Month Old Baby put in Microwave

[Fragony]

As a parent, it's really hard to read stuff like this. I shouldn't have clicked the link. But by the time I saw the headline, it was already too late. Image in brain. No way to get it out. If only this were Saturday, I could have a stiff drink.

Well you sure don't want to click on this then.

Not even a parent and I had a terrible night.

Well you sure don't want to click on this then.

To quote El Presidente, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice ... uh ... you can't fool me twice ..."

In other words, I'm sure your link contains something awful related to children, but I think I'll spare myself. I need to focus on my workday, and not run screaming home to make sure my kids are okay.

The funny thing is this: Most perversions and crimes I can relate to on some level, even if I would never commit them. Who hasn't wanted to murder an obnoxious person at some point? Who hasn't gazed lustfully on a gorgeous 17-year-old? Who hasn't looked an an intractable problem and thought, "Well, why not just kill everybody involved?"

But crimes against little children are beyond my limited lemur imagination. I really can't get into the headspace to understand harming a one-month-old child. I was cuddling with my three-year-old lemur boy a couple of days ago, and wondered to myself, "How can someone sexualize this? How do you even get there mentally?" There's obviously something seriously mis-wired in the brain of a person who can do it.

As always, I need to point out that there's a world of difference between understanding something and approving of something.

Sorry, that was a bit dumb of me. It's a particulary horrible case from the Netherlands, and I am a bit frustrated by it.

I couldn’t agree more.

Another sad case of sick humanity. Instead of killing your child, give him in adoption. There's so many good person unable to have one. Anyway, there's things and peoples i'll never be able to understand, and have not the will to understand them.
