Affidavit: Children made to dig own graves

[ememdee19]

TRENTON, Tennessee (AP) -- A couple facing criminal abuse charges forced some of their 18 foster, adopted and biological children -- many of them disabled -- to dig their own graves, warning the youngsters they could be killed and nobody would care, according to investigative documents.

Poor babies.

Do you read stuff like this and wonder if the human race doesn't deserve to exist? Ever hear of Kitty Genovese and what her neighbors didn't do?

From Alan Moore's Watchmen:

Stood in firelight, sweltering bloodstain on chest like map of violent new continent. Felt cleansed. Felt dark planet turn under my feet and knew what cats know that makes them scream like babies in night. Looked at sky through smoke heavy with human fat and God was not there. The cold, suffocating dark goes on forever, and we are alone... Live our lives, lacking anything better to do. Devise reason later. Born from oblivion; bear children, hellbound as ourselves; go into oblivion. There is nothing else. Existence is random. Has no pattern save what we imagine after staring at it for too long. No meaning save what we choose to impose. This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It's us. Only us. ... Was reborn then, free to scrawl own design on this morally blank world.

Sicko's

That is awful. I believe in discipline, but that is down right cruel. It sounds like these 2 just wanted the state income coming in every month to raise the kids.

Yeah...

...but did it work?
