Chaparra 85 Posted February 24, 2013 It is sad that it happened to such a young child, but the parents have some fault in that too. Why didn't they teach the child proper nutrition? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doreyrae 20 Posted February 24, 2013 I agree! Obviously I put her in the position she is in due to my improper habits. Now it is up to me to make it right. Fixing me fixes her Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
