Sad because the child never had a chance. Seems as though that was his destiny.

So, apparently, did she. The first charge of child neglect was filed in 1984, when Lorina failed to follow doctors' orders for treating two-year-old Victor's eye condition. He eventually went blind. The following year 22-month- old Yummy arrived at Jackson Park Hospital covered with scratches and bruises. A few months later it was his sister, this time with second- and third-degree burns on her genitals. Lorina explained that the toddler had fallen on the radiator. An emergency-room nurse told the court that the injuries did not quite match the story. Someone probably held the child on the heater, the nurse testified.
The courts finally moved in a year later, when neighbors told police that the five children were routinely being left at home alone. By the time they removed the kids, Yummy was a bundle of anger and scars. He had long welts on his left leg; police suspected he was beaten with an electrical cord. There were cigarette burns on his shoulders and buttocks. "I never beat my kids," Lorina insists to this day. She says the scars were caused by chicken pox, not cigarettes. "I gave him all the attention I could," she says of Yummy, but admits there were distractions. Now 29, she has been arrested 41 times, mainly for prostitution.
Lil man never had a chance...

I can see how Yummy was basically created and engineered to be what he was but, how are we supposed to stop this from happening?
Where do we start?
I mean we start by educating young kids as well as expecting young adults on the importance and difficulties of parenting because far too often they have a severely skewed outlook on all that goes into being a parent.
My question is how do we derail the train once it has embarked on this course for a collision with disaster and tragedy?
It's hard to stop this from happening since there is a already a pattern there; his grandmother had 10 children that she couldn't raisewell and his own mother was a crack addict with more children than she could handle. I mean come on "chicken pox and not cigarette burns"?!! Really?
To stop and derail a train already on course you would need isolation and LOVE. Yes love, because when he was given even an ounce of it he would act like a"normal" kid. If you recall, one of the neighbors said that he was "sweet at jelly" when he was on his own and he had a great mind. He madea freaking working tandem! How many young kids could pull that off? For someone so young that could learn about cars, let alone operate one being so shortcould have been used for the better but there wasn't a place for him to go to channel his thoughts and ideas. WE NEED MENTORS!
Edit: Maybe I should log off and do more volunteering for the needy.
