Survey: As a parent, how do you feel when...?

..you read these absolutely HORRIBLE accounts and cases of child abuse as they appear in the media or you just happen to stumble upon?

Here's a story of a 5 year old that was in crib-turned-cage and so malnourished that she was subsisting on eating her own dead skin: http://widk.com/2013/11/19/young-girl-found-locked...

6-week-old baby raped by uncle in South Africa http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Baby-6-week...

13-month-old boy was struck twice in the stomach by the accused's fist, caused severe abdominal hemorrhaging: http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20131127/NE...

Parents sent to 60 years for being too LAZY to feed their baby boy http://freepatriot.org/2013/11/19/baby-nearly-star...

What are your thoughts?

Do you feel:

Rage? Sadness? Disbelief and shock? A combination? I'd like to hear your thoughts, because I don't really get any "stimulating conversation" or adequate responses from my Mom. She loves all five of us (me and my siblings) but she prefers not to think about it and does not like to discuss it, because it's ..inappropriate, I guess, but what do YOU think?
