"In the News"

i read a story in the paper the other day about a child who wandered away from his home and was lost in the woods for 2 days. He was eventually found but then died in hospital as a result of hypothermia. I'm not 100 percent sure but I believe he was autustic or in some other way handicapped. When I read this all I could think about is how his parents must have felt for those 2 days. Can you imagine the feelings of guilt even though I'm sure they were blameless. Can you imagine the anguish at not being able to comfort their child in his suffering? Can you imagine the anxiety, the anticipation of the phone call that would eventually come? How terribly powerless they must have felt.

...and that's all I got ta say about that....
