Divorce Sucks

More than half of Americans' marriges end in divorce. Often when children are involved there is a battle for custody that to me can seem to be more spiteful than really wanting what is best for the child. This story shows a very dramatic way of how divorce hurts children and splits up families. The title "Popular Mechanics" uses the word popular because this truly is a popular event in our modern society.We do not know why the parents are fighting and this makes us unable to determine who should really get the baby. However this is insignificant in the end because the story is conveying the harnm the parents conflict on the child. Neither parent really seems to care about the child they just want to win the battle and make the other suffer. There is a story in the bible where two women are fighting over a child and king solomon says they should cut the baby in half and each revieve half. This also shows how little they actually care about the child just getting what they want.
