I’m out of the loop

I don’t watch the news anymore.  This is not by choice.  When I am in the car I usually have CD’s going.  And unfortunately for me they are not my CD’s.  If Maks is in the car, it is the Little People Farm CD.  If Stinky is in the car it is one or many Kids Bop CD’s.  At home I don’t get to see the news because I would rather have Maks watch the Disney channel as I make dinner than have him watch the news.  Most of the time I don’t really miss watching or hearing the news.  I am usually pretty much up to speed thanks to the internet.  So I know about the latest mesothelioma updates, politics and all that good stuff.

But there are days like today when I wish I had some access to a TV or newspaper.  Beanz just told me about 2 little girls that were sexually assaulted at their daycare.  They were assaulted by a co-op student working there.  And that isn’t the part that disturbed me the most.  It was the fact that all this happened in April and they didn’t tell the parents until now.  Stories like this make me sick.  I have a twisted feeling in my stomach.  I feel for the girls, I feel for their parents and I feel for the other students and parents at the daycare.  It’s scary.  I can admit it. 

I am scared.  I leave my son’s wellbeing in the hands of strangers for almost 10 hours a day.  They don’t love him.  The daycare is just their job and they could hate it.  I hope everyday that he is treated with care and respect.  I hope that they take care of him the way that they would look after their own kids.  But there are no guarantees and that scares me.
