Saddens My Heart

So recently in North Carolina a 5 year old girl went missing according to her mother on the morning of Tuesday, November 10th. Amber alerts were issued in hopes to find the little girl and bringing her back home safely. Well with further investigation some suspicions of the mother arouse and she was later charged with human trafficking, felony child abuse, prostitution and filing a false police report. According to investigations she had sold her 5 year old to a man, who was later seen with the child at a hotel, for him to molest her. They later arrested the man who was identified as Mario Mcneill, but he refused to give up any information about the whereabouts of the child. But today, November 16th, almost a week later, the body of the little girl was found right outside of Sanford, NC.

This is such a tragic ending to this story, all of the things this child went through during her last days of such a young life. I just keep thinking of the fact that she was alone out there when she was found and before that she was with a man who only wanted to have sex with her. How is a 5 year old suppose to handle something like that? I wonder how many times throughout the day she cried to just go home and how many times he ignored her or told her no? I wonder if her mom knew this would be the outcome if she would still do it? I wonder why not her? why couldnt she sell herself and not her baby? A baby she carried for 9 months and for 4 years was not able to see because of her drug problem. Why wouldnt she want to make the best out of her childs life? Was she really that selfish? Is the power of drugs really that strong?
