Child Beaten to Death in Front of Motorists

[Sundae]

I don't have children, but I have a duty to myself not to be put in danger.
Reviewing it without it in front of me I would go with the option of calling the police.

It's possible that if I saw it in front of me all my fears of physical injury and hatred of confrontation would be swept away. Hard to say. I've spoken up for complete strangers before, and stood up for myself in ways that I look back on and marvel. Taking physical action might be the next step if I saw someone else in physical danger. Hard to say, I've never hit someone who hasn't loved me before, I doubt I'd start on a violent stranger.

I'm certainly not saying I think it would be wrong to intervene. I'm just trying to be honest about my own actions.

Just this week I've read about a couple of child deaths at the hands of parents. A girl starved to death in her mother and stepfather's house. Another girl (again, malnourished) died of pneumonia I think, after being locked upstairs in the family's pub. A kid tied to a tree as punishment in America (Louisiana?)

Contraception isn't murder.
