A Child Has Rights!

He was born the 8th of January 2019 to just a woman. Just a female of the species.  Songs are written for mothers, poems, there is a Mother's Day, but not for this woman. I think of her a mass murderer, giving birth to babies that will never lead a normal life. Her entire 9 months of pregnancy went by without one doctors appointment, one medical check-up, but she choose to do weed, heroine, Tik....those are the drugs we know she consumed. During her pregnancy. Not one medical check-up, not one doctors appointment, this mother did not even know her due date. The father of the child spends his time hustling for drugs, they have sold everything. They have nothing left, they live with his parents and both are in their seventies. These two old folks love nothing more than to visit the neighborhood discussing their son's drug habits and the pregnancy of the woman with whom he shares his bed.  Shamelessly, they sat in my house, telling us about this young woman, aged 26, pregnant and they were sure the baby was not even their son's baby.  It's incredible. Woman who have had nothing to do with this baby, have shed tears for him, yet his own mother choose to do drugs instead of choosing her son. 
       I was about to delete this, the words are not coming out right and very few will understand or comprehend, mothers will get this and maybe some dads, but that there are people out there that don't know love.  Everyone who I have talked too has expressed sincere love and concern for this baby, but not his own mother! I don't understand. I hope I never understand. The moment you know you have life living within you, everything about you goes out of the window! That's a life inside of you! You going to give birth to a human being with a heart, mind and body and you had better be prepared to be the best mother, you give that baby your full one hundred percent or you have an abortion, but you cannot carry life inside you and then not give a damn. The plot thickens as this is this woman's second baby, the first boy, Roland was removed from her care and today baby "Barito" was removed from her care for a period not exceeding 30 days. During these 30 days social workers are to do spot checks on the home, both parents are to attend counselling and the mother declined Rehab. The grandmother stood beside her son and his girlfriend and before a magistrate in the law offices of Port Alfred lied under oath! They stood there and they lied. Little "Barito" due to the way he is wrapped, has been removed from foster care and taken to a government facility where he will stay until his parents can get their act together. What no one gives a damn about is the fact that this woman can so easily fall pregnant again. She has refused medication preventing lactation, it's a matter of time before she is pregnant once again and another baby is born into a world with a hopeless case of a mother. Not the Magistrate, social worker or many of the friends I have spoken with share my concern and I don't get it. We will force pet lovers to sterilize their pets, but we will stand back and allow babies to be born when prevention is at hand! This child has a right to expect a certain quality of life. Being born into an economically challenged home is tough enough, but when you are born with an illness caused by your mother's reckless irresponsible behavior, we must speak up and speak out.
       Vasectomy for the 46 year old father whom point blank refuses to get a job, he wants to sit unemployed and smoke weed all day. This is his choice, but why should his child suffer. Do drugs and fuck like rabbits, no problem, get a vasectomy! Do drugs and fuck like rabbits, no problem have yourself sterilized! The child has rights! breastfeeding poison into a child should be a crime. We need better laws, we need parents that will stand up and stop turning a blind eye. My friend stood up for this little boy, she gave the mother and baby a ride from the hospital because the father had no means of transport. She got on her group chat and she found baby clothes and supplies, she spoke kindly and counselled both parents and after two weeks, my friend was collected from her home by the grandparents of this baby. Why? The mother of the baby had left a pot on the stove, forgotten oil in the pot left to heat and everyone awoke to a home filled with smoke and chaos.  My best friend's niece came to help her look after the baby boy as he was removed from the care of his parents and placed into the care of my friend.  Thirty years is a long time between diaper changes and a lot has changed! The niece returned home Sunday night sobbing, she said, her heart is broken and how could she fall in live in two days with baby? Babies will do this. It's an instant love. It's protective and primal, but I am seeing everyone love this little guy except his mom and I have to wonder  at the age of 26, what has happened to the mother of this baby, because she doesn't give a damn. She is getting high tonight! So what do you do when you have a 46 year old man who refuses to take responsibility for his actions, (he told everyone the baby was not his!) The man you are sleeping next to, holding and making love to is telling complete strangers that you are carrying someone else's child and that doesn't bother you?  A twenty six year old woman who is determined to breastfeed regardless of the drugs in her system. They going to breed again and she can reproduce for years. Who will feed, clothe and love those children? There are currently more than 3 million children looking for homes in South Africa. One of the cases the welfare is working is a child who had her face eaten by a rat! But who gives a shit? No one! We all preoccupied, we all busy living our lives, we all enjoying ourselves because it;'s later than we think! 
Getting involved will break your heart, but a broken heart is better than watching a life being destroyed! You may be alone when you speak up or speak out, but we can not turn a blind eye to pain and misery! A Child has rights!

Our World 2018....WE ARE NOT OUR CIRCUMSTANCES!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzVFyVNgtsc Our World in 2018: DISTURBING VIDEO! A look at suicides, how we are all finding our own solutions to the craziness of this world, the insanity! The Bible speaks of times when we will kill ourselves and wish for death! It's not difficult to find a reason to die........the challenge is finding a reason to feel alive! If we know not Love we know nothing! Jeremy Potter 1 day ago The wretchedness inside of me, Silence these venomous voices, rise from the pain. Dragging me down, unrighteous choices, Am I insane. Hearts turned to black, Will He bring me back, Fallen from glory, Please change the story, A master of sin, I have forsaken again, Come light the way, To a Glorious day, Glory, Glory, Hallelujah, The wretchedness inside of me, He came on this day, to show us the way, Behold the Hand, Hearts once soft have turned to stone, Behold the nail, They left our King to die alone, My Father turned His Face away,

South Africa......You Are Either For God or Against Him.....

There is a magic that is happening to you and me every day of our lives, we see and we want and we buy! Now imagine for a second you walk into a jewelry store and you purchase for the love of your life the most beautiful ring in the store! Then you open your front door to the police and find out you are under arrest for having stolen that most beautiful ring! You are now a thief! Armed with the receipt, you struggle to explain your situation, but you are tossed into jail, branded a criminal, and the jewelry store gets the ring and the money you paid for it! This just cannot be right! Against the law, how can this be? An entire nation is asking themselves this question and have been asking this question for years! We all thought South Africa would be destroyed by President Nelson Mandela, but how he proved the world wrong, and how they hate him for it! No Black man will ever hold the honor and sainthood that Nelson Mandela earned and deserves! It's not me who is saying this, this t
