There's this woman at work who always feels she needs to tell me these horrible stories about children being left in cars, being abused, neglected, etc... I can't stand to hear things like this. Being a new mommy, news stories about these topics, TV shows like CSI or Criminal Minds that center around dead children or abused children, or anything like that in general makes me so sad! It affects me so much more than it used to. I picture monkey being in that situation and I almost break down crying.
I know how the world works and I also know that some people are wicked at heart. I just don't want to hear about it! I want to continue living in my white bread world and be oblivious to all the bad things that are happening to children these days. The fact of the matter is, I can think of several of my students who have been abused sexually and physically by their good for nothing parents. I've had to testify in court because of one child, but I still want to believe that people are good at heart. I know that sounds Anne Frank-ish and naive, but I prefer to have a positive outlook on things.
