A sad little story

Actually I was inspired by Dr G C George and reminded of the horrors of child abuse. It really reminds me of the real thing happened to my own neighbour back home in Singapore when I was still living in Jurong West St 41, which I think I was in my undergraduate days.

It’s actually sad to hear that Parental Abuse kept on happening, and when I heard the news back then that the neighbour’s TWO YEAR OLD SON died ..it was a tragedy. Something I can’t get my head off, with so many blunt force traumas to the head..and body..it was a little body with so many bruises and that the child had to go through an autopsy is something cruel.

Like everyone then was suspecting of the father, whom was a drug addict, and that everyone speculated till it was actually found out in the open that the MOTHER was the murderer. I don’t know what was the sentence, maybe Manslaughter charge, Life in Prison, Maybe Death Penalty, but that child don’t deserve it.

And in the story of Kelsey Briggs, it was a step father. And the mother whom allowed or conspired this to happen. It is really sad that because the mother is upset with someone, something or maybe the partner, they don’t have to start off landing the child.

Abuse can be anything. Verbal abuse. Physical Abuse, Psychological whatever. No parent should be made to bury their child, especially a toddler or even still a baby. I really cry for the father who fought hard for the Country only to return to bury his only child. A cute cuddly daughter. Which I could imagine what will go through my mind if I loose my daughter and in itself, I may get into a vigilante mood and murder who ever did it. To loose a partner is already cruel, but to loose the child…is something else.

Signs of Child Abuse is simple. I was made to learn it while I was in Military Medicine. The child will always go and sought comfort in the person who did the lesser of the evil or that anything should happen, they go running for that person. Mothers can get into a destructive swing after their first newborn, for many reasons. But that typically go off after the next.

Do watch out for child abuse with many things to look out for.

Stand by your tissues and wipes… as this is a sad story. Rest in peace. Our Prayers are with you dear Child…
