But For The Grace of God...

This could have been my Cookie. Instead, she was spared.

I mourn the loss of this baby who could have had a life with one of the countless families who want a child. I mourn the lives of the other two children. Dear God, why does this happen? Why was Cookie saved, and this baby not?

Someone knew these people were smoking crack and had a baby. Someone sold it to them. Someone used it with them. Someone knew. No one saved the baby. I know there was at least one person who could have said and done enough to intervene.

One more angel in heaven. One more senseless death.
