Sick. Shit.

I just read a story about a man who ate his four-year-old’s eyes, and it saddens me to no end. Then the man went and hacked at his own legs with an ax – apparently he was in a wheelchair. Clearly he has some real problems. But that doesn’t take the sting out of the statement “my daddy ate my eyes” issued to the police by the son. The boy might – and I stress might – regain sight in his right eye, but it appears the other one is gone for good. Yuck. What the f*ck is wrong with people?

I know this is an isolated incident made visible by the grand powers of the Internet. But damn, people need to get serious about taking care of their kids. Help the kids to see the possibilities of the world. Please don't take their vision away be it literally, emotionally or spiritually. And it's time the rest of the world stopped turning a blind eye.
