Prosecutor: 4-year-old Michigan City boy beaten to death for not eating

I have a four year old. He doesn't eat. I would never in a million years consider beating him because of it.

I want to pretend I didn't read the article about the man who delivers babies alive and then cuts their spinal cords to kill them. This happened in AMERICA.

I want to pretend that women and children aren't sold to be used as sexual slaves every minute of every day.
I want to pretend that every child has enough to eat, warm clothes to wear and someone to hug them everyday.
I want my heart to stop hurting.
I want to feel like I can do something about this.
