April was “Child Abuse Prevention Month.” Local papers printed weeping editorials (by Joan Reynolds and Nicole McKay) about the 4-year-old in the Hernandez case. Their editorials did more to cause child abuse than prevent it.
Reynolds and McKay didn”t write about the child abuse of Bruce Emerson Wells. He was abused in a way that is a lot more common and tragic. He made front page news, recently, as the intoxicated 17-year-old charged with stabbing Samuel Shull to death in Clearlake. Wells was charged with crimes. Nobody knows about his abuse.
Seventeen-year-olds don”t become convicts overnight. To say they”re born felons is a rotten way to justify abuse by libertine communities that abuse them. How do people like Wells become hard-boiled criminals? Where do they get hearts so cold they stab men to death? Why are they drunk and at strangers” houses at 11:23 p.m.? Editorialists would do better to tell people about the abuse of such kids.
“Wellses” are abused over long periods of time by whole neighborhoods who practice the new Godless religion of liberalism and reject the child-rearing values of their forefathers. Psychologists, hippie school board members, foolish parents, pathetic politicians and even school teachers follow their litany of lunacy.
Stampeding to be secular, they scorn the Creator of children. Woodsheds behind principals” offices are torn down and replaced with thousands of child psychologists who claim they can reason with unruly kids. Then, like silly geese, “modern” child abusers wonder why they build so many prisons.
Maltreatment of these kids is well documented in files at schools they attend. Problem kids are allowed to grow worse. Folders grow fatter and fuller until new case-hardened criminals are produced every year. Neighbors like Shull suffer unspeakable injuries before the lawbreakers are caught.
