Sickening Hits Home

11Jan/100

I was disgusted to read this headline earlier this evening, knowing it had happened in our city: "Granite City mother accused of breaking son’s limbs."

I was even more disgusted to realize that this happened on our block... "The suspect is Leslie Patrick of the 2500 block of State Street."

And just utterly heartbroken to read it was a three-year-old. A helpless, dependent little boy looking to her - his mother - for love, and protection, and support.

I don't agree with the commenters who are expressing their wish to do her harm. But I certainly agree that she needs to be shown justice for her actions.

Heading to bed now with prayers for her... and especially for her young son.

The whole story.

@owainc @RayPunSD I'd love to hear Father's take on that. There is a personal element missing in the digital self if we're not careful. 2012/05/16
I think there's more a direct relationship of convenience-2-multichannel than indirect of trust-2-multi http://t.co/awl387zc @MineThatData 2012/05/16
