Unfortunately while on patrol all of us run across kids who have parents that could care less about them. I can't count the number of times I have driven through trailer parks and see really young kids out on bikes, filthy, no shoes, a defeated look on their young faces and with an apparent lack of supervision.
When I see these kids it kills me. I wonder if their parents really care for them. If their dads play with with them and raise them or do those awesome father son things.
The problem I am having is everytime I see these kids I put my sons face on them and it ruins my day. I think of how horrible it would be if someone were to treat my boy like they treat their own kids and the thought is devastating.
I guess the point is I am wondering if I am losing my freaking mind. I try not to dwell on such things but I guess it is inevitable.
