I wish to publish a statement about something that I witnessed this morning (Saturday, May 24, 2008) that truly upset me. I was at the Kern Schools Federal Credit Union on Ming Ave. & McDonald Wy. And a 20 to 30-something Hispanic male with a caligraphy lettering tatoo on the back of his neck was there with 2 children, one was an infant (which he was holding) and the other about 3 or 4 years old.
He left the 4 yr old standing all by herself for about 20 minutes until she began crying. It was another 3-5 minutes before a lady decided to calm her down and help her. ...I thank that lady. But my statement is this: Children do not belong to people at first. About the first 18 years of a childs life is Gods' Probationary Period for new parents. Children belong to God, until their parents/guardians can prove themselves completely responsible, accountable and worthy enough to hold parental titleship.
I hope the mother of those children is reading this because there is absolutely NO excuse for such irresponsibility. I have personally seen single fathers who have more children that pay better attention than that.
I did not want to make a scene, but I really should have because the more I think about it the angrier I become. At least by writing this I feel I am at least doing something and that I have a better chance of capturing that mothers attention!
Sincerely,
Royally MAD
PS Please post this statement everywhere, it is one that I feel everyone should read.
