Why Does God Let This Happen

[lizbud]

Kids can drive you to feel like that - the test is being able to walk away without harming them......certainly not condoning what she did

The woman had two 2 two month old (twins) and an 11 month old baby.
A sure recipe for stress, but no excuse for what she did.

That poor baby! Some people shouldn't be allowed to have children. This mother is certainly one of them!!

[finn's mom]

I wonder how she reacted once she calmed down and realized what she'd done. And, I hope they don't allow her to be with her children again, at least not alone...if she can't handle the stress, she shouldn't be allowed to be near them unsupervised, or at all. Imagine when they're older and really start throwing tantrums...that poor child.

Awww.....

ive wonderd about God and why crap happens on many different accounts.
but.. thats another story i suppose.

poor kid.

[CathyBogart]

I have to wonder if she was someone who didn't want kids and was pressured to have them by the people around her...Horrific...

[Felicia's Mom]

It was a horrible thing to do. That is why I never had children.

As for why God allows it to happen; God has given man "Free Will".

Yeah, I have a friend who will not have children, and, it's because she knows she couldn't handle the screaming and tantrums. She doesn't even have pets for that reason. She has zero patience. She's never hurt anything in her life, but, she swears she would if she were put into a situation like that. So, she'll always remain childless. But, not everyone knows that about themselves...a lot of times, it seems like people don't know they're going to snap like that until it's too late. Regardless, that situation sucks all around, no doubt.

This strikes me as an odd statment to make. Are you saying that you would do something like this if you had children? We all 'lose it' with things-kids, pets, work, other drivers....but, this is really unimaginable, from a sane person's perspective. No matter how over stressed I have gotten, and I truly, truly have, I have never raised a hand to Jonah.

This woman's problem was not child-related. It was self related. She had no self control. She surely wouldn't have done this to a grown adult- not because of her lack of self control, but, because of her ability to reason that that person would have knocked the crap out of her.

The story says that she didn't do a damn thing for six hours. #*X!#!!&*X! IMO that just multiplied her abusive acts!
Yes, there are definitly some people who should NEVER have kids, I hope hers are taken away for a long, long, long, time. well actually I hope she never has custody again. There is simply NO excuse for child abuse.

[Catty1]

I am thinking about the degree of mental illness out there.

I also think about the person on PT - I am sorry, your name slips my mind - who has lovingly embraced her 14-year-old stepdaughter and her upcoming child.

I would bet that baby is safe! How many of these others perhaps were mentally ill to begin with - and unsupported to boot?

I think if I ever know about someone that is unexpectedly pregnant...I will reach out to them. It might make a difference.

Someone once said to me that these awful things - they teach us what kind of people we are by how we react.

So I am going to try to be more aware...

Sad, sad, sad stuff...so much suffering, parents and kids both...

That's almost unbelieable that she didn't seek help for the baby right
away. Can you imagine the pain that precious soul had to endure? I'm
sorry but, it makes you wonder what possible good that was. Why should
they have to suffer that way.Is that part of God's plan?

God let another one slip by this week.



A man promised his two children a trip to the movies.

He got them into the car, poured gas into it and tossed a match in.

The kids died and he suffered 2nd degree burns...he'll live to answer for this.

The reason?

Divorce.

[VTJess03]

And he'll also have to answer for it before God, which will probably be a lot more awful on him than what the children experienced, horrible as it was. I would venture to guess that it didn't slip by him; his reward is coming. I try to keep things in perspective when bad things happen. It would be soooo easy to get caught up in all the injustices and live a preoccupied, miserable, angry, bitter life. I just can't live like that
