Did you ever pay attention to how your children mimic your every word and gesture? It's both amusing and terrifying at the same time. Like our little dude, who's been marching around the house shouting 'march, march,' and saluting everything, after learning about saluting the flag at school. Parenting moments like these are adorable, but, sometimes, they also demand our serious attention. Like when he didn't want me to leave for work. Was it just a child's plea or a sign of something more profound?But not all parenting tales are sweet. Some rip your heart out. Like a 13-year-old's life cut short due to negligent parenting and society's apathy. How are we, as a community, failing our children? The chilling story of Amelia and Christine, two sisters caught in a cycle of abuse and violence, further underlines the lasting impact of these failings. But, it's not just about identifying the problems, it's about holding those accountable that perpetuate them.Switching from parenting to police work isn't easy, neither are the challenges we face in the line of duty. Like this one time, when an officer had to prove his right to use an oil pad. The dark underbelly of society, marked by gang violence, drug use, and theft, doesn't make it any easier.
