Mothers Murdering or Abusing their Children
Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:05 pm
Is it just my imagination, or are there an increasing number of utterly horrid mothers these days?
Now, before I'm marched off to a 're-education camp' I will readily admit that shit-scum fathers have been with us for ever. It was almost considered normal in certain settings, but women seem to have gained equality in this field recently.
Almost every day I open the paper to read of yet another court case concerning a mother on trial for killing her kids, or starving them or keeping them locked in a box full of their own shit and feed on dog food etc. What really polishes me off is the extraordinary light sentences handed to these women. Often they are allowed to keep what's left of their remaining children (shudder!) and required to attend 'counseling' sessions.
Yet organisations which oppose child abuse seem remarkably quiet about all of this. On the other hand, they go berserk at an advertisement featuring a 23 year old model wearing a short plaid skirt - claiming it promotes child abuse.
