Know what I really hate? People who victimize children. This happens far more than it should – because once would be too often – and often occurs when couples are divorcing or separating. The children become innocent pawns in the power struggle between two warring parties. It can get ugly. How ugly? We’re just a few days shy of the 8th anniversary of the North Augusta deaths of Gunner and Ryker, ages 7 and 4, the children of Martinez salon owner Karyn Grace. Her ex-husband murdered the two boys to protest the custody arrangement he disagreed with. He then killed himself.
Over the weekend in Manhattan, another man threw his 3-year-old son off the roof of a 52-story apartment building, then jumped to his own death seconds later. These are generally not sad men who cherish their children and are distraught over lost custody battles. They are instead so venomously angry at their ex-wives or girlfriends that they will murder for the sole purpose of hurting the mother. What kind of animal murders his own children?
These are the same sick cavemen who kill any girlfriend (or wife) who would dare leave them. The old, “If I can’t have you no one can” mentality. How pathetic. How vile.
