Innocence and Evil

They just found the body of a boy they believe to be the missing 4 yr old from Patterson.
News stories like this one always bothered me, but now that I'm a mom, it literally drives me to tears.
Why would anyone be evil enough to take the life of an innocent child?
Was the guy trying to get revenge on the kid's mom?
Why do psychos think that hurting a child would bring about a positive outcome?

Every single day, stories like this one break my heart.  There's the one where a baby was crying too loudly while his dad was playing video games so the dad grabs the baby's arm, breaks it, and shakes the kid so hard he dies. Last weekend, a mom shot her teenage son and daughter because they were being "mouthy" to her.  Now, this sweet boy is gone and his 8-month pregnant mom has to live with the fact that her unborn baby daddy took her son away.  With all this evil against children, I pray their families find comfort in their unbelievable grief.

I know a special baby boy who will get extra hugs and kisses tonight.  Please do the same to your own children.
