The kids are okay physically

Remember in an earlier posting I told of the Iraqi children who were injured. They had been burned. Well today my friend was allowed to accompany a group going out into that same neighborhood. He was asked to do so that he might stop in and check on the children. The children were burned as a punishment by their father. In this society the women do the work and the men well I don't know what they do. So when a husband gets mad at his wife it could be the children who suffer for it. The husband does not want to injure the wife because she has to do the work. It saddens me to think that there are people in this world who think like this. These children will undoubtedly grow up and think that this is the way in is supposed to be and do this to their own children. Sad Good news is that the kids were okay and did not appear to have suffered any lasting effects.
