Being a parent can be a very rewarding experience, but it can also be quite challenging, especially for both first time parents, and parents of multiple children alike.  

Conversely, not everyone is cut out to be a parent, the hard cold truth is that there are some people who have no business having children and in same cases, have no businesses being anywhere near children.

No matter if you are someone who has children, doesn't  have children, or someone who doesn't even like children, I think we can all agree that children deserve to be treated with love, respect, and their well-being should be at the forefront of their parent's or guardian's concern.

A distressing incident unfolded in Craighead County when a 7-year-old boy was found walking alone, miles from home. A concerned citizen alerted authorities after the child, attempting to reach Valley View School, appeared at his farm shop on Craighead Road 457.

The boy explained that he had missed the school bus that morning and was afraid of getting in trouble. She also didn't feed him the night before and expected him to get up, get ready, and get to school on his own.

The young mild-mannered boy was clearly afraid to miss school as well as opening up to the officer about what was going on his home life, stating that he was sent to bed without dinner, and had not eaten breakfast that morning either.

Law enforcement and Child Protective Services made quick work of getting to his mother's house, where 2 other small children were also present.  She was arrested and Child Services took the boys in the mean time.
