CHILD LEUKEMIA

Blood Cancer or Leukemia specially in kids is a very touche' subject for me. I have seen atleast 2 children suffer from it from quite a close range. And in both the cases the children suffered due to extreme negligence or ignorant fault of their parents which infuriates me no end. Due to extremely selfish nature of the parent their child had to suffer.

Case One : A 2 year old baby died at such a young age due to blood cancer. Why? The mother when pregnant took innumerable sleeping pills and other unprescribed drugs/tablets. If she had any fight with her husband she would gulp down all sorts of pills in an attempt to commit suicide while still being pregnant. As a result the child born to her ( a boy ) was extremely weak since birth.As he grew a bit, he remained a sick child. And on top of that he was never fed properly. A child normally cries or behaves irritatedly, that does not mean that you do not feed or ignore it. Whole day the only food he got was some biscuits or little milk. When asked why the baby is not fed, the mother carelessly answers that he cries a lot hence he does not want to eat. Couldn;t the mother force feed even if the baby cried? Ultimately he became very ill and had to be hospitalised where he had a neumonia attack. While in hospital, the doctors were unable to cure him. Blood tests revealed that he had blood cancer and needed urgent treatment. However, the little baby's tiny body could not take in the strong chemotherapy drugs and ultimately breathed his last at tiny age of 2 yrs and few months.
The mother cried a lot on his death, but what's the use of it? Why did you take so many unprescribed medicines while you were pregnant? Why did you not feed him properly? Didn't you kill your own child slowly because of your own foolishness?

Case Two : 8 year old kid. Now his parents were extreme show offs. When still a baby both ( husband+wife) went on long bike rides even during freezing winter without proper protection to the child. If there is a monster mom then this child's mother surely was one. She beat up her own little boy ever since he was a little baby. Though the father objected this, mommy showed no mercy and beat up the boy at every occasion. As a result the boy grew up being extremely scared of his own mother. The parents dragged the little boy to any and every party or social gatherings. If he grumbled that he didn ot want to go mommy would beat him so hard that he had no option but to go in the end. Talk about selfish parents. Normally parents try to do as per their child's conviniences but these parents esp the monster mother tried to mould him as per her own wishes only. If the boy dared to object he was trashed. Moreover this lazy selfish mommy fed this boy only junk and unhealthy food. She would be too lazy to cook, hence would order ready made stuff from restaurants. The boy as such got not much healthy home cooked nutrituous food but instead grew up on a burger and pepsi diet, which made his body weak. He frequently had bouts of fever and cold. Once he had a fever and for 2-3 months he was not recovering. Doctors then revealed that he was suffering from blood cancer. Then at a tender age of 8 this little boy had to undergo cancer treatment.

Who's fault was it that he had to ultimately suffer?
Both cases mentioned above are true real life incidences of well-to-do families and it is sad that in both the cases the child had to pay for their parent's selfish and insensitive behaviours.

What do we learn from it :
1. If you are pregnant then for god's sake dont take unprescribed medicines just b'cos you have some domestic issue with your spouse.
2. If your baby shows disinterest in eating, force feed if required ( without any beating ) but make sure that the baby get some food every 1-2 hours. Don't make it skip any meal. Till around 6 years donot feed junk food,instead try to feed healthy nutrituous things.
3. Please don't harass a child. Just because you want to go to a party, donot assume that your child want to go to one as well especially if he grumbles that he does not want to go or says that he is not well. Don't forcefully take him. While it may be a show off thing for you, it may be simply harassment for the kid.
4. Please don't beat up your kid. Children are the most precious gifts from God. While you may have given birth to them, that still does not give you the right to beat them up mercilessly. They are young only once, donot scare them at such young age with a violent nature, it gives a very bad example to the children. Instead shower them with love and understanding. Dont beat up your child at small mistakes. A child is bound to make a mistake. Be patient with them.M ake their childhood pleasant. Donot be a monster parent.

UPDATE
Incidently, this monster mommy's husband too eventually died of cancer. She is really a monster of worst kind who makes everyone around her cancer patients.
