The Cries Of The Defenseless and Powerless
Suffer the Little ChildrenHistory
Massacre of Hebrew Boys
Egyptian Pharaoh Seti I ordered his army to kill all newborn Hebrew boys fearing a potential rebellion.
Massacre of the Innocent
"Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under..." Matthew 2:16-18
China
"China has a history of killing female children which spans 2,000 years. When missionaries arrived in China in the late sixteenth century, they witnessed newborns being thrown into rivers or onto rubbish piles. The practice was widespread. drowning was the most common method used to kill female children. Other methods used were suffocation and starvation." ( Wikipedia.com )
India
"In traditional Indian culture, it is a requirement that the parents of girls provide a suitable dowry upon marriage. Therefore, female babies were considered to be financial burdens, which allowed them to justify their killing at birth."

The Innocent and Pure Souls
Jesus said the following:
"Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Shush…and listen. Do you hear the sound? No, it is not the sound of laughter. It is the weeping sound of children from around the world. It is the sound of hunger, fear, and desperation. It is the sound of abused children.
As we climb into a comfortable bed, with clean sheets, fluffy pillows, and a full stomach, many children are sleeping on the streets or on cold floors with empty bellies. While others are hiding in a dark corner petrified waiting for the abuser to steal their innocence from them once again.
Vulnerable children exposed to sexual violence. They are innocent child victims living in a world where they are alone and forgotten.
Murder of an Innocent Child
Recently, an eight-year old boy went missing while walking home from day camp. It was his first time walking home alone. Missing person signs were posted in the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn, New York where he lived.
Hoping and praying for the safe return of the innocent child, the community waited anxiously for some news. Not once did anyone foresee what would happen next.
After reviewing neighborhood video camera recordings and diligent police work, the culprit was found. However, where was little Leiby Kletzky? Did the culprit have him locked away in a closet where he was crying and wanting to go home, or was he hiding under the bed? Where exactly was Leiby?
The most horrendous part of the story was not that little Leiby was locked away in a closet or hiding under a bed. Instead, it was that some of his body parts were discovered in the culprit’s freezer, while the rest was in the trash in another neighborhood.
A deranged man butchered and mutilated an innocent child. Although his external appearance does not reveal any signs of indecency, it is important for everyone to remember that evil comes in many different forms.
The Face of Evil
This man is the image of evil. The man who possesses a diabolic mind and soul. The man who committed the worst crime-a crime against an innocent and defenseless child.
Looks are deceitful.
Defenseless Children
Just like Leiby, children are being mutilated in more than one way around the globe. Every second a child somewhere around the world is experiencing the most horrendous atrocities imaginable. Children are being kidnapped, tortured, beaten, raped, sold, starved, disfigured, stabbed, shot and killed.
When will this stop? Remember Jesus' words, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven." -Matthew 18:10
Update: Massacre of Innocent Children
Update: December 14, 2012
Today, twenty angels marched through the gates of heaven and were embraced by God.
Eleven days before Christmas, a young man walked into a Connecticut elementary school and opened fire taking the lives of innocent human beings. Twenty of them were innocent, defenseless children between the ages of 5 to 10 years old.
The holiday season is considered a time of much celebration, love and joy. It is a time where wishes are fulfilled, and children wait eagerly for wish gifts. However, this year in Newton, Connecticut things will be different. Many of the children from Sandy Hook Elementary School will not be returning home to celebrate the holiday season. This year, sadness and tears will replace laughter and joy.
To the families of the deceased, and the entire Newton community, my prayers go out to all.

Human Trafficking
"Children are being taken and trafficked. for the sex trade, forced labor, forced marriage, and other illegal purposes. Many are sold into prostitution to pay off family debts or forced to work in brothels."
Others are abducted and killed for their organs.
