What is wrong, America?<\/strong> You think your children can play safe at the park, right outside their homes. You think your sons and daughters – on break from school – can do what children are expected to do: play, not having to worry about life.<\/p>\n

But God-damn it. A little girl takes off to do just that, enjoy her day – just like any other day in her short life of eight years – and she’s terminated, killed, murdered – by a person of trust, no less.<\/p>\n

Sandra Cantu<\/strong> is not the first child to be murdered by the hands of a sick adult who plays God and ends their lifeline. Unfortunately, it’s only the most recent such incident that makes national news. For almost every child that walks outside to play there is a sick mind that lurks, preying on their natural innocence and trust.<\/p>\n

Melissa Huckaby<\/strong> is a Sunday school teacher, a person that was entrusted by her church to guide, educate and entertain little children, to shape their lives in ways that would benefit them way into adulthood. She is also a mother, her daughter was a playmate of Sandra’s. So she killed Sandra, stuffed her body in a luggage bag – then tossed the luggage into a lake.<\/p>\n

What’s wrong America?<\/strong> Has our society strayed away from the ways that separate right from wrong? Have humans become so desensitized, that death becomes trivial and murder is another natural cause of death?<\/p>\n

In the heart of Christianity’s celebration of Easter, one cannot but pause and ponder – what is the purpose of the sacrifice of Jesus and why has the true meaning of Easter been diluted by imagery of “Easter” bunnies and egg hunting. The Son of God dying on the cross, among thieves and murderers and forgiving those who spat and beat him, seeking forgiveness for their sins – that’s what Easter is about.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But can we forgive the murderer of an eight year old girl that harmed no-one? That’s up to the parents to say. I know I wouldn’t.<\/p>\n
