poor Jye

today i was catching the train home from the city. when im on the train i like to watch and listen to other ppl and imagine wot it wud be like to be them - or be a part of their lives...sometimes i also wonder if ppl listen to me or watch me and wonder wot they think.
but today i was deeply saddened and disapointed by what i saw. there was a young single mum with a few of her friends and her son Jye. he was such a cutie, very curly, very blonde hair. obviously took after his biological father cos he loooked NOTHING like his mum. this sounds judgemental - but her and her friends all looked a bit trashy, had older clothes on, bad hair, bad makeup just all round dodgy looking, but also not a day over 20. thru eves-dropping i learnt:
* they all took drugs
* they were all ON drugs
* they had spent all day buying drugs
* they felt the need to add the "F" word between every 2 or 3 other words.

i seriosly wanted to kidnap little Jye. i guess thru doing my teaching degree i am learning alot about how to speak to children, how to get them to do what u want and how wot u say and do to them effects them emotionally. i was just appalled at wot this poor kid was coping. he would have been about 3 MAYBE 4. and he was hearing every single swear word. they spoke badly about him in front of him LIKE AS IF HE DIDNT UNDERSTAND!! he was getting called a little turd, a little s***. his mum was saying "im gonna leave u behind...i wish i cud" .... "ur gonna fall and break ur neck and im gonna laugh at u"
who says that to their kids? :-(

all they were talking about was getting smashed, it was tragic. the mother got all excited when she figured out opportunities and ways to dump her son so she cud go and get drunk or pick up some more drugs.
one girl was asked if she was still 'doing gear' she said she went off it but put on weight so now shes back on it again....like HELLO kind of an expensive diet isnt it?

anyway. it really broke my heart. it was like watching the making of a future armed robber. u cud just see this kid had no love in his life and was gonna end up with major issues. so sad. :-( poor little Jye, will have to pray for him tonight
