Sandra Cantu Anger and Pain
It is the nightmare every parent dreads. The senseless loss of a child to abduction and murder. Unless experienced firsthand it is difficult to grasp the emotional pain and confusion the family of Sandra Cantu is going through right now.
However, other parents and people also develop feelings and often react to such news. It strikes a chord deep within the emotional center as one tries to reason why such events happen.
These feelings can sometimes be misdirected into thoughts, decisions and actions that are not called for or appropriate and may even motivate the individual to compromise their principles and values.
A young woman named Melissa Huckaby has been arrested for the abduction, rape and murder of little Sandra Cantu. Now people are misdirecting their anger toward that name and even going so far as to attack an innocent woman that happens to share that name.
This is an extremely unique case of human behavior. I was stunned to hear the news that a young woman had been arrested when generally such crimes are committed by young to middle aged men, but the new charge of rape has me speechless.
No matter how monstrous the crime it is NEVER right to attack the person. This young woman is due her day in court just like everyone else and as far as the other Melissa Huckaby’s in the world…
Really people, don’t you have something better to do?
I mean, what if they prove in court that Melissa Huckaby didn’t do it? If she did them she deserves the strongest punishment for such a crime, but give them a chance to take her to trial first before you judge and convict.
And especially before you attack.
No need to picket outside anyone’s home or slam her family or other people that happen to have the same name.
Actually, people should pay special attention to this case. The specifics of a young woman being charged with such a crime is so rare that it is vitally important parents learn a lesson from this case.
The attack on a child and especially a girl by another female is a threat that most parents would completely overlook. Your eyes are focused for a different form of criminal.
Pre-teen and teen children are generally targeted by men. Women sometimes target newborn babies, but rarely abduct children over age 6 to 8.
As a parent you must be diligent in safeguarding children from all threats. The concern is that we simply don’t see it coming. It’s the unseen evil that blindsides you from out of nowhere that’s usually calling.
I am absolutely livid with confused anger and hurt over the needless suffering and death of another child, but I for one, am not ready or willing to attack the person arrested. I’ll simply wait and see what happens during the investigation and subsequent trial if one evolves.
And I’m certainly not interested in venting at the other Melissa Huckaby’s of the world.
