Protecting Our Children and Grandchildren.

I was just reading an update to the story about the missing toddler, Ayla Reynolds.  Have you noticed how often toddlers go missing?  It breaks my heart and makes me furious at the same time.  What is wrong with these people?  How can anyone put a toddler, a child or anyone else through this?  It's awful for anyone, but there's just something about someone harming a child that's just beyond my comprehension. I would personally like to get my hands on people who do this.  I pray that Ayla is found okay, but it's not looking good.  I personally think the last person who was with the child should be held without bond even though they are considered innocent until proven guilty. 

I never went missing - ever.  I was sexually abused as a child (not by my parents) but I can tell you that I never forgot and it never stopped affecting me.  When I was young, it was not something I was warned about and it was not something that was talked about either.  How I wish I had told someone.  I can assure you I explained very early to my boys that there are evil people in this world and swore that if anyone ever touched them inappropriately, that person would deal with my wrath and it would not be pretty.  Now that I have a grandson, I'll make sure he understands as well.  NO ONE messes with my kids or grandson.  The innocence of children is taken away already by TV, movies and just walking down the street.  A lot of people no longer care about being a good example to their children.  Don't get me wrong, I made mistakes with mine too.  But, the world was a different place when they were growing up.   Mistakes and evil weren't as rampant as they are today.  It's practically impossible to protect them from all the things being crammed down their throats by TV, the news, commercials, things taught in schools that I don't think should be taught and the filth that is rampant today.  God help them.  God help us all. We should all be very careful what is watched, heard and seen in our homes.

Till next time,
Be safe~!
