THE MESSAGE:
Our society believes that bearing and siring offspring is a universal right for all. In my opinion, a child should only be brought into the world by parents who want and intend to produce a child. This may not be a total guarantee that all children will be loved and nurtured; however, it would be a darn sight better than the situation we are faced with today. The problem surrounding unprepared and unwilling mothers and fathers needs to be addressed. Suitable solutions must be found! We rely on schools' Education Systems, Abstinence, the Rhythm method, the controversial solution of Abortion, when it involves non-medical reasons, and the imperfect, ineffective measures of Birth Control, to solve the problem. Is it enough? We can and must do more!
Parents MUST begin to teach children the value and responsibilities of wise parenting, in the home, at an early age. It requires discipline, good example and much unselfish, hard work. This is a mandatory first step that should be followed up in the schools and in the mores of our societies.
A FAILED EXPERIMENT
Eugenics is the application of Darwinian evolution theory to produce better offspring by improving the birthrate of the ‘fit’ and reducing the birthrate of the ‘less fit’.

A FAILED EXPERIMENT
Eugenics is the application of Darwinian evolution theory to produce better offspring by improving the birthrate of the ‘fit’ and reducing the birthrate of the ‘less fit’.
Between 1935 and 1945, 10,000 children were born in Germany and an estimated 9,000 in Norway as part of a Nazi genetic engineering plan to build up an Aryan ‘master-race’ or super-breed of humanity. This scheme was known as the Lebensborn or ‘Fountain of Life’ program. Special clinics were set up where SS men were encouraged to mate with blue-eyed, blonde Nordic girls, who had no Jewish ancestry, in order to produce ‘racially pure’ German offspring. The resultant babies were then brought up in the foster care of dedicated Nazi couples or reared in special orphanages.
There were at least ten Lebensborn homes in HITLER'S Germany, and nine in Nazi-occupied Norway. Unmarried pregnant women could give birth here in secret away from their homes. The babies were christened in a ritual whereby an SS dagger was held over them as the mother swore allegiance to Nazi ideology. If any of the children born into the program were disabled, they were killed or sent off to concentration camps.
Instead of becoming part of the new master race, the children born in the Lebensborn homes suffered greatly after WWII. With the collapse of Nazi Germany, they were regarded as illegitimate babies from a Nazi propagation program. Many lived out their lives in confusion and ostracism. For others, discovering the truth was equally traumatic. In Norway, those born of Norwegian mothers and German soldiers—‘children of the enemy’—faced pitiless discrimination and were often harassed, beaten, and called ‘Nazi swine’.
The Nazi plan was immediately exposed as a cold and brutal experience for all concerned. Eugenics is widely recognized as the ultimate form of discrimination and insensitivity. The folly in such a belief is easily recognized, despised and labelled for what it is: an untenable and selfish solution to the biggest problem of a just society. I am referring to the mistreatment and plight of many of our children at the hands of unfit parents.
UNFIT PARENTS IN THE NEWS, CLOSE TO HOME
2. A North Carolina mom, turned away by The Durham Department of Social Services, resorted to Craigslist and asked if anyone could provide shelter for her children. Social services quickly stepped in to put all five of her children in foster care.
3. A 7-year-old boy, living with his mom and grandparents, ate bugs to stay alive as he wasted away to 20 pounds at a home in Pennsylvania. He was discovered by a woman walking a dog who called police after spotting what she described as, "A living human skeleton, who looked like a Holocaust victim."
5. A Pennsylvania mother of a mentally disabled, 8 year old boy, didn’t know he was dead until she noticed the smell. Kimberly Tutko says her husband waited several days to tell her the boy had died. Police have since charged Jarrod Tutko, 38 and pictured below, with child endangerment, concealing the death of a child and abuse of a corpse.
HORROR IN HELL (AFGHANISTAN)
By the way, my dad is physically abusive with my mom and he beats her up a lot so it's like my mom beats me up coz my dad beats and abuses her. Also, they swear at me like I've killed someone and the beatings I can handle since I'm used to it, but the swearing really hurts me coz I feel so useless and stupid after that.
| 1. Maryland parents kept their 22-year-old autistic twin sons locked at night in a urine-stenched basement. John Land, 57, and Janice Land, 59, kept their boys locked up this way for six years, they admitted. They told police that the room was locked because their sons had often left the house on their own. The twins are nonverbal and can't provide for themselves, the parents added. REALLY? |

4. Six children were found in a cockroach-infested home surrounded by feces and pigs. South Carolina police and staff workers at a Christian camp noticed that Jarrod Wiggins' and Deanna Boubaris' starving children were covered in bug bites. A Wellford police welfare check revealed that the kids were living in a house filled with roaches and trash.

5. A Pennsylvania mother of a mentally disabled, 8 year old boy, didn’t know he was dead until she noticed the smell. Kimberly Tutko says her husband waited several days to tell her the boy had died. Police have since charged Jarrod Tutko, 38 and pictured below, with child endangerment, concealing the death of a child and abuse of a corpse.
The rape took place in the sanctity of a mosque and the accused man was a mullah who invoked the familiar defence that it had been consensual sex.
But the victim was only 10 years old. And there was more: The authorities said her family members openly planned to carry out an honour killing against the young girl. The mullah offered to marry his victim instead.
The horror gets worse. Local policemen removed the girl from the shelter that had given her refuge and returned her to her family, despite complaints from women’s activists that she was likely to be killed.
The case has broader repercussions. Dr. Hassina Sarwari, head of the 'Women for Afghan Women' shelter where the girl eventually took refuge, was driven into hiding by death threats from the girl’s family and other mullahs, who sought to play down the crime by arguing the girl was much older than 10. One militia commander sent Sarwari threatening texts and an ultimatum to return the girl to her family. The doctor said she now wanted to flee Afghanistan.
MORE HORROR, ONE PERSON'S STORY OF ABUSE
"My parents have always been physically abusive- beating me up, slapping me, kicking me and once when I was younger they used to heat an incense stick and press the hot stick onto my hands.
It's always for really stupid reasons, like if I didn't eat my vegetables, if I didn't do my homework, if I sleep for 8 hours a day (my parents believe that 5 hours is the maximum sleep i need since i have to study so much) or if i watch a bit too much t.v.
And I hate it! I'm so angry and I'm so scared of them.
Last night when I really wanted to sleep but I had to study a bit more, my mom beat me up and slapped me and yanked my hair and made me finish studying and then let me sleep.
By the way, my dad is physically abusive with my mom and he beats her up a lot so it's like my mom beats me up coz my dad beats and abuses her. Also, they swear at me like I've killed someone and the beatings I can handle since I'm used to it, but the swearing really hurts me coz I feel so useless and stupid after that.
I don't even know what to say, I've never confessed this to anyone. I cry a lot, I'm severely depressed around my family but around my friends I'm really happy and cheerful and I have severely low confidence coz of them (PARENTS) but I guess I get good grades and am able to go to nyu next year because of them (GRADES).
I've tried to tell them how much they've hurt me and how violence isn't necessary, but they just never listen. I don't know what to do or how to feel because I feel so stripped and raw. So,what should I do about my parents?"
MURDER AT HOME
MURDER # 1
On the evening of October 26, 1997, Susan Dianne Eubanks committed the unthinkable when she shot and killed her four children execution style at her California home.
Brandon, Austin, Brigham, and Matthew were, 14, 7, 6, and 4 at the time of their deaths. She then turned the gun on herself, shooting herself in the stomach. Five days after the murders, Susan was charged with four counts of first degree murder. During her trial there were allegations of child abuse and talk of revenge against her ex-husband prior to the murders. After being convicted of four counts of first degree murder, Susan Eubanks was sentenced to the death penalty. At her sentencing a month later, she said that she loved her children but felt they would be better off dead. She said she killed her boys as a final act of love in an attempted murder-suicide. At the sentencing, she said the factors that influenced her actions included alcoholic parents, depression, and poor mental-health treatment. The judge, however, decided that Eubanks' basic reason and motivation was her deep hatred against her ex-husband.
MURDER # 2
In June of 2001, Andrea Yates shocked the world after systematically murdering her 5 children, aged between six months and seven years, at her suburban home. It has been 12 years since Andrea Yates was first convicted of drowning each of her five children in the bathtub in a Houston suburb. There were endless debates about whether Yates was pure evil or just ill. Her own version has been a combination of both since her first trial in 2002, where Yates' lawyers claimed she believed that the devil was inside her, and that by killing her children she would save them from hell.
Since then, her murder conviction has been overturned, she has been found not guilty by reason of insanity on retrial, and she was placed in a psychiatric hospital.
MURDER #3
Diane Downs was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1984. In the spring of 1983, Diane Downs shot her three children in Oregon, with the intention of killing them all. She concocted a story of an attempted carjacking and went as far as shooting herself in the arm. However, witnesses saw Downs' car as she drove the children to the hospital in an attempt to save them. She was so desperate for help that she drove a mere five miles per hour. On arrival, Cheryl was already dead. Danny was paralyzed and Christie suffered a disabling stroke. Her calm demeanour at the hospital raised red flags, and it all came to a head when Christie, unable to speak, showed fear and an increased heart rate when Downs came to visit her. Forensic evidence didn't support Diane's story, either. She was arrested nine months after the shooting. She confessed later that her children got in the way of her love, since her boyfriend didn't want to share her with them.
MURDER # 4
In 1998, at only 20 years of age, Kenisha Berry committed one of the cruelest crimes of the past few decades. In Jefferson County Texas, she placed duct tape across the body and mouth of her four-day-old son, placed him in a black trash bag, and left his body in a dumpster, resulting in his death. The child, named by concerned neighbors as Baby Hope, was not identified until five years later after another newborn child, Paris, was found abandoned in a ditch during the hot month of June in 2003. The child was covered in hundreds of fire-ant bites, which resulted in her being hospitalized for almost a month due to seizures brought on by the bites. This child survived. In February of 2004, Berry was convicted and sentenced to death for murdering her baby, a decision that was later overturned to a sentence of life imprisonment.
AND IN EUROPE
MURDER # 1
Lianne Smith, a British woman, admitted to having suffocated Rebecca, 5, and 11-month-old Daniel on May 17, 2010 in the Miramar Hotel in Spain after her long-term partner Martin Smith was arrested on child sex offenses. She was found guilty of their “abominable” murders after the jury rejected calls to acquit her on grounds of insanity. What makes her case even worse is that she probably knew that her boyfriend was a pedophile during their relationship, but she didn't mind at all. So, when the charges were raised against her boyfriend, Lianne became obsessed with the idea that her children would be taken into care by UK social services because of the incident, so instead she decided to just murder them!
MURDER # 2
In March of 2013, a German court convicted a woman of manslaughter and sentenced her to JUST nine years in prison for killing five of her newborn babies on different occasions. German authorities officially stated that the 28-year-old woman, whose name cannot be released, was systematically murdering her infants shortly after giving birth to them, either at home or in the woods, and hiding their bodies because she worried about her husband leaving her if she had any more children. This was also the main reason she wouldn't tell anyone about being pregnant, including her husband, who told police that he knew nothing about the pregnancies and was shocked that his wife managed to keep them secret.
DOCTOR JO BARNES OF NEW ZEALAND PRESENTS THE FOLLOWING:
MAIN REASONS WHY FATHERS KILL THEIR CHILDREN:
With fathers, there is a common theme of possessiveness and control. When fathers kill their children, often they have lost a custody battle or are unable to see their children for a variety of reasons. A common one is spite: - If I can't have them, you're not going to have them either.
In one case, a father who killed his children and then committed suicide, wrote a letter to his estranged wife saying he didn't want his children brought up by her because she was a bad mother. Another left a note saying, "I want you to suffer."
In New Zealand, The Social Development Ministry researchers found six of the 15 cases of deliberate filicide between 2002 and 2006 were associated with the parents separating, and all six killers were fathers. Three of the six fathers killed themselves too and one other tried to do so.
In contrast, with mothers, Dr Barnes found that in most cases the mothers' "prime objective" was suicide, but they killed their children as well because they saw their children as almost part of themselves and feared leaving them alone.
One woman who was depressed after her baby suffered brain damage in a car accident wrote to her parents: "I don't feel I am murdering my children but saving them from sorrow and pain without their father ... I have tried very hard, I cannot leave my children behind."
The Social Development Ministry study found that five of the nine New Zealand filicides between 2002 and 2006 that were not due to separation were due to 'major mental health' issues or 'mercy killing'. The other four involved babies or very young infants.
Should a more comprehensive education curriculum that details dating --respect and responsibilities, parenting, and family mechanics, be taught to ALL teenagers?
THE QUOTE:
“God's creatures who cried themselves to sleep stirred to cry again.” ― THOMAS HARRIS, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS
LAURELS TO:
Dr Jo Barnes (died of lung cancer, in 2009) who investigated 24 cases where parents deliberately killing their own children and then themselves in Australia between 1973 and 1992. Twelve killers were fathers and 12 were mothers.
