Me neither. The one person a child should be able to trust wholeheartedly is the very one betraying that holy trust.
Stories like this distress me. How could a parent, mother or father, sacrifice their children for a temporary convenience. The more I see this attitude, the more I fear our society is doomed.
My god, who should a child appeal to for protection, if not their mother. I think of those poor kids dying slowly in that car, suffering greatly, and the person who is supposed to be willing to die to protect them was getting her hair done. These stories really depress the sh*t out of me.
