I watched a show yesterday that mentioned a child who was born addicted to coccaine. It spend 14 days in the hospital detoxing because the mother was on coccaine, amongst other drugs, during her pregnancy.
While the focus of the show was not the baby, that one fact was etched in my mind. How horrid to experience such a pain. How could any mother/parent subject her child to such things? It bothered me all day yesterday and continues to bother me.
I feel the urge to do something about it. If there is that one girl, how many people are out there who need help with children that need help?
All over the world, there are mothers/caregivers and children fighting for a chance for survival and we,in North America,shot it to hell. Survival is not even an issue anymore- it's the inability and IGNORANCE to use their resources to better the world-- at least, better themselves.
