DOTHAN:    More than 80% of the child deaths are of children that are not even ready for kindergarten. Most times those deaths are by one of the parents.

Several issues that children have zero choice in: (1) who their mother is (2) who their father is (3) the living conditions of which they are born in (4) as a child the lifestyle of which their parents raise them (5) what their parents expose them to (6) how "sorry" their parents are in not making the children the focus of their lives (7) their parents not getting along and making the years of the childhood pure hell.

PARENTS - YOU BROUGHT THE CHILDREN INTO THE WORLD

AND IT IS YOUR OBLIGATION AND RESPONSIBILITY 

TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILD AND MAKE THE CHILD YOUR PRIORITY
