But, the thought of killing him will never cross my mind. The way this man brutally murdered his son is horrible. The pain and fear that poor boy must have had is unthinkable.

We have these children no one else. The question that needs to be asked is,not whats wrong with them, what wrong with the people in this world. They justs need to be understood, its hard and will take along time and l am not even there but l no l have faith in my children.
