I was talking about the state of affairs for children in general w/a colleague the other day, remarking how it was commonplace, when I was growing up, to find a kid miles away from home on a bike by himself and no one thought anything of it- no one tried to take the kid, the kid didn't end up missing - and the parents weren't beating their breasts at the 'loss' of their child because they were out playing.
Nowadays? If I can't see my kids- they're in danger. That's it. Nevermind that they are 20 and 16 and smart enough to look after themselves, as far as I'm concerned, they're still my little girls and I would level an entire country, hell, the world, if I thought it would contribute to their safety.
I don't have any words for a man such as this...he will get his just desserts, I pray for it. And for the baby.
In a way, I wish you had not shared it but understand why you did.
