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.
