The whole world should be sterilized!

So I watch the news in the morning, because I'm super awesome like that.

I've always strongly believed that probably 60% of people should not have children, or, not as many children. When a woman has a baby, I think there should be a "test" of sorts, you know, to see if you can actually take care of this child financially and emotionally. A lot of people would fail.
Far too often do I see parents mis-treating their children. Screaming and yanking them around in public. I've once said something to a woman, who brought her children to the mall, and felt the need to scream at them to basically stop moving or making any sounds at all.. They were being FAR from bad, I've seen bad kids.. These kids were just regular kids.. Giggling with one another. If you can't handle your kids in a public setting and you have to get stuff done, here's a tip.. Babysitter!! Or, CALM THE FUCK DOWN! If you are willing to act so atrocious towards your kids in public, for doing nothing wrong.. I can't even begin to imagine what will happen at home, in private, when they make a mistake, or misbehave.
So, all that being said, back to how I watch the news every morning.
Recently on the news, there was a couple who had locked their granddaughter in a windowless furness room, given her no food, and more or less leaving her to die.
I misheard the info the first time I heard it, I thought she had in fact died, thankfully she didn't.
The couple was given 3 years in prison. They were charged with "failure to provide the necessities of life". Ok!! First off, you knew she could die, you obviously didn't give a rats ass. Is that not attempted murder? Or even torture? If someone did that to an adult, it would certainly be one of the two, but because its a child you simply failed to provide?! Fuck that.. Because its a child I think makes it much worse!
And 3 years in prison? Oh! Great! Courts really showed them!
There are many people around the world who do this stuff to their children, or, just emotionally abandon their children. They don't properly provide for them, they don't help them grow into a responsible, healthy adult. They should have never had children to begin with!
It reminds me of a series of books I read, the first one was called "A Child Called It". The boy was tortured beyond anything. It is a true story written by the boy himself. There are 3 books in the series. The first is the story about his life with his mother, father and siblings and the tortures he encountered in his early years. The second is about his life in foster homes and the subsequent abuse he receives in those years. The final book is about how is early traumas affect his life as an adult, as he is married with children of his own.
I highly suggest reading them. It's tough to get through, only because it is so awful, but it definitely gives you insight into the types of people who are able to care for children.

So that's my rant on children. Just because you can get pregnant, and can give birth, and can have a child.. Doesn't mean you should.
