Because of my inaction
A child has died
I pray for her soul
More than I pray for mine
For I am undeserving
But the mother I condemn;
I condemn her to Hell
There, may she forever dwell

JML from what I can gather, you are blaming yourself here? Please don't it is SO hard to know when to cross the line and intervene.
The mother will get her just deserts via the law and eventually her own soul.

May the world hug you today,
With it's warmth and love.
I pray it whispers a joyful tune in your heart,
That tell you there is a friend sitting in another corner of the world,
Wishing you well and
wishing you love......

JML - how terribly sad your words are. I don't know the situation but do not blame yourself for inaction. How do we know when or when not to act? Take care friend.

This was a true story. I hope everyone will take action when they know of a child in a bad home environment, instead of letting others do it, and staying un-involved. I know i was not to blame really, but i wrote this while the emotions were still fresh. I will always feel some complicity.
Thanks for reading this one.

This is a horrible place to be, but Isis is right, you can't blame yourself. My heart to you.
