.Flowers on Frames, Dots on end.

I don't wanna go through this life
Without you by my side
And I got it all worked out
In my head here's how it's got to be

It'll be you and me
Up in the trees
And the forest will give us the answer

It'll be you and I
Up in the sky
It's a combination for disaster

Im infuriated..

i was just reading some compulsory reading for some ethics assignment, and its about this mother who was sent to jail for killing her son... well... accidentally.. by shaking him too hard, and he died of head injuries.

well.. firstly, she had an IQ of 68.. was physically abused and raped by her actually father and foster father....after having children, she sought help with doctors and family care centers as she could not cope, but no one responded, everyone ASSUMED she was OKAY.

well guess what, due to all the stress and her low intellectual ability and lifetime of abuse, her child died.

NOW... is it HER fault she tried to avoid it by seeking help but no one bothered? is it her fault she suffered as a child then turned out abusive herself??? and now a child died, which could have been avoided if authorities were to be more USEFUL.

and SHE is going to jail.. then who's going to punish her previous caretakers that abused her? who's going to punish the authorities for negligence?

and her family members say "she deserved a longer sentence.."

Who ever said blood is thicker than water... pfft..

im not saying its okay for her to kill her child, she did seek external help, but the professionals didnt bother, so shouldnt they too take the responsibility as well?? and not her carry the blame and shame on her own???

seriously, if im going to grow up working in this line, i need to learn to be objective. dang, its impossible.

:(

HEY-YA

You can never rise up higher
Than when you stoop down
To help a child.
