Day-3

Today was a slightly different day. I spent most of my time in the court room. When I wasn't in the courtroom I was reviewing cases on child abuse.

Today being only my third day, I haven't read all that many cases; but I have read enough to make me angry. I get frustrated at how these parents treat their kids, or allow them to be treated by other people. It aggravated me to see people care so little about the well-being of someone else, especially someone who can't care for their own well-being.

Today however I read a slightly different case file. This case file was not one in which the mother endangered the child willfully and or merely because she didn't give a damn. This mother loved Mia. She cared a lot and was yet incapacitated to provide Mia Brown, her 10 month old with proper care.      Mrs. Brown is developmentally disabled, with the mind-set of a 14 year old. This hinders her from being able to protect Mia, and to make sure she is safe despite wanting to more than anything.
For this reason Mia was detained and put in foster care.

 Cases like these truly are the heart-breaking ones.
