Things must be pretty desperate for someone to burn themselves alive. That is definitely not the way I'd choose to die if I had a choice. If things there are so desperate that this is what it has come to then they need to go back to Syria… because Europe is saturated at this point and I don't think there is much sympathy towards taking in more. Dies that sound hard? Probably. But self preservation usually does sound that way.

Whoever it is exploiting children needs to be found and brought to justice. For me, justice would be put in a room with an anvil and the family of the abused children are brought in and handed a sledge hammer. I'm so tired of reading about how horrible we are to each other. I joined the Army to protect this country. I have a strong protective streak in me. When I read about this it makes mad… very, very mad.
