MARACAIBO VENEZUELA
María del Carmen is 6 years old and weighs 6 kilos. At home eating is no longer a habit. They go hungry and they are noticed. It has a small body and little skin covers the bones. Only her grandmother and her aunt charge her, because the other family members "are afraid to break her".

The last time the girl was weighed was in December. His relatives say that in November he weighed 10 kilos, but no longer, now he is in six because he is severely malnourished.

Her mother left her at her grandmother's house along with her four brothers who are two girls of 8 and 5 and two children of 4 and 2 years old. María del Carmen is the second of this group.

I couldn't bear to post the pictures. It is sickening.

But, Maduro insists that there is no humanitarian crisis. This child is a prop to be used by the CIA and the narco-criminal Presidente in Colombia (who cannot dance the Rumba and sing llanero songs like Maduro!)

1. Another authoritarian ruler killing his own citizens. Sounds like another

wannabee authoritarian ruler we know.

2. How come all the rulers who seem to do this throughout history are men?

Do men take life more than women do because women give life? I know it isn't that simple but "HIS"tory seems to support this fact.

3. Testosterone makes some men go insane and feel privileged to do

whatever. Men are more "I" and women are more "we". The "I" part
causes a lot of trouble. Women value life far more then men.

Venezuela’s economy is so bad, parents are leaving their children at orphanages

By Anthony Faiola February 12 at 5:27 PM

CARACAS, Venezuela — “Would you like to see the little ones?” asked Magdelis Salazar, a social worker, beckoning me toward a crowded playground.

We were at Venezuela’s largest orphanage, just after lunch. The yard was an obstacle course of abandoned children. A little chunk of a boy, on the cusp of 3, sat on a play scooter. He was called El Gordo — the fat one. But when he was left here a few months ago, he was skin and bones.

He zoomed past a 3-year-old in a pink shirt with tiny flowers. “She doesn’t talk much,” one of the attendants said, tousling the girl’s curly hair. At least, not anymore. In September, her mother left her at a subway station with a bag of clothes and a note begging someone to feed the child.

Poverty and hunger rates are soaring as Venezuela’s economic crisis leaves store shelves empty of food, medicine, diapers and baby formula. Some parents can no longer bear it. They are doing the unthinkable.

Giving up their children.
