My Controversial Post that Offends Those in Support of Child Torture


I posted something to a Facebook group I'm a part of. They removed it. Apparently it would have been offensive to people who support child torture. And pointing out that they did that got shut down as well. I was accused of creating drama. And when I posted a link to an article about this subject I was told it would be shut down as well. So I removed it myself. They're allowed to do that since it's a private group. You do get to decide what gets posted in your Facebook group. But no one can control what I post to my blog. Good thing I wrote it in my word program and pasted it so it wasn't lost. So here it is. Note - it was a response to someone telling me that I shouldn't call people monsters and that I don't know what's in their heads. I couldn't respond because the thread was shut down. It was about the policy of putting immigrant children in prison. ***** I called people who supported someone who tortured children, monsters. I'm not presuming to know what is in their heads. I don't care what's in their heads. It looks like oatmeal to me but it could be other things. I'm basing my monster name on their actions. They are behaving like monsters. And if you point it out to them they justify their behavior instead of correcting it. Therefore they are monsters. They may not physically go to these children and torture them, but they cheer on and support those that do. They worship the leader doing it. And I don't care why he does it. Whether it's because he gets glee from it, or he's doing it for political purposes, or to show parents "see this is what I'll do to your children if you come here", or because he wants to be remembered in history. I don't care. Innocent children are suffering. The excuse that “they are illegal” doesn’t cut it. Because innocent children are suffering. And the “their parents are criminals” is not a reason. Their parents aren’t. But even if they were, you don’t punish children for what their parents did. If you have a serial killer and you put him on death row, you don’t execute his children too. People are supposed to be held accountable for their own misdeeds. Not someone else’s. And certainly not innocent children who have no choice. And saying “well, send them back,” is equivalent to saying “go back and die.” These parents didn’t trudge huge distances with their children in arms because they were looking for a change of scenery. They came because they were desperate. Bad stuff is going on at home. They no longer have homes. And the idea that these people should have just abandoned their children to war, or drug gangs, or sex slavery and come on their own is ludicrous. Why are people telling parents to abandon their children? That they are bad parents for rescuing their kids and attempting to bring them to a safe place? A child who is being tortured will never be comforted by being a pawn in a political game. These children are already suffering from PTSD afflicted by the American government, even when they are put in safe homes. Because those people are telling them that their parents didn’t want them. Yeah, that’s happening. And making up the excuse that you are rescuing children from slave traffickers and then putting those children in prisons where they are starved, raped, and denied basic necessities and affection, then you are not rescuing them! So let’s stop coming up with excuses to torture children. Because it doesn’t matter what the excuses or reasons are. It doesn’t matter that someone has more money in their pocket at the end of the day. If putting more money in your pocket means you are torturing children, or support those who are torturing children, then you are a monster and you hate children. Now I’m not talking about not liking children. Or being neutral about children. Torturing children is hate. If you support the torture of children, then you hate them. Even if you don’t view them as children and just see them as little brown parasites. You hate children. You may tuck your children in bed at night and read lovely stories to your grandchildren, and bake them chocolate chip cookies in heart shapes, but if you support the torture of someone else’s children, you are a monster who hates children. No amount of money in your pocket, no “but the economy is so much better” reason, makes this okay. A Trump supporter is a monster who hates children. He has pointedly and purposely chosen to torture children. This isn't the fall out of war. Or because a country decided not to send money to another country. This is a deliberate decision to hurt innocent children.

It doesn’t matter what the reasons are. There are children who have been separated by loving families who are trying to rescue them. And they are sleeping on the ground, behind bars, without basic necessities, hungry, and crying and alone while being surrounded by other suffering children. And no reasons makes it better for them. NOTHING makes this okay or justifies it. No child is lying there in misery thinking "I'm willing to do this so John Smith can order dessert with his meal at his local restaurant." Sacrificing children for a better economy is evil and monstrous. Sacrificing children to make a political statement is monstrous. Sacrificing children to force the other party to do what you want is monstrous. There would be a bigger outrage if this were happening to dogs. Monsters. Monsters. Monsters. **** Here is the link to the article I posted that was objected to. Kids Describe In Their Own Words The Dire Conditions Inside A Border Detention Center And here's a link to another article. Migrant children's drawings depict 'horrific' conditions in cages
