Lets take a ride back in time to the summer of 1989.
It was about 4pm, the sun was hot and I was sitting in front watching my daughter Alex drawing all over the interlock with the colored chalk I had gotten her recently.
I decided that ice cream would go good and got up to walk to the corner store, which was only about 60 feet from where I lived.
Instead of sending her inside to her mother I took Alex with me, I wasn’t going to leave a three year old by herself alone even in an enclosed area.
As I was halfway to the store the neighbour’s three year old shot out in front of us and was ripping a trail towards the street.
I looked up the laneway and I didn’t see Mr Ng or his wife and knowing the people they were, this kid shouldn’t be where he was and he was picking up speed and running towards the busy intersection.

The dilemma, I had a 3 year old in my hands, my pride and joy, do I put her down next to a street that was over flowing with rush hour traffic and run for the neighbour’s kid or do I protect my kid and watch the neighbour’s get splattered by traffic?

I stood there pondering all the possibilities in my head.
He wasn’t a really good neighbour, kinda snotty to be frank.
We always invited him over with his family when we had a BBQ but chose not to and stay to himself, which is his right, I do enjoy my privacy to.

His kid was about twenty feet from the intersection now.

If I put my daughter down on the ground and run to save the kid, what would happen if mine ran into the street and got hurt, what then?
Shit happens and that fucker Murphy is a real cocksucker sometimes.
How would I live with the thought of tossing my kid aside to save someone else’s?

Decisions Decisions

Every day people make decisions, some small some huge that affect the whole world but decisions have to be made.
Hopefully before one makes a decision they stop and think about it.
You don’t have to spend a lot of time thinking, most decisions are made in a matter of seconds some longer but they are big ones.

The kid’s about ten feet from the intersection and his pudgy body with the help of gravity is pulling him faster to the street.

I have been watching a kidnapping unfold on the news for the last couple of days.
Someone snatched little Madeleine McCann from her parents while on vacation in Portugal.

I can’t imagine having someone steal one of my kids.
Even though I haven’t seen mine for the last seven years I know they are at least safe with their mother but to have a stranger take them would drive me crazy.

I watch the news in Europe a lot because my parents have their TV on the Greek channel for at least 16 hours of the day and I see some horrible crimes happening there especially to kids.
There is a big market starting over there and it’s the sale of human body parts.
People, kids, getting snatched off the streets and being butchered like a sheep to be harvested for their organs to be sold to someone with the money to buy said organs so their child could live.
I don’t blame a parent for wanting to save their child but I would like to know if they knew where the parts were coming from and would they approve, I know I wouldn’t?
Imagine we are now farming humans.

People who kidnap other peoples kids should be tied down and have their skin ripped off slowly with a pair of pliers until they die because that’s what it feels like to a parent to have a child stolen from them forever.
Spending the rest of their life with a false hope, trying to believe that they are still alive looking at every child that walks by that just might be theirs.

We go through great lengths to protect our children and even with all the work we put into it, it’s not enough sometimes.
The bad guys find ways to get around our guard and snatch our kids.

I’m sure Mr. and Mrs. McCann took all the precautions necessary to protect their child especially in a foreign country.
Let’s look how this happened.
They were at the restaurant having dinner while their kids were in the hotel room alone.
KIDS, two of them, ALONE in the HOTEL room.

WTF!!!!!!!

Who leaves their kids alone in a hotel room at the age of three then takes off to have dinner.
What, you didn’t rent a hotel with room service or you just didn’t want the bother of having your kids along.
Why did they bring them along for in the first place and not leave them with a family member for a week while you are off getting a break?
This couple has twins and they are lucky that they didn’t take both kids or maybe they didn’t see the other one in their hast.
Now there are offering a huge reward for the where abouts of the kid.
The Portuguese have reassured the parents the kid is still alive.
How do they know that?
Are they the ones that took the kid?
I hope little Madeleine McCann is found safe and sound but with every passing day the odds will be against her.

I put Alex on the ground and yelled at her at the top of my lungs causing her to cry and freeze where she lay on the sidewalk then ran for speedy and got him as he stepped out on the street in time before a bus passed by.
Walking back I snatch my still shrieking kid, who knew how to cry with the best of them (Probably got that from her mother).
Walked to the neighbor’s house and surprised her with a gift.
She didn’t even know the kid had gotten out of his bed and house.

Sometimes decisions have to be made on the spur of the moment.
All that transpired with the neighbor’s kid and my daughter took no more than 5 seconds and I made a decision in that time, a decision I thought was right and could live with and don’t think it all ended there.
I still have dreams of that time once in awhile and see what could have happened either way in my head and it scares me.

The parents of that little girl had more time to decide what was MORE important and they made the choice to leave their kids unattended and to go have a nice romantic dinner instead.
Now they wonder what happened and the BS about running back to the room every minute to check is exactly that, BS.
I'll be keeping little Madeleine McCann in my thought and ask all of you to do the same.

This world is not going to Hell.
It is Hell and we are living it.

Tell me, how many of you would leave your three year olds alone in a hotel room to go have dinner?

Have a nice day
