  1. God forbid!
    I hate seeing, hearing or even reading anything that has to with the molesting/abandonment/maltreatment of a child.
    I don't even open the posts because I worry it will be too traumatic for me to look at…..
    I opened this very cautiously, thank God the child was rescued.
    It is well.
