This Just Breaks My Heart
This just breaks my heart and is becoming an all too often occurrence as of late. I'm tired of these men deciding they don't want their child or they want to get back at their child's mother so they throw them off a bridge or otherwise kill them because they are selfish pricks! I've said it before and I'll say it again most women will gladly, completely remove themselves from your lives. We don't want our children exposed to such selfishness and hate! We'll move on, find a way to support our families and get what needs to be done, done. This just makes me want to scream!

The thing that seems to be in common in stories of this kind--it's not that the parent who kills the children (95% of the cases I've seen it's the male parent, but not always) doesn't want the children, it's that they don't want the other parent to have the children. Like a four-year-old breaking their own toy so they don't have to share it with a sibling. "If I can't have them, you won't be able to either! So there!"
It is so sick and wrong.

Exactly. I can't imagine using a child as a bargaining chip or with holding them from a mother who loves them. In these guy's minds I think it's a if I can't have them then you can't either and I'm going to make you completely miserable in the process!

Fairy tales don't teach children Monsters exist.
Children already know that Monsters exist.
Fairy tales teach children Monsters can be killed.

And sadly they don't teach you that the Monster might be your parent either. It boggles my mind that someone could hurt their own child.
