I understand the illegal alien point of it and most definitely agree that needs to be stressed but the “idiot/evil mother” and the “evil boyfriend” side of it needs to be emphasized too. I was doing a Google News search a few moments ago and came across story after story about babies, toddlers, and older kids being abused and/or killed by the mom’s boyfriend. These are just a few of the stories that I came across tonight—recent stories that have made the news. If I dug further I’m sure I could find more. This kind of thing happens DAY AFTER DAY!

Your post sounds like the show on “ANIMAL PLANET” a few nights ago. The old male leader of a pride of lions was ousted. The new male systematically killed all cubs in the pride.. Sound familiar???
You’re absolutely on target. And you said it better than I did.

This is so sad. I’ve read that children are most at risk from live-in boyfriends. White, American males do this too. And some perpetrators are the actual fathers. Terrible.
