Opening CNN this morning, the first headline that caught my eye was about Caylee Anthony.
Opening Jezebel.com this morning, one of the first articles was about the new details of that poor baby's death.
I am so tired of hearing/reading/seeing the heartbreaking stories surrounding the deaths of children. I'm not going to . . . I can't . . . do it anymore. I'm not going to read those stories. I'm not going to click those links. I'm not going to watch those programs.
They hurt too much.
I can't help but imagine my own little grandson in those stories. I can't help but see his face on one of those broken children. And I get even more angry, even more hurt, because it becomes more personal.
Why? Why? An easy question to ask but an impossible one to answer.
There's no punishment harsh enough for someone who hurts a child. There's no hell hot enough to hold a parent who would harm his or her own child.
Every story breaks my heart.
Not reading those stories, not watching those programs won't solve the problem. It won't mean those tragedies don't happen or bring those children back. It will just be me, hiding my head in the sand.
With the same questions, why? why? running through my head.

I agree with you completely. Once I hear the details,I feel personally traumatized. I try to avoid as much as I can. Maybe if more people adopted a "don't click" policy, the media would realized that no one wants these stories sensationalized.
