Children have a right to live


Who’s protecting our children if not the parent (s)? Who does a child call out for when danger arises? How can children be heard if no one is listening? How can we protect our children if society also fails? What are we doing wrong? It saddens me to read more often than not a child dying by the hands of their parents. What could have been so wrong that they give up not only for themselves but their children?
A mother drove her car with her four children into the Hudson River in a suicide and murder attempt but one child survived. This twelve year old child was able to escape through the car window and tell his story.
A father accused of killing his wife which disappeared two years ago, kills his young sons then self in a ‘deadly house fire’ he started. The coroner said the children suffered hatchet marks on their neck. The father emailed his attorney saying he was sorry and goodbye!
We as a civilized society bare a responsibility to the problems abused parents face in relationships with their paramour. The question is how else can we help if they don’t reach out?  
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person. (Article 3).
