Blaming one and ignoring the Big Picture

It's easy to see one incident, one situation and blame the victim or blame the assailant. What about society, what about all the strings attached to why the situation occurred.

Here is an example: There is a story in China about a 2 day old baby who was flushed down the toilet and rescue. Of course everyone blames the parents and yes what they did was a crime. But who else is responsible in this situation? Lets look deeper.
New Born Baby Trapped in pipe.

  • The sad part is you can't just blame the parents, it's societies fault too. Only sick people would do this. Only uneducated, and people who are stepped on would do this. Would a health person, who knew about safe sex get pregnant in the first place? NO! A person who was educated about how to maintain a health lifestyle within in their means would know if they could afford a child.

  • When things like this happen, it's because a whole population is suffering, not just one. This story represents thousands if not millions of new born children, dumped because the parents would starve trying to feed it. People need to be educated about safe sex, and how to maintain money within their income level. There needs to be more social programs to help those in low income situations. I wish programs like planned parent hood existed in more countries and that they were seen as a positive and the 1st to go to for sexual advice.

    Do you think that just putting people in jail will make life better? Yes it's important to face your crimes. It's important to take responsibility for your actions, but why? It's essential to eventually move on, grow up, and not make the mistake again! The point is to help those in need. A healthy person wouldn't commit a crime unless the law was inhumane. We should be educating and helping people to become independent, forgiving, kind individuals not just punishing them and then ignoring them while they rot in a cell for the rest of their lives.

  1. This was horrible! I could barely watch the video when they tried to break open the sewage pipe to rescue the baby. Yes, you are right, it is the whole society and system that should be blamed even cursed. In China the abortion clinic are so easy to find yet cheap on operation. Despite the fact that such a thing is immoral, safe sex was sparsely educated in China, not even sex only, at least in the days when I was growing up. Probably it is because of the scenario that no one was educated well about sex or it was prohibited at large, juveniles would taste the forbidden fruit against public's view.
