I think that is just terrible. It makes me angry too. I mean, I thought we sent our kids to school and that with the staff there and security guards, our kids should be somewhat safe. In the school that my daughter goes to, they have lists of ppl that can pick up their child and what not, but the point stands that they do i.d. the parents if the staff doesn't know who they are. I, myself, have had to show i.d. just to see my child to bring her forgotten books, or lunch money.
I think that the school should also be held somewhat responsible also. The incident happened on school grounds and they are supposed to watching over our children while they are there too to help keep them safe.
Here is another story that just really makes me angry and sad.
Mom, Boyfriend Charged With Drowning Kids
CLINTON, Ill. - A woman and her boyfriend were charged with first-degree murder Wednesday in the deaths of her three children, who drowned when their car plunged into a lake in September in what initially looked like a tragic accident.
Sheriff Roger Massey would not say how the car went down a boat ramp into Clinton Lake, killing the 6-year-old, 3-year-old and toddler inside.
Massey said authorities know what the motive was, but he would not provide details other than to say it did not involve life-insurance money.
Maurice Lagrone Jr., 28, and Amanda Hamm, 27, were each charged with three counts of first-degree murder for each death, Massey said. They were arrested separately Tuesday and were being held on $5 million bail.

Often in Trinidad, children are the victims of brutal murders that involve the love affairs of their parents where a jealous man or woman comes home and either poisons or murders everyone in the house, yes, including the children.
Oh gosh what a terrible story, it was a similar case years ago in the US when a mother fake the death of their two children in the same way than the woman of the article that Mss posted, she did it because she was 'in love' with a guy that did not want children! *rolling eyes* it makes me sick!!!!!
@JB yes, you're right. Also in Trinidad lots of children suffer physical abuse and there is NO control over the way parents 'discipline' their children, you can see in the streets parents slapping and kicking their children brutally in the streets and if you go to the police to report it they don't think the person was 'overdoing it' after all the 'culture' in this crazy country is 'give him lashes, give him lashes' TERRIBLE! it makes me soooo mad!!!!
That is just sad, that many places look and see that children should have no rights at all. Here where I live, the state would not hesitate to come in and take the children from the parents that abuse their children. But unfortunately, many abuse cases go unreported. Although, store clerks have been known to call the police on parents that are physically slapping their children in the store. And the police do not hesitate to step in and deal with it.
I just find the whole thing sad that so many people that can't have children and so desperately want one. While other people choose to abuse, neglect, physically harm, or kill their children for their own selfish reasons.
Not to sound majorly harsh, but I truly think that they should really start punishing these abusive parents to the fullest extent of the law.

When they use religion to carry out their acts of evil it gets me even more angry. The below snip reminds me of an infamous group called, 'The Family'.
I have a hard time reading about this kind of thing... and an even harder time discussing it. I just feel murderous.
How in the world do these kind of men/women get people to believe in them? it says in the article that his "supporters" showed up at previous hearings dressed in their so-called "religious" garb -- dressed as birds, etc., and beating drums. Who *are* these people???
