I'm not a mom, but I would be devastated if I found out that my kid had been abused in some way and never told me. I'd be even more hurt if it happend to be at the hands of a family member or family friend. I don't even know if I could be held liable for my actions if I found out someone was hurting my kid.

I'd also be devastated if he/she were diagnosed with any sort of terminal illness. I've known little kids who have died of cancer and I have always grieved so much for their parents.
