I really wish I knew why

People suck so bad..

In the last two days, I've gone to a 1 year old beaten to death by Mom's boyfriend and a 4 year old strangled by her Mother...

WTF??

Are you a police officer? There has always been wicked people in this world, but recently the evil seems to be pervasive. It’s everywhere. People committing the most horrendous acts against others. It does not bode well for this world.

How do you stay psychologically healthy being exposed to horrors like this? @Ironhand

@Carissimi I spent almost 20 years in the Military before this. Compartmentalization is one of my specialties. I work out..alot.

I work out too, but it wouldn’t help my sanity being traumatized with this stuff. I guess some minds find their own way to deal with it. Tom Ballard from “Operation Underground Railway” shared how he deals with finding trafficked children in circumstances that most of us could not handle. You have found your ways to do it. Thank you for your service. @Ironhand

Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child.....

I'm sorry you've had to see things like that, it must be bloody hard to deal with 😔

@WelshLovely Amen..

Honestly, I've done this for so long I'm almost desensitized to it. At least at the scene.

@Ironhand Thank you for your work
Ironhand · 51-55, M
@Mindful Appreciate it.
It makes me sad to read (or watch) news like this. I just can’t imagine how people can be evil, specially to a child.

I'm going to point the finger at Social Services, most of them are afraid to tackle threatening behaviour and are happy to waste time on mild infringements.
Source: the media for child deaths and my own experience of 2 social workers wasting time investigating me because my daughter 'dreamt'* that I threatened her. (Luckily for the period of time I would've had to have committed this offence I had 2 (female yes it makes a difference) witnesses who would say my daughter was happy in my company.
Dreamt was what she told me -made it up was what I believe.

It's been that way for a long time.
Microwaving babies was a big one in Toronto. Back in 2000, I knew a Constable out there who worked on the homicide unit, and she said it was pretty much weekly.
That's just human nature.

Social worker?

As a bit of a research minded person I can’t help but wonder “Did they ever consider abortion?” Likely there were drugs involved (as in the mother using).

Parenting is not for everyone. What a tragedy.

@Mindful No. First responder.
Your final 3 letters sum it up

That’s horrible. My sister in law adopted a baby long ago whose mom’s bf threw her into a wall as hard as he could- she was 3 or 4 months old. Till this day she’s in a wheelchair and has serious brain damage. She had no issues before that 😔 I wanted to kill the bastard even though I had no idea who he was.

Death penalty should be awarded to such crimes if proven guilty
Breaks my heart …. Mentally sick people should not have kids ..

You’re definitely right. People can and do suck sometimes.

Thank you for your service, btw…
