Aren’t
there some sick people out there.
All over
the news today are reports about the killer of a five year old. How blood and
bone fragments were found in his house. I cannot imagine what her parents must
be going through. The torment of knowing that some creep has his hands on their
precious daughter must be absolutely awful.
Then there was the report about the long running soap opera star being
arrested on historic rape charges of a 15 year old back in 1967. That follows
on from the infamous Jimmy Saville child abuse scandal. Unfortunately those accusations were made
after he had died so he could not be called to account. The 81 year old Coro actor claims to be deeply
horrified by the accusations that he vehemently denies. He says he will fight
the charges. Another veteran entertainer, 83 year old Rolf Harris, is also said
to deny similar allegations.
And how about
this, thank goodness it is in America.
There is a
gun company that aims most of its products at children, sorry about the bad pun
there.
Apparently
it is to encourage a ‘gun safety’ attitude in young shooters, to become knowledgeable
and respectful hunters.
Long-time
child advocate commented that marketing weapon specifically for children is mind
boggling. The nation that is debating gun control laws and advocates background
checks willingly allows children to handle guns. Like the four year old
recently who shot and accidentally killed his little sister. Mum said she didn’t
know that the gun was loaded.
Also, from the ‘Only in America file’ is the story
about a woman who disappeared 11 years
ago and whose family believed and grieved that she had died. What she had done one
day after she had dropped her daughter off at school was to decided that
she had had enough and she took off with a group of homeless people. Now
after being homeless for a couple of years she turned herself into the police
saying she was s missing person.
