| ...no worries. But frankly, what is there to discuss. I don't have kids but sometimes I believe that parents make things harder than they seem. You can say that Billy had an accident...or Billy's father was a very bad man and that he did something very very bad to Billy...he then eventually will understand what happened. I don't favour this over dramatization of such an event as for a 6 year old, this may all be confusing and brining a friggin psychologist to a place will only underline a kids impression of something unusual that happened. Please don't get me wrong, I don't find this heartless atrocitiy in a way harmless...but a simple explanation should be sufficient to a 6 year old. I mean, think of all the war victims in Sierra Leone who had to witness their parents getting their limbs chopped off and here we worry on how to break down a dramatic event that none of the kids had to witness in the first place. | |

Nice reasoning . . . because something terrible has happened somewhere else you shouldn't worry about something less terrible happening nearby? You've been very concerned with parental responsibility in this thread, going so far as to say people should be sterilised until they can demonstrate the potential for it. The OP asks a question about responsible parenting and caring for her child and your response is, "whatever, it's nothing compared to Sierre Leone".
