I can't remember where I read it, but I have heard that a society or culture is judged by the manner they treat their most helpless members. When I see kids, seniors, disabled and such mistreated, I seriously wonder what our society has become. It used to be there was social value in caring for others, but with the advent of two income households, that quality has been downgraded. I understand the need to have both adults work, but I have also seen how kids become hardened to the needs of others when they have to grasp for every single ounce of attention-whether it is from parents, caregivers or teachers. Our kids are becoming jaded and as adults they act on those behaviors that become habits after a long period of time. I don't know the answer, but it starts with our children. That's no excuse to hurt a child, but that is where it starts.

Thank you TXTruBlu and Lee for your comments, it makes my blood boil every time I hear about these atrocities in the news. There are too many parents out there that dont deserve the honor of being called Mom or Dad, having babies and having pets for that matter is a "choice" people dont make the wrong choices.
