Survival of the Fittest?

This isn't going to be a long post... I just wanted to share this article.

If you are a survivor, please read with care and caution, as it has a few potential triggers. It speaks of the need, as a society, for us to protect our species by protecting our young from predators... From those that prey upon children for their own gratification. It speaks of how most evolved animals do not tolerate those that kill or ignore their young, but humans, the most evolved of all, do.

The most amazing thing to me? This article was written in 1998, and is STILL relevant today. It should be more outdated... We should be a society that cares for our children better... And we still do not. Incest and child abuse in all it's various forms are still the secrets we keep. They are still the things that, as adults, we are told to just get over. Yet it's true, the damage done by abuse creates damaged adults who often cannot care for their young, or choose not to have any, or worst of all, abuse others. Maybe if we begin to see that this cycle could actually DESTROY OUR SPECIES... Maybe then we'll begin to do a little more about it.
