are in jail for a reason. But we as a population let them out and guess what folks they do it again!!! When does the cycle stop. When does the system say enough??? In the paper Saturday a 2 yearold girl is dead her father and his girlfriend arrested neighbors didnt even know there was a child living there. And yet he will get his trial and if convicted go to jail. he will have rights to humane treatment even though his little girl no longer has any rights because she is dead. A little girl last week was found hanged after she was stollen out of her house she was raped and tortured then hanged her mother found her. no one has been arrested yet but I can say this the person who did this has probably done it before and the justice system let them go to do it again. I am not saying our justice systems is all wrong I am saying it needs to toughen up. predetors dont deserve freedom at all there is no rehab for these people!! They dont deserve second chances to do this again. If you think I am crazy look at megans law and the amber alert system great ways to help kids but we wouldnt have them if megan was not murdered and raped then buried by a convicted child predator. amber was kidnapped and murdered. So you tell me who is failing our kids??? We have Teachers who have sex with our kids. you have Preists and preachers having sex with our kids. How do you protect your kids from them???? I had to start teaching my 7 year old when he was 4. I had to teach him what bad touching was and not to let anyone touch him at school or church. I had to teach him to trust me enough to come tell me if someone does something bad to him and even today I have to remind him that he can come to me no matter what anyone says. We as a society have failed. If our children are our future then we need to value them and keep them safe from harm. write your politicians to press for our presidental canidates to stand for our kids. Get them to push for tougher laws and longer jail time. Them need harsher punishments and chemical ( castration) It not only needs to be a 2 mile radius of a child predator but the whole area. I dont care if he served his time or not I want to know I want to see their pics so I can go to the park with my kids and reconize their face and be able to protect my kids. My heart goes out to the parents who have lost a child to them and my heart aches for the moms and the dads who will never know what happened to their kids. Sorry for the rant but someone needs to say something it cant stay behind closed doors anymore cause that evil person could be watching your home and child just this minute and you will never see him coming

You must live close to me. I have heard all of these stories and am horrified. I have a four year old little girl and I watch her like a hawk, but we are not always there. I heard that the mother's boyfriend was arrested for the little six year old that was raped and hung. I hope he suffers for a long time. I agree with you, something has to change.
