Another Dead Baby

These stories are becoming all too familiar.  Innocent children murdered at the hands of a parent.    What really bothers me about reading these horrific stories is that they could have been avoided.  It’s time to change this conversation and at least start a new debate.  And that debate is sterilization.  Now before you scoff, and think this is too radical, hear me out.  First take the time to read the article I linked about the mother who killed her 9 and 13 year olds and then forced their sibling to put them in a freezer.  This was a 35 year old who had 4 kids from multiple fathers who owed thousands in child support.  Her first two kids had been abused and she was on welfare, so it should have been obvious this woman was unfit to be a mother.  So why is she allowed to have more kids?  Or why is it a man, sorry male, can father a child he has no intention of taking care of and then go out and have 2, 3, 7 more kids?  Locking them up is pointless.  Cutting welfare only hurts the kids so why not stop it in the first place.  Statistics show these kids will struggle in school, become antisocial and most likely make the same mistakes as their parents.  So why can’t we at least have this debate.  Is it that Taboo?  The moral question we should all ask, is how many more innocent children will suffer?  It’s time to move the conversation forward and end this vicious cycle.
