Default I can't read these news articles anymore

about kids being tortured and killed, and neglected, and accidentally killed.

Maybe I'm getting older, maybe because I'm a parent now, but I just can't stand to know anymore about inhumanity to children.

I stopped reading them many, many years ago. Nothing bothers me more than when a child - especially a small child - is killed, abused, neglected, etc. The parents in this story should be put to death in the exact same manner that they murdered their son.

This is one of the reasons I got out of the funeral business. It was tough for me to prepare a child for burial after my kids were born. A two year old boy had died of meningitis that I embalmed who was born the exact same day as my youngest son. Not only were they the same age, but this boy had curly blonde hair like my son and the same skin tone. I made the decision that day to get out.
