Crime, accdients, death—they are all in my day’s work. I’m a police reporter. But there’s one part of this job I never get used to—the violent death of a child. The police radio blares that there has been a serious accident. I rush to the scene with a pho tographer. We find a child has been kill ed: I must treat it like any other mishap. Another statistic — an other story. I get the facts: name of the victim, age, address, name of parents. I find out how far the tiny body was hurled by the speed ing car, the name of the unhap py death-car, and which mortu ary the body will go to. I can’t listen to the child’s crying mother. I can’t comfort her. I have a deadline to meet. An other statistic. Another story to handle. I can’t let my mind dwell on the crumbled, broken body lying doll-like across the concrete curbing. I can’t think about the tom wounds, the bruised, innocent face. But when Pm home at night, the scene returns to haunt me. And suddenly the face of the dead child becomes that of my own girl or boy. I pray then that one of my sta tistics won’t become a personal tragedy. I pray I won’t be the careless driver who adds another name to the death list. And I pray for you, too. I pray that you will drive carefully and let our children live. —Reprinted from Desert News and Telegram, Salt Lake City, Utah. i Questions and Answers Social Security Commission Q.
