I always think about how these children must have felt in those last terrifying moments of their life, so scared and helpless. One of the reasons I could never be a cop, I would break down all the time having to handle these types of cases. I actually did apply once years ago, my brother had just become a P.C, then I decided to visit my Grandma for a few months and that was 11 years ago
Jez, my mom worked in the sex crimes & child abuse unit for a few years (cle, oh). She has told me of one time especially where the young girl had been sexually, emotionally & mentally abused and after the short time my mom spent with her...interviewing her, that kind of stuff, my mom gave the little girl a hug goodbye and the girl told her "i love you"
Eventually she said she just had to leave that unit.
Your mum must be a strong lady to do that, i cannot imagine how hard it would be, big thanks to your mum for doing one of the hardest jobs. It's bittersweet about that child, just in that short time it seems your mum must have helped her a lot, for this child to be able to say 'i love you' after what she endured says a lot about the child and your mum.
I have always wanted to do something to help children who have no one, to give them some of the love and attention they deserve but I honestly think it would break my heart each and every day.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
