“Do you have any children?”

August 13th, 2008 · 2 Comments · A father's POV, Dr Pixie says, Education, Ergonomics

That is usually the question parents ask the detective, in cops & robbers shows on TV, when they speak about the mishaps regarding their kids.

I never knew the implications until I now that I have my own kids. The writers of these shows know what they are talking about- about how parents feel about kids, and about how child-less folks not knowing what it feels like when mishaps befall (other people’s) children.

I saw this article on The Star this morning. It saddens me that people can do this to children; and in this case, presumably by someone who’s not had kids of their own.

What I had wanted to share in this post, mainly, is that I was reminded by Dr Pixie recently not to throw kids up in the air during play- you know, throw them up, and catch them by the armpits when they are falling.

She said that in playing like this, there is a chance of busting a vein or vessel in the head.

Presumably the same thing this abused child suffered “….. (sic) had suffered bleeding in the head probably due to a violent shake”…..

Sigh…

    You know, even when we have kids, and try to imagine the sufdering of a distraughed parent, we can’t quite imagine it until we actually are the victim. Not that I wish it on anyone…but it’s true.

    Just like I really could not imagine what it’s like to lose a parent until my dad passed away, or those who have suffered a miscarriage. Now I can really identify with all who have gone through such a loss.

    I can’t imagine anyone purposefully inflicting pain on children. I don’t want to imagine it and will not do so. i turn the page when I see such articles and cry when I see shows like that.

    Pray for the daughters.
    Pray for the sons.
