Very upset (baby murder mentioned)

[trog]

I've just seen the news about a 3 month old boy who died after being beaten and burned by his father and I recognised the block of flats so I looked it up to see what road it was and it was the one we used to back onto in our old flat until 3 years ago. It's less than a mile away from where we're living now.

It shouldn't make any difference where an atrocity like this happens but for some reason it hits home a bit more when you know the area. I just can't begin to think what would make someone do that to his son, or to any child. There was a picture of the little angel on the BBC news page and it just made me cry to see such a beautiful little innocent so tragically taken from this world. I feel sick. :( :( :( :(

I know what you mean. In the house that backs on to mine a man was stabbed in the back by his girlfriend and later died, and I live in a supposedly nice area. Just goes to show it can happen anywhere.

That news story made me sick to the stomach, it was so distressing to hear, he was a monster but I have to say so was the mother for not doing anything and not taking him to get medical treatment 2006argh

Oh I know, we heard it when we were on r way back from Weymouth 2day, we'd been having a laugh & when the story came on the news we just went quiet. I just feel sooo bad 4 the mother http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b117/kathyhinsh/Smilies/icon_hug.gif

But Kathy if that had been happening to your child wouldn't you have done something to stop it? You wouldn't have seen me and my baby for dust!
