THE TRAGEDY..
bcoz i dun really like to read the papers, i would be the last to receive hot news... i'm sure by now everybody would have known abt the Nurin case?.... well, i juz found out abt the late child over the weekend. and not by reading the papers but by my SIL who was reading the Malay paper at the time.

she was the one who brought me up to date with the strory. A tragic one indeed. Now, that they've "caught" the woman in action on cctv, i hope they'd be able to find her soon enuff!... i juz cannot believe the extent of injury inflicted upon this 8yr old child.

She's a child for heaven's sake.. an innocent child who have a whole life ahead of her. the future and hope of 2 parents. wat were the criminals thinking doing wat they did to her? it's soooo sad! do they know wat kind of suffering the mother went thru juz to give birth to her and to care for her? Do they know the anguish the parents must have felt seeing their dead daughter in front of them unrecognisable? Don't they have any conscience at all for murdering an innocent child?

as the pictures of her burial stared at me, i juz don't understand what could possibly be in the minds of these criminals as they strike that fatal blow. Why couldn't they juz go kill a cow or something if they really need to kill a piece of meat. at least, its meat can be eaten after the slay!

cases of such nature - child abuse, rape and murders - seemed to be on the rise. wat's happening to the world? The children is our future. They are (or most of them anyways) are from the seeds of our love. As parents, we have to protect them from these predators. And as parents, we too have to do the right thing if we know our child have "problems". I know it's easier said than done. It takes a whole lot of courage for a parent to stand up and tell the world that his/her child have issues and send him/her to the right channel to be led to the right path. But as a parent yourself, wouldn't it be better to take a more proactive approach before the problem escalates and eventually lead to hurting another human being, let alone, someone else's child?
