"VEEDERSBURG, Ind. - A couple who ran a baby-sitting service out of their home videotaped themselves performing sex acts with children, some as young as 2 months old, police said Friday."

This is the word from the Associated Press today. No matter how many times this happens and I hear it, it still knocks me over. How do we know our children are safe, who can we entrust them to, how will the damage be repaired? I can't even begin to imagine the anger and betrayal these parents feel learning of the vile acts perpetrated against their babies. How do we as a society respond to such horror? There are even people who claim this does no harm. I think all you have to do to disprove that notion is to ask an adult victim of child sexual abuse if it has affected their life. I am quite sure you will get a resounding yes. If the determining factor on the greatness of a society is based on how we treat the very young and the very old, we are failing miserably. God help us!
