Okay, This is where I draw the line. I do not like the implication that I don't understand the stresses of parenting, or that I should feel sympathy for these parents. I may not have children of my own flesh, but this is my work and this is something I am intimiately familar with. This is not a situation where a parent snapped and did a horrible but regrettable thing because they were in an overwhelming spot. This is not something accidental. This was systematic, deliberate, long term cruelty and neglect. This is behavior that is subhuman and is not something worthy of empathy or sympathy.
