I have been watching the coverage of Baby Hope or as we now know her name, Anjelica Castillo. She was sexually assaulted, suffocated, and stuffed in a cooler to rot. Her body was found by construction workers. She was never reported missing. Not by her mother. Not by any family member. Nobody. She was forgotten by everyone except for the police who investigated her murder. They held a funeral for her and paid to have her buried. They would visit her grave. For over two decades.
And now....Now I wonder why a little girl, raped and murdered would be given the name Hope. If anything this is the very opposite of hope. It gives me reason to not want to bring children into this world. Because there is evil. There are bad people in this world. There are mothers who do not mention when their child goes missing. There are uncles who do terrible things.
It makes me wonder what exactly is wrong with the world.
I'm glad there is a name on that poor girl's grave.
And I truly hope her mother goes to jail. For a very, very long time. What sort of human allows that to happen?
Oh, my kid isn't here any longer. Happens. I'll just go on with my life and not tell anyone. Stay in the same apartment.
How do the neighbors not ask? Oh hey, there used to be a little girl here....not anymore. Maybe something happened?
Family members? What happened to my niece? She isn't here. What's gives?
What on earth is wrong with this world when a little girl can disappear? Vanish. Only to be disposed of in a cooler one would store beer in on a hot summer day.
