Simply Life

Ok, we all know I am not a vegetarian. I do not live the vegan lifestyle. I have heard it can be difficult to get all the nutrients you need, unless you are careful. This story from Scottsdale, AZ makes me upset. This couple have three children. It is fine to not eat meat or dairy products. Everyone makes their own decision in how to live. What is not acceptable to me is that their 3 year old daughter Zion weighs only 12 pounds. TWELVE! Their other two children were also severely underweight, and severely malnourished. I don't see how they could not have realized that is dangerous. Both parents are facing three counts of child abuse, neglect and endangerment.

A newborn baby girl was found dead in an outhouse in a housing development in Chandler. She was full term and had her umbilical cord still attached. She actually was down inside the outhouse.
How could a mother do this to her child? What was going through her mind? It is ridiculous to think that someone would choose murder of an innocent newborn. There are so many other legal options. In Arizona there is something called the Safe Haven program. A mother can drop a baby off in a "Drop off box" and they are brought to CPS custody. There are no reprocussions to this.

These stories get my goat because I so long to have a child of our own, and I see others being careless. Or, just plain disregarding the miracle of life. I cannot comprehend it.
