I’m just sick to my stomach…Ever since I heard the news yesterday, my thoughts are constantly with the victims of this terrible crime that happened yesterday… A 20 yrs old man forced his way into a children’s daycare center in Dendermonde and attacked the babies and toddlers with a knife, with the intention of killing them all. Tears well up in my eyes as I’m typing this… This is just too sick for words… A nine months old baby, a six months old baby and one of the nurses were killed, and lots of others are severly injured…. A couple of babies are still fighting for their lives…. I just cannot understand somebody could do something as horrible as that. How can someone harm such pure, little, helpless, innocent human beings? And then when I think about the toddlers that witnessed this massacre, how terrified they must have been… How will this infect their lives?

My heart goes out to the families of this children, their lives will never be the same again…

I feel so sad to witness the world grow uglier every day… I’m a parent myself, is this the world we have to bring up our children in? What will be next? I’m already overprotective when it concerns my child, but what more can we do to protect our children? This could have happened at my daughter’s school, who would have prevented it? And WHY? Why little children?!

If you’re reading this, please send your positive thoughts and prayers towards the victims and their families….

And if it’s any comfort, the murderer was caught. He doesn’t cooperate with the police at all, but he will get his punishment. But somehow that doesn’t comfort me at all… No punishment will ever make up for what he did….
