Prayers for your family. I'm so sorry for your loss. There is nothing like the loss of a child.

Me either!

Then they grow up and beat their spouse. All they know is dysfunction and the cycle continues. What they need is education, love and care. Security not fear. I can't believe this is going on.

How barbaric! Parenting requires a lot of patience, they are children. Their little brains are not even capable of mature behavior. They learn through curiosity and exploring! Parents are to raise their children. That means teach them at every level they go through. Not beat them and destroy their spirit. You wonder why they are joining gangs. Beating in 2018 is unacceptable.

Why are you so angry? No one should be beat anywhere, spanking is a whole different thing. Beating a child is illegal and you will and should go to jail. Discipline is not illegal, including spanking.

Uncle Sam doesn't get that much. Also our taxes is why this nation has excellent roads, infrastructure, social systems, totally free schools, free health care at the health department. All medical for our elderly. Goes on forever and ever. Registered Nurses give medications and follows the doctors instructions. CNA's (certified nurses assistant) do everything else. Even our nurses assistant's have about a year of medical training). No one without training work with patients in our hospitals. The Registered Nurse is paid more for his or her education, and is therefore responsible for noticing changes that might need further attention. Teachers are paid for their knowledge. If you go to college and have a degree in this country, you will be paid for that knowledge and well you should be.

Dilly Tree your totally right and I apologize for my part in the conversation. Totally in appropriate, and I meant no disrespect. Sincerely regret for this man and his family.

sheeprunner12 if that's true why isn't one woman enough for a man. How many relationships end over infidelity. Men think it's ok for them but not for a woman. I'll tell you it breaks our hearts. The anger you see is hurt like you've never felt before.

The best answer that I have Chucky is to watch someone with God in their lives, how they live, how they handle things, how things seem to work out for them. God in your life doesn't mean your a stick in the mud either. God is fun and he does have a sense of humor. Then watch people that haven't had God in their lives, and there is a difference. Our free will is hard. We all make mistakes, but some people just always seem to be down on their luck. There is a lot of suffering in the Bahamas, but it's not God's fault. I hope you at least smile at this but it's a true story. I was watching the Lion King with my granddaughter. Yes, Disney's Lion King. You have to understand my heart is in the Bahamas, the life I really want (my kids included) is there. Anyway I worry about you guys. Scar when he killed Mafacia. Scar was a evil selfish leader, that was starving the pride. He obviously was prospering. Macfacia had obviously loved and taken care of the pride. Anyway you know the story, that's what the Bahamian government has done. Look at Grand Bahama a ghost town. The people literally starving and depending on sidewalk food pantry's for help. Look at New Providence. Look at how they live. I don't see it changing. I pray it will, but the corruption is on many levels. The US is the same way, but the difference is we have plenty of jobs. Our government is very corrupt. All my opinions, that's why they have this discussion. I do care about what happens there.

I do believe in God. First we were given a free will, and we make choices. He does talk to us by influencing us to do the right thing. I know for a fact that I am prayed for everyday, and I know that it has changed what might have been. Most people at this period in time don't know family and church as a whole. I wouldn't trade it for anything. I don't have answers for a lot of things, but God is there.
