Imagine this...
As you steadily awaken yourself from the intense slumber you have been it for the past 7 hours, a high-pitched scream fills your ears; alerting you to uncertainty of the actions in the other room. You gradually roll over to find that you have been woken up at 5am on a Monday morning. This starts to put irritation into your bloodstream. You throw the light mulberry duvet cover off your tanned skin, inviting the bitter coldness to make contact with your body. You gradually start to walk down the hallway reaching this discoloured white door, where the screaming is most deafening. However, when you step foot into the little boy's blue room you notice the blood curderling scream is filled with the cries of your name."Mummy."
"Mummy."
"Mummy save me."But all you do is just stand there and let your newly wedded husband throw a dozen punches into that afraid boy's face. How can you watch him? How can you watch him hurt your beautiful baby boy?
As a result of all the abuse, this infant is getting, his pale face is now covered with a thick liquid falling from his broken nose. You try and search for a place to lay your eyes on but all you can see is the terrifying look the boy is giving you, pleading you, silently, to make this nightmare stop. To just save this innocent infant's life before things go to far, because that's where it is going to lead. It is going to lead to death.
Nevertheless, you just can not bring yourself to say anything to your scum of a husband so step-by-step you leave your worried son, knowing full well this will be the last time you will see him alive and healthy, because the next time you see your son, you will just be staring down at his lifeless weak body laying in a pool of his own blood; covered in horrific black and blue bruises.
