Our Children's Headlines... Baby Found Dead;

Molester Murders Child; Parent Murders Their Children; Girls on Steriods...

K L Marsala

Scanning your headline news the topic of our children plays profoundly upon the pages. It would seem that the days of reading heartwarming stories of “The Tigers Little League Team” overcoming the odds and winning their division finals has disappeared from news sources across our nation. Is it possible that we no longer can witness the sense of pride in our young people’s accomplishments, because our media and our nation no longer aspire to shine happiness and good tidings about today’s youth? Or is it because the adults who direct have failed to help our youth have any positive stories written about them? Perhaps it is a combination of the two.

On any given day, in any newspaper or news site you will locate topics that reveal a nation who has a very troubled population of young people. What have we done to perpetuate this atrocious picture of our youth? What have we done as the leaders and supposed adults to have headlines state, “Child Found Strangled, Suspect Recently Released Child Molester” or “It’s Prom Night Birth, Baby Found Dead in Girls Restroom.” What is happening to our youth?

In the last few days, I have tracked numerous news sources. Here is just a few I found: children murdered by parent, increased steroid usage by American girls, girlfriend forced by boyfriends parents to have an abortion, children have obesity problem, young girls are obsessed with being model thin, teens increasingly feel the need to bring weapons to school for protection, and the list goes on. Why does the world of innocence appear to have been turned upside down?

Children gain knowledge and follow by example. We as adults have been setting very pitiful examples. We have laws that govern each state, rules that have been established to protect the innocent, but we have elected judges, who play the role of judicial god, not upholding the laws of protection. Thusly, our children have been laid out as sacrifices to be preyed upon by child molesters. These sick-minded molesters are not being held accountable nor are they being prosecuted fully for the evil deeds they have committed. Adults that touch children inappropriately should never be allowed near a child again (I believe anyone who hurts a child should be locked away forever). If the laws of our land cannot protect the children from these hideous monsters, we have truly become a people who do not deserve the blessings of our youth.

Abortion activist's like to fight for a woman’s right to choose. To choose what- killing their own child or not killing their own child? All under the guise of, “Abortions should be rare…” (If it is a constitutional right, I have to ask, why should it be rare?) The denigration once again can be seen and felt by our youth. When adults do not value human life from the moment of conception, then why would we expect a young person to be inconvenienced by their child? Becoming mind numbed to the event of giving birth and throwing a newborn in the garbage can is how we are teaching that life isn’t valuable…its expendable. The youth have been left so unprotected by the responsible adults, that they can obtain an abortion without parental consent (the only exception for non-parental notification should be in cases of parental abuse). Please hear this- our daughters under the age of 18 can obtain full rights to kill her child without parental involvement or knowledge, but she has to have parental authorization to get her ears pierced until she reaches the age of 18. What has this taught our youth? A baby human is an inconvenience, so you can make an adult decision, but your ear lobs belong to mom and dad so you cannot poke a hole through them by your own free choice until you turn 18. Think about that.


A parent killing their own flesh and blood in the name of depression or fights over custody battles is disgusting and sick. If you are suffering from depression get some help, take a flippin pill would you? Do not drown your children, for the love of all that is good. If you are the mate of a depressed person, get them aid. Do not be so proud to let the demonic plague of depression reach a point that innocent blood lays dripping from your own hands. If you are in the middle of a custody battle, your children are not pawns in the game you have decided to play with your ex-spouse. They are individuals with rights, and due process to live their lives fully protected from the insanity of those who use their anger at their spouses to kill their own children. Our youth is watching our behavior and our interactions as adults. What are your children seeing and hearing?


The American love affair with fatty foods, lack of exercise and steroid usage seem to all correlate with one another. Adults anytime day or night can be overheard saying, “I weigh too much, I need to start dieting” then we will reach for a bag of chips, two cookies and a diet coke. We will proclaim in front of our families that we want to start exercising and go to the gym that we paid for six months ago, and then we will go and sit our fat butts down in our recliners.

Parents reveal to their children that binge and purge is the only way to become the waif fairing model that graces the cover of Cosmo. Children’s daddies gaze too long upon pictures of big-breasted women, with tiny waists and shapely rounded buttocks. American mommies in order to regain their youthful bodies (and grasp the gaze of their mates or their potential one-night stands) pay “Dr. Make Me Feel Twenty Again” several thousand dollars to inject, cut, stitch, and remove unwanted crap from their aging bodies. Old age is no longer held in honor and obsession with stereotypes prevails.

Our adult sports figures cannot seem to leave well enough alone either. The mad drive to push ourselves beyond our human limits has driven many sports figures into the darkened realm of drug usage. Steroids are the entire cure all to build false muscle and bulk…all for the love of the game. What game are we playing as adults, not only with ourselves but with our children as well? Who is to be the example to our children of tomorrow? Is it about the sport, or is it about how to abuse our bodies so we can smear the other team and take the trophy? Lives have been lost due to steroid usage, what trophy is there in that?

Lastly, why is it our children do not feel safe at school or possibly anywhere anymore? We have taken a brief scan of what we as adults are doing as we contribute to the insecurities of our youth, but what is causing them not to feel safe within the confines of their learning institutions, homes and public places?

Could it be a culmination of all the above that makes them feel scared? When the leaders of the insane asylum cannot control their own emotions, desires, and bodies what is the emotional feeling left to those who live in the containment center of the asylum. Have we left our children only angst? Are we offering rational thinking skills to be followed? Are we showing compassion? Are we demonstrating respect for all? Have we as the adults illustrated that we are capable of leading and offering a safe haven for our youth to grow up in? What have we exemplified?

The adults need to stop the nonsense. We are not the children, we are the leaders and framers of tomorrow’s youth. Our world depends on our ability to reign in the stupidity and hypocrisies we have been so freely demonstrating. Our children of today and tomorrow deserve our best, not our left overs, not our selfishness and not our inane phobias of dealing improperly with the reasoning powers of our own bodies and life’s dilemmas.

Adults must stop the confusion, our children are sitting in a pool of bewildered insensible muck, and many of our youth, if you look at today’s headlines, are paying the ultimate price for our idiocy- they are paying with their lives.
