“God never gives you more than you can handle.” I admit I’m an atheist, but that’d be stupid anyway. Just look at the people who commit suicide. Though I’m sure that some will say that’s them choosing not to handle it, rather than not being able. So look at how many people get murdered. That’s not even counting all the other things that I guess you should be able to handle (job loss, illness, etc.) that can lead to ending up with you being homeless. But hey, it’s just something else you can handle.
Or how about the close cousin “God gives special needs children to special people” (or some variant thereof)? So wrong. While I haven’t seen any recent numbers, in older studies I read, children with disabilities were much more likely to be abused than children without. Due, in no small part, I’m sure, to how stressful caring for them can be (just as I’m pretty sure we’ve discussed other stressors like poverty and the correlation to child abuse previously). And, of course, teachers are more likely to do so, as well. And people with certain types of disabilities are less able to know when to tell and be able to tell when it happens.
