Discouraged today

We were teaching this young girl a lesson and witnessed a mother knocking her 6 year old son into a metal fence where he bounced off and fell on the cement.  He was ok, but he just sat there and cried.  No noise, just tears falling from those little eyes.  Found out his mother was NOT angry with the child....but angry at the child’s baby daddy.  The child was running out to see his mother as she was coming home from work and she was yelling on the phone.  The little boy was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
How sad that this little boy can not trust his mother for love and kindness.  Do we wonder how he will act as an adult when he is angry?  
I love what we do and I understand that we are providing answers to help them succeed in this world as well as the next.  Sometimes I get tired of the poverty, desperation, crime, and people begging for money every where we go.  OK....complaining over.
