Why Does God Let This Happen

[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.

Stories like that are soo very sad. But I agree with Felicia's Mom God did give us "Free Will"

My ex-friend had her 4th child when she was 22, NOT 1 child is a year apart! Neither parent had jobs & they couldn't look after their pets properly
I stopped hsnging out with her shortly after her 2ed as there was only so much yelling I can stand (not yelling at the kids, the kids were really good), but it was a wife-husband kind of yelling. ALL the fights were pointless & rather annoying. The wern't like that before the kids.. Also they expected me to buy their kids things.. ya right, I was fresh out of college & was 20k in debt. I bought my god-daughtor (still kicking myself to aggreeing with it) a big stuffed polar bear (I got it for .99 in sale from 30.00 from the store I worked at) & because it didn't look like I spent 100.00 on it.. it was tossed in the corner & ignored

Its horrible how some people can change from good to bad after they have kids.

I personally know I wouldn't be able to handle a non-stop crying baby & my dad was the same. BUT there is a way to get out of it, without even thinking of doing something horrible to the child. Make sure the baby is 100% safe in the crib, clean diaper, no feaver, monitor is turned on & then go outside with the other monitor & keep it on low (not too low) & read a book to get away from it all. When the baby stops crying, go check on it & turn the monitor back to normal.

My dad has a BAD temper & NOT once did he ever harm us. The TV even states that the above is a good method.

A man goes into a barber shop to get his hair cut. While cutting his hair the barber says to the man, I don't believe there is a God or he wouldn't let all this bad stuff happen in this world. The man doesn't reply because he doesn't want to start a confrontation. However, he feels that somehow he needs to explain to the barber that God is not happy with this kind of stuff either.

After his haircut, he pays and walks out the door. On the sidewalk coming across the street from the barber shop is a man with long dirty stringy hair walking down the sidewalk. The man obviously has not had a shower in a long time. The man leaving the barber shop walks back in and said to the barber, "there must not be barbers in this world," "How can you say that?" asks the barber. "Well look at that dirty man with his long stringy dirty hair. If there were barbers in this world, surely they would not let that happen. They would offer to cut his hair and clean him up, right?" The barber replied "I can not help him if he doesn't come to me for help".

It is basically the same with God. He did give us Free will and we choose if we want to accept him and his help or not. He is just as unhappy about the lady crushing her son's skull as we are. Perhaps if the lady had asked God for strength, he would of provided it. Instead she chose to ignore him and his willingness to help. The babies skull being crushed was the result. It is sad on two points... 1. People do ignore God's willingness to be a part of their lives and 2. People choose to do evil things.

I pray that the child will not suffer any permanent damage and that someone loving comes into his life to care for him.

That is just sick!!

A local couple here are on trial for murdering a child they adopted.

I don't try to understand some people... I just can't wrap my brain around it.

How awful. I can never understand how anyone could do such a thing to an innocent child. Poor baby. Such people shouldn't be allowed to have kids.

As for why God allows it to happen...God didn't make this world as heaven...Heaven comes later, for those who pass the 'test' of 'life'. People like this woman will have a nice place called Hell to live in once they leave this world. Life on earth is more of a test for mankind, to see who makes it through, who has self control, who lives a good life, etc. Life is a test, not heaven, and evil things will happen. God gave human beings free will...the freedom of choice. We weren't created as pure angels...but as human beings with the freedom of choice, and we tend to try to do what we want. Some people strive to do good, while others strive for evil. That doesn't mean God likes it when people do such things. He hates such crimes, and such people will face punishment from Him after their death. God shouldn't be blamed for the actions of horrendous people who God will be punishing once they leave this world. If the people don't obey God, they're the ones to blame. Its like blaming a parent who happens to be the best parent in the world...always telling their child what's right and what's wrong, but the child doesn't listen. The child grows up and starts committing horrible crimes. The parents are people who were good and never raised him like that. You wouldn't say, "Why do his parents allow this to happen?" When one is an adult, that person is responsible...not his parents, not anyone else. This happens very often...sometimes kids turn out to be the opposite of their parents. Same thing applies here. God gave us a criteria to live by. If we don't listen, well...we're the ones to blame...not God. God will punish such people for their evildoings. Just my personal opinion on this matter.

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.
