Tragedy is my business.
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.
