I just don't get it

I know I should be in bed instead of reading/watching the news online. . .

But I just don't get it. I'm reading about the girl in California that was apparently kidnapped and murdered, and possibly raped, by a female Sunday School teacher.

There are way too many cased of child abuse, molestation, etc.

How can someone treat a child that way? What possibly could be going through a person's mind that would make them do this?

I couldn't agree with you more. The world can be a horrific place.

I ask myself the same thing every time I read something like this as well. In fact, everytime I've had a new foster child in my home I wonder.

Our adoption was final April 30th. Our home is supposed to be closed (according to DFCS rules) for 6 months to give our kids time to adjust. DFCS called me this week asking if we had room for a sibling group.

sigh. I suspect that if God gave me a mansion, I'd be one of these crazy mama's who adopt like 30 kids, lol.
