Today I spent ten hours in my minivan. The day involved driving up to Denton (past Dallas) to pick up Kendall and Lauren from orientation at UNT.
My ass is numb, my legs sore, but that's ok. It was for my child, a child I have loved since I knew she was growing inside me. A child I have loved beyond reason every single day of her life. A child whose hug I would walk through Hell just to feel, her laugh just to hear.
There is nothing I would not do to protect her. My love is all consuming, without condition, without hesitation, never ending.
That is what EVERY CHILD DESERVES.
Yet so many children come into this world as a result of unprotected sex, not desire to pour every fiber of one's being into parenting and protecting.
There are untold numbers of children in this world living in anguish, marginalized, ignored, abused, hungry - not just for nourishment, but for nurturing. A hug to so many children would be as welcome as a Happy Meal.
Which brings me to a precious 3 year old who is hospitalized in Oklahoma with injuries so horrific, memories inflicted upon him so heinous, I honestly find myself wishing the angels would come take him away, release him from the unbearable suffering, unimaginable abuse he has endured at the hands of those he should have been able to trust most in this world.
First meet Jennifer Chapman, his "babysitter." I couch that in quotation marks because the last thing she did was look out for his well being.
This monstrous piece of shit SOLD HIM to two men so they could have sex with him, in exchange for giving her all she really cares about: METH.
At their hands he was raped repeatedly for hours. He was forced to drink bleach (his face is covered with chemical burns. A portion of his scalp/skull was ripped off. And he had been hung by a dog collar for hours.
Wrap your mind around that. I can't. I cannot conceive of hurting any child, let alone a 3 year old little boy. And it is beyond my mind's ability to grasp how anyone could be so insanely, monstrously cruel.
My heart wants to reach through this story and rescue him. Hold him. Tell him he is safe. That no one will ever hurt him again.
When these masses of sewage were finished torturing him, they returned him to his babysitter, who was staying in a motel with his mother.
Ah, yes - his mother. Another gem in the humanity crown. Meet Leana Lauck - another methhead.
Leana told police she knew he was injured but waited to do anything about it - FOR HOURS - EIGHTEEN HOURS.
She was more concerned with what would happen to her if she took him to the hospital.
So she indulged in some more meth with her friend while he lay there suffering, a portion of his head missing.
Again, I find myself very conflicted. Would death be a sweet release for this tormented child who has endured pure evil? His body ripped apart, his psyche torn even more.
As for his mother, babysitter, and the two wastes of oxygen who are still on the loose? Death is far too easy for them. They need abused. They need to feel every ounce of agony, every river of pain that coursed through him, every horrific second of consciousness in which he could not understand what was happening to him or why, only that it was, and it was excruciating.
They need tortured, for TWENTY FOUR HOURS, until they beg for death. And even then, their wish would not be granted. They would be dunked in bleach - every open wound a fiery cauldron of fresh pain as the chemicals burn into their flesh.
Then, dump them in a pit and let what life is left slowly eek out of them into the dirt.
I do not want to hear them hide behind meth as their excuse. I don't want to hear an insanity defense. I. DON'T. CARE.
They took the most precious thing in this world - a child - and put him through hell for their selfish enjoyment.
This child only deserves Heaven. LOVE, whether here or in whatever lies beyond our last breath.
These sacks of flesh? Well, I don't know if Satan could even stomach their presence in Hell. I imagine even he has standards.
