These stories just make you despair of humanity.

My friend’s much-loved young son died in his sleep last week and his memorial was one of the most wrenching events I’ve ever attended; tiny coffin, everyone sobbing. I just cannot imagine what would drive someone to physically abuse and essentially kill a baby.

There are entire segments of the population—here and elsewhere—who are so far removed from civilized society that things like whatever led up to this poor child's death are allowed to happen and nobody dares to speak up about it.

unfathomable. its just too hard to believe there are people like this among us.

first thing i thought of was give the damn kid to me. i'll do whatever it takes to help him avoid this. so many of us would.
