Missing children…we hear
of this more so often nowadays. Whether is kidnapping, child trafficking, we
question how and why it does happen. Our children are hopes of our future, the
lifeline of many parents and they are also the constant reminders as to how
beautiful our world is through their eyes.
A child’s innocence can
easily be robbed in the blink of an eye. As adults and parents, we do our best
to protect the innocence for as long as we can, because we know this purity
will be contaminated in the process, more so when untoward incidence happens.
Recently, we just had
another case of a missing child. Yes, perhaps the parents were wrong in leaving
their kids alone in the car, but this is really not the time to point fingers
at anyone. Losing the child is already a punishment heavy enough for any parents
to bear.
No parent should have to
go through the pain of losing their child. It is a pain that no word can ever,
ever described.
I can only pray for the
safe return of this child to their family. Wherever he may be now, I believe God has his eyes on him and pray for strength that the parents shall not lose
hope.
