An Eye for an Eye
We all know the saying “An eye for an eye.” There are times in life where we know something is wrong yet do it anyway. Sometimes with out hesitation and others we ponder over what to do, knowing the consequences could be great. In general though I think most people believe in Karma and try to do what’s right until they are crossed. It’s our instinct to protect ourselves and our children. When someone hurts a child people all over the world feel for the parent and child. We know how much we love our own and the thought of something happening to them tears us up inside and out. We seem to long for that revenge and justice for a child more than we do for our own. It’s widely know that if you hurt a child and are caught, charged and sent to jail that the other inmates will take their turns taking out their anger for the situation on the person. I have no problem with this. I think if you are bold enough to hurt a child then you can suffer the consequences what ever they may be. I think sometimes it’s better to let a man suffer in jail being abused by other inmates then to give them the death penalty. The death penalty to me is like suicide. It’s a way out when you can’t deal with the current situation going on in your life what ever it may be. To me it seems to lack any real punishment. I believe when you are dead that’s it there is no rotting in hell or going to heaven, your just dead. So if someone commits some unbelievable act on a child then I think they should suffer, after all it’s an eye for an eye. What kind of quality of life does a prisoner have really when he is being tortured every chance the other prisoners can. I have my own children and remember what it was like when they were newborns fresh home from the hospital. They were so small and fragile and the love I had for them was and is still immeasurable. I can’t think what I would do if they were hurt then or now. So, when I saw a link on Facebook where a father raped and beat his 8 day old daughter I almost puked! I thought about my friends with baby girls and changing their diapers wondering how in the world a grown man could get his penis in them. The pain that baby had to go through and then to be beaten after. This was not by some stranger or extended family member but her father! Her father! I just can’t understand. I am holding back tears thinking of the pain she went through and the trauma that will stay with her for the rest of her life. If she lives this will be public record or at the very least know by the family. When she gets older and starts asking questions what will her mother be able to say? It’s not going to be something that can be lied about. It’s going to come out. How do you explain this to her? Not only did the poor baby girl live through this but now she will eventually find out the truth and have to come to some sort of terms later in life. She will not only suffer now from the actual abuse but the mental abuse that this will bring later. A part of me thinks that if she lives the mother should pack up with her change the names of them both and cut all ties to the family and start over. Then maybe just maybe they both can put this behind them and pray that it never comes out and have some sort of a normal life. The problem is that the mother is only 15. The father on the other hand was 18 and yes that’s young but there is no excuse for what he did. I have no desire to know why he did it. I am shocked that he lived long enough to be arrested. I think if it had been me I would have killed him. It’s hard enough for me to listen to DP yell at the boys when they need to be yelled at. So, I can’t imagine what kind of rage went through the mother and family. A friend of mine said she would like to hear what the 18year old father had to say and you know I really just don’t care why. He and the mother created that baby girl and he just hurt her more than anyone ever could with his actions. It’s one thing if she had gone through this by some stranger or extended family member but this was her father. This is the man that created her and was supposed to love her and protect her from all the evil things in the world. Yet he just became her worst nightmare. The only thing I can put a positive on is that thank god she is so small she will never remember what happened and have to relive it for the rest of her life. I pray that he goes to jail for life and that the other inmates beat the crap out of him daily and rape him every chance they can. I hope he learns and feels the pain he put his baby girl through. I hope he suffers for a long time. I hope he comes to realize how unspeakable this act was and that one day after he has been forced to suffer over and over takes his own life. After all, his life is now worthless because of his actions. I pray that this baby girl never has to know the pain of what he did. I pray that she makes it and grows up to be a healthy woman with a life filled with love and happiness.
