Two years ago I wrote how the picture of little Sean Ford Paddock haunted me. It still does. Kids don’t deserve the kind of abuse this poor kid and his siblings had to suffer. It turns my stomach.
Now the murder trial of Lynn Paddock has begun. I hope that something good can come out of this, that something will change, but I’m not optimistic.
Its such a complex problem. Sean couldn’t stay home because of abuse. He couldn’t stay with his uncle because of the expense. All he had left was Lynn Paddock, the adoptive mother who offered him a loveless home. Where do you go when your parents aren’t fit to be parents?
Having 4 children myself, I also get sick to my stomach when I here of crap like this happening.
i.e. Recent reports of the 4yr old boy killed by his mother by wrapping him in blankets so tight he could not breathe.
I know it is not Christian to do, but I would like to beat on some of these parents!!
