Any parent that treats a child like that shouldn't just be put in the jail, they should be put *under* the jail! When I think of how many people out there who would love to have kids and can't (I had a friend who miscarried..and couldn't get pregnant). Then I see children abused and/or killed..It just burns me up!!! Sorry, abused kids is a hot-button topic for me. My friend, Penny, ended up with a divorce due to this. Her ex left her for someone that could give him *natural-born* kids. He refused to consider adopting or anything like that.
