First dates, a TV program

Nice, handsome Ben, who years ago suffered a life changing motor-bike accident,that left him severely brain-damaged,with all my heart I hope the lovely Charlotte is the one for you. Would you have remained the same decent,likeable human being that you are now, had your life taken you in a different direction ever he past 12 years? Would you have become a gang member and stick a knife into another boy without a flicker of a remorse,would you have burnt a helpless child with a cigarette, would robbing an older person to feed drug addiction have been on daily agenda? Feral monsters are being churned out from families, as if it was the order of the day. Little Ayeesha,her tiny body tramped on by her own mother so hard, her heart was ripped off. What this innocent mite must have gone through in her short life, is for any decent person unbearable to even contemplate. Own mother. The boyfriend did not stop this cruelty. Very likely he had participated. There was no-one to protect the baby. Where was her own father, her grand-parents,the doctors she should have been taken to as an infant for inoculation,for check-ups,the social services she should have been referred to by these professionals, who must have seen the child with cuts and bruises. No-one cared. Social services. Whom is it they serve? Little Polish boy Pelka starved to death.Starved to death.Looking through bins for scraps of food other children discarded. And the teachers believed mother, that the boy was suffering from an illness, making him eat and eat,when his emaciated little body was hungry day in day out.Going to sleep hungry in a damp cold cupboard under the stairs,waking up hungry. Teachers. Not one of them cared enough,or had the common sense to realize, that something was so desperately wrong. Life has come to mean so very little in this country.
