One of the many things we learn rather quickly about life, as we grow from childhood to puberty to full adulthood, is that the bad things that happen in life do not happen just at certain times of the year, but can and do happen on any given day of the year. But regardless of your age, it still brings everyone down when bad things happen either close to or during the holiday season. Such is the case with three little boys - Andrew Skelton, age 9, Alexander Skelton, age 7 and Tanner Skelton, age 5, all of Morenci, Michigan, who are missing. These three little boys have been missing since the day after Thanksgiving and though the authorities and volunteers have been searching for them everywhere from their hometown to as far south as the Toledo, Ohio area, they havent been able to find them. Their father, John Skelton, age 39, who originally claimed to have been suicidal and allegedly gave the the three boys away to some unknown woman before he attempted to hang himself, has been arrested by the FBI on kidnapping charges. He denies harming his three children but given his history of mental illness and other factors which the authorities are not releasing to the public just yet, they say it doesnt look like there will be a positive outcome regarding the welfare of the children, that all three boys most likely are not alive.
I cannot put into words how deeply enraged and angry I am over all this. The authorities are calling off the search for the three boys at the end of today and then allegedly plan to regroup their search strategies by this Monday, though volunteers are going to continue to search for the three boys throughout the weekend. Due to manpower and, of course, funding, I realize that realistically speaking, the search parties, both authority-sponsored and volunteer can only do so much but goddamn it, if those three boys were mine, not only would I be out searching for them left-n-right through all hours of the night, but I'd be raising holy hell in enforcing the search for them as well. My God, it's so goddamn cold these days and those three little boys need food, shelter and warmth like every child on a cold winter's day-n-night needs. I truly wish there was something more I could do than keep abreast of any news updates, sending them good thoughts and praying that they find them.
Now you all know that I've written on issues of child abuse and parents murdering their children before, so my writing about these three missing boys will be of no surprise to anyone; however, I've said it before and I will say it again - I will never be able to understand, nor accept, the totally insane, irrational and inhumane reasonings that mentally unstable parents claim are their justifiable explanations for harming their very own children. There are no justifiable explanations for murdering your children! It is sick, it is wrong and parents who commit these crimes should not be allowed to get away with it! Dont get me wrong, I am praying with all my might that those three little boys are found safe-n-sound, without one hair on their heads even harmed, but as long as they have been gone, it does make someone as far removed from the situation as I am think the same exact way the FBI and other authorities think - given the father's mental health issues, it simply does not look good. If that is indeed the case, that John Skelton is responsible for the murder of his three children, then I have something to say about him and every single parent out there who is exactly like him.
Damn you to hell, Goddamn you to hell John Skelton and every other fucken homicidal maniac out there who is exactly like you straight to hell! How dare you or any human being on this entire planet even consider harming your children in any way, shape or form. Who the fuck do you and people like you think they are? Children are to be cared for in every way, shape and form - they are to be clothed properly, they are to be fed properly and most of all, they are to be loved and take care of properly. Children depend on their parents to keep them safe and to protect them at all costs. Can anyone out there even fathom the sheer horror and terror any child must feel when their very own parents, the people who are suppose to sacrifice everything in the world to ensure and preserve their safety and welfare, turns on them like some fucken rabid dog and destroys them? There is no justification for such mentally twisted behavior, there is no rational logic to it - it is sick, it is insane, it is un-human and most of all, it is inexcusable.
And what will always always make me so infuriated regarding all of this is for those of us out there who would do anything in the world to have our very own children, who simply love children with all our hearts-n-souls, but for whatever reason cannot have them. What about us? What about those of us who if we had it in our power, woulda do anything to have our own children? You sick twisted monsters out there who claim to be parents who cant handle or deal with their children, when you have even the slightest twinge of such irrational, mentally disturbing feelings, you need to pack up your kids and proceed as quickly as you can to your local social services organization or your local police department, escort your children into the building and say to whoever is in charge at the time "Hey, I'm a sicko and I think I am a danger to my own children, please take them away from me now before I harm them." That's EXACTLY what you extremely poor excuses for human beings need to do - if you cant fucken handle it, then hand your children over to people who can and who will. Dont do like fucked-up-Parent-of-the-Year John Skelton allegedly did and hand them over to some unknown person, hand them over to the proper authorities.
You guessed it state of Michigan, now I'm gonna take you to task. What the fuck is wrong with you people??? What is this goddamn fucken bullshit that when you parents of Michigan cant handle raising your own children that you automatically have the God-given right to murder them??? Yes, I do realize that these kinds of crimes take place all over this land of ours but I'd like to know, who the hell said that it's perfectly acceptable behavior for Michigan parents to destroy their children whenever they goddamn please??? I mean, what the fuck?? Is that why you Michigan people even reproduce in the first place? Because you feel you have the sovreign right to approach parenthood with the mentally ill attitude that "Oh well, we're in Michigan, so if we can't raise our children properly, we can always kill them, no big deal, nope not at all, you know, we have that right." You sick, unimaginable bastards. I've never even once thought that the concept of mass sterilization was even something of rational, logical human reasoning but in the last several days, I have definitely rethought my stance on that subject. Damn the entire state for a mere few? A mere few? Everyone out there better start Googling the state of Michigan and it's percentage rates of infantcide, child murders and the like - trust me, that state has the market cornered on such inhuman, dastardly acts. It disgusts me beyond anything else on this planet.
I do love kids, I think each and every one of them are fantastic; but, when I hear of parents or any adults harming or murdering children, it makes me livid, just livid. You know, I've never really said this before, but let me tell you right now how much I truly love kids. But before I even write it, I already know that I'm most likely alone on this stance but fuck it, I'm not backing down on this one. I love children so much that IF they found a cure for AIDS this very moment, I would NOT be the first person in line for the cure like all my contemporaries would be. I, HivSpice, and I, the individual behind HivSpice, would NOT be innoculated with any cure UNTIL AFTER every single child in this country, in this world, on this entire planet was given the vaccine FIRST. I'm serious, I mean that with all my heart--n-soul. Why? Because let's call a spade a spade here for once and for all - children havent had the chance to grow and live their lives like we adults have. They deserve that right just as we all have. Yes, I do realize and accept that all life is precious, regardless of one's age; however, I would NOT step ahead of the line of someone who has never ever really had the chance to experience life. And you wanna know something? The majority of you out there reading this piece this very moment know that what I am saying is the truth. I'm 45 years old and yeah, I wanna live for as long as I possibly can, but in the AIDS cure scenario, if you think I'm gonna step ahead of a 7 year old who's never really had the opportunity to live life, sorry, but you're not only mistaken, you're extremely whacked in the head. I've lived with this damned disease for 21 years now, I can live with it even longer if it means saving and preserving someone else's life.
And now, you finally know (if you havent figured it out already) why I am so damned concerned for the safety and welfare of every child out there on this huge planet of ours. I dont care how old any of us are, we've at least had the chance to live life, young children such as the Skelton children and every child like them hasnt even had the chance to grow up. We're not born or brought into this world just for the helluva it, we're here for a reason, everyone is here for a reason. I guess this sentiment of mine also concides why I sometimes question the concept of God and His/Her Angels. What God would allow some homicidal maniac, parent or otherwise, to harm or kill a child? Where is God when that kinda shit happens? And Angels, I adore Angels but I gotta ask - where the fuck are the Angels when someone is beating on a child or worse yet, destroying them? Where are they when all this shit happens? These questions are definitely a few of the many I plan to ask when it comes my time to kick the bucket. Dont get me wrong, I too cling onto my spiritual beliefs just as much as anyone else does in unfathomable situations such as what I've discussed in this piece, but still, it just doesnt make sense how anyone, or anything of a divine nature, could even allow horrible things to happen to people as innocent and pure as young children. That is inexcusable in my eyes and always will be.
Tonight when I get home from work, I'm gonna light 3 white candles in my tiny living room window and say a special prayer of safety-n-protection for Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton. And, God forbid that they are decased, which I am praying with all my might that they are not, I'm gonna say a prayer of peace for them as well. I truly do not know what takes place inside the mind of a mentally-deranged, psychopathic individual that causes them to flip out and harm their own children but I do know one thing - that type of extreme behavior is exactly what makes such humans way far lower than any living animal on this planet. I guess it's at that point we all must ask ourselves this "Okay, which is more valuable? The life of John Skelton or the life of that ant I am about to crush with my shoe?" And like I said, if you're planning on having a family and there is even that one-chance-in-a-million that you feel at some point in time you simply wont be able to handle it, then please, I implore of you, dont have children, dont even have small animals in your house, if anything at all, please go buy yourself a bowl of Goldfish and call it good, okay? I mean it. Thank you for reading.
