An innocent life has been taken in a heinous way. When I first read that DNA tests showed that she was the missing girl, I was shocked. But yet, when the parents said that it was not their daughter, I chose to believe that Nurin was still out there. I wanted to be hopeful. Upon reading that her father had finally accepted the DNA results and acknowledged the girl as his daughter, i was overwhelmed. My emotions overcame me and I had to have a little cry. I cried for Nurin and her parents and all the children still missing out there. After becoming a parent myself, I find myself becoming emotional about anything involving children. It is probably because I keep thinking of how it would be if my son was the one who was involved in it.
I am glad that Nurin has been put out of her misery and is now in a better place. The person that did this to her cannot be called an animal as I do not know of any animal that would do such a thing. Animals will only kill for survival, period. It worries me to know that there are some very sick humans walking among us. I just cannot comprehend how anyone can harm children. They are so young and innocent. What do you get by doing such horrible things to children??
I cannot even begin to imagine how the parents must feel at this moment. To bury the one you have borne before you must be a terrible thing. To make things worse, the police are now looking to see if the parents were negligent! Come on! Don't you think the parents are suffering enough! They will have to live with their decision of letting her go to the night market alone for the rest of their lives. The guilt they feel will never go away. Is there really a need to make things worse for them? As a parent, we strive to do the best we can for our children, but we cannot have our eyes on them 24 hours a day. I myself have gone out with my son and looked away for a moment or two but i am lucky that he was still there.
Gone are the days when children were safe to go out and play. The simple act of walking to school itself is not safe today. What is the world coming to? In time to come, all children will be confined to their homes I think. Nowadays, I try my best not to go out with my son alone. When I absolutely have to, I am always worried that someone will snatch my son away. Call me paranoid but i would rather be safe than sorry. I know that there are no guarantees, that if some thing is meant to happen, it will, no matter what we do. But for now, this false sense of security I have enables me to carry on with my daily life.
Jazimin and Norazian, may God give you strength to go on with your lives. Rest in peace, Nurin Jazlin.
