I needed a few days to assimilate Chant's story. That in this age of informed world still one can find people torturing their own children, are way out of the wildest fantasy...


Poem Artwork



My heart is bleeding today and will forever
because I saw horrid images of a battered child
which couldn’t be left in peace by his mother
that took him from a home and then took his life.

I remember then my own childhood, defenseless,
after all she was my mother, I couldn’t fight back,
and days becoming a long collection of welts,
in the soul by words, on the skin by her hands.

How could that mother do such a ghastly thing
to a little and defenseless toddler, her own child,
beat for no reason, terrorize, depriving him of love,
how could a mother do it, nobody understand.

Been there, taken it, survived....Of course not as bad as this poor we mite, but my legs were a mass of welts most the time, madness reigned supreme where I grew up, mother had anger to KILL, angels protected me from her wrath.
My heart bleeds for the pain this little one went through, but he was not ignored, or forgotten, and all is recorded~Only heaven knows why he didnt survive, when others do. His Robe will have a red hem for martyrdom.

Grace and peace be with you
Ch'erie

They do it because they can! It is not the child's fault for being born, but so-called mothers blame the child for all their sorrows! Mothers and Fathers make Shadow Children, that grow-up to be lonely, scarred Shadow People! LOVE YOU! SC

A realistic depicting of a cruel parenthood. "Ngati, Chanti's child story"
strikes thoughts for humannity and understanding; justice and fairness.

In respect and admiration,

This tears at my heart Georg for too much is let go in todays world, if you put in a report of child abuse, they call and make an appointment to go check it out a week later, instead of getting of their butts and tending to it right away. They say they have to go by the book, well it is plain to see, the wrong person has written the book and it so upsets me. Thanks georg for sharing.

Very horrendous crimes towards children and it never seems to stop now matter what laws there are. Such utter pain kept in silence should never be....

Be safe,

If only such parents knew or cared what power they have over a child's entire life! This is so well written Georg but almost too painful to read.

My husband has always said - "give me five minutes with the person who abuses a child, let them feel what it is to feel pain."

We have seen many children who are abused and end up in foster care. In our case some are blessed to live with my step-son and daughter-in-law, where love abounds and boundaries are taught. They are an exceptional young couple - having as many as 5 foster children [at once] plus their own 3.

Abuse - zero tolerance (Karla's words). Hang the perpetrators out to dry. Let's see if they will cry - STOP!

Georg,

Not only the physical abuse, but the verbal, the sexual: how can mankind do this to their own offspring? When a person abuses a child, they cease to be human in my eyes. Tragic, heartbreaking write: the line that got me was,

"...and days becoming a long collection of welts...." *tears*

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Georg,
I can't get the images out of my mind either. I agree with every statement below me, I just wish there was something more we could do.
God bless Ngati and you.

Georg, as hard as it is to try to understand how someone could be so mean and cruel, especially to a child, perhaps thats the part of the nature of man that we would not want to know. A heartfelt write.

Peace,

They should have to suffer the same fate. Toxic Parents! I had them too. They do untold damage.

I agree with Karen. No child should be treated this way.

What did Ngati ever do to warrent being bludgeoned to death at the hands of those monsters?? It just breaks my heart when I think of those horrific images of the little one's broken, badly battered body! This is a crime that must be eradicated NOW and I am glad ~Chanti is making us aware of it! We must ALL do our part to eradicate child abuse and protect the innocent little ones!

Heartwrenching write; God bless the dear little children! May they find safety and the love they so rightfully deserve!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

My dear Georg, many do not want to comment on such a horrific topic as abuse and especially one that leads to the death of a child.
Sex abuse the same thing. I pity those who choose to bury their heads in the sand and quickly turn the page, or delete a friend because it’s too sickening!
Tell me, how does that kind of response help put a stop to this insanity?
Some mothers were never meant to be mothers but sadly never realized it until it was too late.
God Bless, love Holly

How indeed Georg,
Abuse is a vicious cycle that is passed from generaztion to generation. Most times if you look at the abuser they were at one time an abusee. It makes my heart sad that sometimes we humans can be so Screwed up, and never realize it till it's too late.
