I am very troubled by these news lately!
Why are there so many children’s death, abuse and abandoned?
We as parents have to safe guard them not kill them!!!
Today I pray for the innocent children, the babies!
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 19:14
Buddha Said
If one harms the innocent, suffering will come in these ten ways. He may suffer grief, infirmity, painful accident, serious illness, loss of mind, legal prosecution, fearful accusation, family bereavement, or financial loss; or his house may burn down, and after death he may be thrown into the fire of suffering.

Homosexuality

Malaysiakini.
Malaysia mahu iktiraf homoseks?
Firdaus Khairi Jul 18, 08 1:11pm

I read the article above on Malaysiakini website.
It quoted quite a bit on the Catholic Church too. How the church & the Pope was against homosexuality.
I am a Catholic myself a practicing one. I may not be a very good Catholic but I always trust in Jesus. I Believe God the Father is a forgiving God. I Believe In Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Therefore form all I’ve learned, we humans are not perfect, yet The Lord sent his Son to give His life for us. He loves us no matter who we are and what we are Jesus came for us the sinners. If I a catholic believe this then should it not follow we should accept everyone no matter what their sexual preference is?
Here I can only speak of the Catholic faith because I am a catholic. I cannot comment on Islam as I have no knowledge of it. What I am thinking here is why are people against homosexuality? Are they bad people just because they prefer their own kind?
Let’s make believe that I was gay, would my family, friends, government, church, disown me & Cast me out just because I was gay, without taking into consideration me my self? My character? My life? My personality? Am I out cast just because as a woman I prefer sex with another woman? May be I fall in love with a woman and plan to spend the rest of my life with her? The Lord said “Let you without the sin cast the 1st stone!”
I am in agreement that the homosexual community should be acknowledge as equal citizens and have access to all the same things and services and aid as everyone else!

Jailed for stealing blanket for grandma
JOHOR BARU: A woman who stole a blanket for her elderly grandmother as she could not afford to buy one, ended up being jailed and fined by a magistrate’s court.
Lim Kwai Lian, 24, from Taman Bayu Putri told Magistrate Hafizah Johor Ariff Johor that the doctor had advised her to get a thick blanket for her grandmother who was always feeling cold.
“I took the blanket as I could not afford to buy it,” she said, adding that she was her grandmother’s only care-giver.
Lim had been charged with stealing an Akemi Party blanket worth RM172.53 from the Jusco Department store in Tebrau City here at around 4.30pm on Feb 26.
She added that she worked in a beauty parlour and earned RM1,000 a month, but had to pay for their rental and her grandmother’s medical bills.
The court sentenced Lim to five days’ jail and an RM300 fine, in default three months jail.
*******************************************************************************************
Is anyone going to help her grandmother while she is in jail? As she is the only caregiver? She may not have other living relatives? I know she income of RM1000 while being very little is not little enough for her to be on welfare.
What do people like her do then? Can the government tell me? Because there are really many, many people like her whose income is insufficient for their family but are not qualified for welfare aid either!
Sometimes I feel the government is only interested in jailing the people who are good instead of finding the real crooks out there!

How safe are our children?

The NST online 27/02/09
KUALA LUMPUR: A babysitter and her two sons were picked up by police in Sentul in connection with the sexual abuse of a 1-year old girl.
Police went to their flat in Bandar Baru Sentul and picked them up about 6pm yesterday. An initial medical report had shown that the girl had been sexually abused. Police are tightlipped as to why the three were brought in and whether a second medical report was ready. City Crime Investigation Department chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah said the three suspects were at the police headquarters here and police expected to obtain a remand order today.
On Sunday, a young couple who had entrusted a family friend to babysit their daughter were devastated when they found blood on the toddler's private parts while changing her diaper. The couple immediately rushed her to a clinic. It is learnt that the toddler had been in the woman's care from 9am to 7pm daily, six days a week, for the past seven months. The couple had earlier told reporters that a doctor at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital said that there were penetration wounds in their daughter's private parts, indicating that she had been sodomised and raped.

Cases like this gives me sleepless nights, makes me sick, leaves me with a desperate feeling of being helpless, useless & terrified!
As a single mother, I am constantly worried about my kid’s safety. When I 1st started back at work my kid had just turned one. It took me 2 months of searching and coming to terms with the fact that I will be leaving my little one in the hands of a total stranger from 7am to 7pm daily.
My 1st day at work, I spent a lot of time in the toilet crying and in pain as my breast milk was full and I had to throw it away. I prayed so much I’m sure God was fed up with my repeated prayers!
It was for my child’s safety, for the babysitter to take good care of my child, etc.
This world we live in is full of evil now no where is safe anymore. Cases of children being abused and murdered never heard of before is flooding the news.
I tell you the truth, I had insomnia during my 1st year back to work because I used to have nightmares of not being able to keep my baby safe.
I know there are many single mothers out there how do you cope with things like this? Today my child is 4 yet even at the supermarket I’m constantly afraid my little one might get lost or be kidnapped by some evil person.
Sometimes I know I get paranoid but how do I stop this I do not want to be the over-protective paranoid mom but I never want to be the mom that didn’t manage to keep her kid safe.
As parents our responsibility is so big yet sometimes I feel many of us take things for granted.
