That story about the women convicted for child endangerment…

I know the story was meant to inspire sympathy, but I just. can’t. understand. it. In fact, it makes me FURIOUS.

If somebody raises a hand against your child, that is wrong. You are morally compelled to do everything and endure everything you have to for that child! Whatever the alternative – homelessness? Hunger? Murder? Embarrassment? is worth it to protect the life of YOUR CHILD.

Going to the store while your boyfriend is engaging in psychotic bullying of your toddler is not protecting your child. Anything short of clawing at the asshole who is hitting your daughter and you with a cable is not protecting your child.

We need laws like this to get it into people’s heads: regardless of what ridiculous abuse you allow yourself to tolerate, you don’t tolerate it for a second when someone is touching your child. If it comes down to it, you choose the electric chair over letting someone lay a finger on your kid.

Jesus.
