This is more of a side note than anything else, but here it is anyway:
I'll never understand why society at present percieves the abuse of children as the most God-awful shit that can happen. I'm not saying child abuse
isn't horrible in and of itself, but to put things into perspective, look at the worst shit that's ever happened to anyone 17 years old or younger over the course of the 20th century (before it became a serious issue in the 1970's). For instance, these days the worst shit is considered to be the Andrea Yates situation. Ok, yeah, what she did was fucked up, but no where fucking near as fucked up as the lesser known shit that didn't get much attention because, at the time, abuse wasn't really considered a 'problem'.
I've heard waaaay more fucked up shit than today's standard of fucked up, but for what it's worth,
this is by far the worst shit ive ever read.
