The Filipina Mom in Denmark

Yesterday Belgium were shocked to hear that 2 children and 1 adult were killed by a man who went into amok in a kindergarten and injured furthermore 10 children an 2 adults.  The killings happened in Dendermonde, 30 kilometers north of Brussels.  The doctors are still fighting to save the injured both children and adults. There were 18 children in total present during the rampage luckily most of the children are out. They said that the man painted his face black and white inspired by the joker in the Batman movie.  He just announced that he wanted to ask something and upon entering he just went to the small children area with under 3 years old children and started stabbing.  It’s horrible just to imagine babies who can not even talk, or stand up experience that.  Some of the pictures shown on the TV the police have to write a number on the children’s forehead for identification purposes because they don’t even know how to contact the parents.

According to what I hear in the news that the children are Vuggestue children which means they are younger than 3 years old.Having a 3 year old and my nephew still go tot he Vuggestue (A day care institution for small children form 6 months to 3 years old) my hearts bleeds and I offer sympathy and condolence to the Belgian parents.  I don’t know how to cope up with that situation.

It seems that the man was insane and had been to the psychiatric hospital and he is fascinated with the batman movie which I just watch the other day and I commented to my husband this joker is ruthless and evil with no empathy to anyone than the one played by Jack Nicholson.  His room  full of Heath Ledger paraphernalia and yesterday where the killings occurred is  his death anniversary.  The police are looking for the motives of the killing and the connection of the joker.   I just hope that he just chose batman instead of the joker. Which remind us to be vigilant on what kind of movies our children are seeing and what they surfing on the net and always be really to guide and give explanations.

I Denmark we also  leaves our children in the institution there is a Day Care for 3 years old and below and the kindergarten for 6-3 years old. Now  everybody is questioning the safety and security if the institutions which sometimes are tainted with pedophile and violence within the personnels once in while but note it is not rampant here. But nonetheless some became so paranoid that we can not take pictures of the children while in the institution because we signs a agreement if we allow them to post our children in their homepage or not so to it is not allowed to take a picture of your own children together with others.  It’s sad but that’s life nowadays I call it the disadvantage of the digital world.

Please say a prayer for the dead victims and fast recovery of the injured ones that hope that they will forget the dark chapter of their lives and especially to the parents I once again sympathize with them. Pray also that these violent episodes may not happens in the future.
