I met at camp and I was a loner and very quiet. no one talked to me… we sat at the same table with other people but I don't know when it started but he started paying attention to me… I told a story and he was the only one that that listened and pulled up a chair front seat.. then he complimented me and said I looked pretty in my Aeropostale shirt, he had a twin sister who sat next to me and talked to me and asked questions, and I never knew our mom’s exchanged numbers to car pool his mom asked my mother

he mentioned doing something to his wife and kept looking at me

his mother noticed me and I was known for not smiling and she told me to smile

I don’t know what he saw I was so pathetic and unsmart…

he’s the only guy who was ever kind to me and made me feel seen.

Life went on ofc he followed a couple of my cousins but never me and I believe he got my number but never reached out so I never really thought about him.

I ended up moving out of state for college and he moved to the same city. He moved to a different city and I ended up moving there for a job offer.

he's married and has a wife and he seems like a good dad and husband.. I did reach out to congratulate him and he left it on read so I moved on

It seems like the cases of child abuse have been skyrocketing at an alarming rate. It makes me want to cry every time I heard those cases. Last week I've just read about a 1 month-old baby surviving SBS (shaken baby syndrome). He (now an older kid) has cerebral palsy and unable to ever eat on his own, talk or walk.

Other cases involved a 2 year-old boy that was beaten by his stepfather and left in a wheelchair and on a 24-hour care routine for life. He can't ever walk again. The cases goes on and on. A mother slapped her 3 year-old boy hard enough for him to fall out of upper bunk bed and hit his hard hard on some TV stand, leaving him with permanent brain damage.

The baby, toddler or young child that survived, were left with catastrophic brain damages. They were all born a healthy, functional baby and that life was forever stolen from them. They already gave that child a life sentence. Seriously should that already be a mandatory life sentence without parole. If a mother was given a life sentence for leaving her toddler at home (to fend for herself and the girl died of starvation) while she went on vacation, then shaking or beating a child and leaving brain damages should be the same sentence.

I think some things deserved that sentence even if the victim survives. I really hope a new law passes by one day, that gives that an immediate life sentence without parole. They destroyed a child's life and future.
