When did Children become disposable?

Children

When I was a youngster, a child was reverend.
Parents put all their hopes and dreams in to that
child. The future so to speak. As they grew, the
parents thoughts were of doctor, lawyers, or
taken over Dad's business. Hopes and dreams.
Daughter were treated gently, taught the household
chores, of laundry and cooking, so when she married
she would be prepared. Hopes and dreams...

By the time I was a parent, we didn't think in the
lines of hopes and dreams so much, as just trying
to do it right. To make sure that the child, had every
chance at life. Education was high on the agenda.
Be it boy or girl. Watching over them, protecting them
from harm. Yes, just trying to do it right.

I think parents of today, that is 90% of them are a
little of both. Just trying to do it right and hopes
and dreams.
Everyone knows the sweet wonderful smell of a
tiny baby.
Do it right, and hopes and dreams.

But what I want to know is when did children
become disposable? When did they become
targets? The news of the past years seem to get
harder to handle.

Be it Ms. Smith who belted in her children in
the back seat of her car and let it slip into the
lake. The boyfriends who baby-sit and can't
take the pressures of a crying baby. And drug
mother who sells, or beats her child. The wackos
who stole the children out of their beds in the
middle of the night to aim and kill that child. The
children who beat other children to death. The
trusted person (Priest, relatives, teachers and etc.)
so many persons of trust,who molest... And now
we have a father who killed his daughter and her
friend and says he found their bodies.
Who told these people that children are disposable?
What has happen to society?

So hug your child, don't let a cross word end the day.
Because you never know..... you just never know.
