Thread: Wow this is pretty upsetting..how can it happen in this day and age

I couldn't read that without getting teary. I don't know what was going on in their lives, there is no reasonable explanation for this.

....drugs...mental illness..or both...mother's and father's

tragic

I read this a couple of days ago, it's so hard to understand how anyone would let these poor kids suffer like this. And that's without thinking of those people who are desperate to have children but can't. Really sad.

How can this happen, Why would they do this, How can a parent neglect there children like this, I cant fathem the words to say much more,

The parents need to be thrown in a cell, With no food, no water, no fresh clothes and no contact to the outside world only with each other until there last breath leaves there no good ridden horrid bodys,

And why didnt the older siblings do or say anything, its beyond belief .

My wife has a friend in Brisbane who didn't feed her newborn baby for three days straight because it was too hard to breastfeed.

Those types of people are out there, make no mistake about it.

I have long thought that breeding should require means testing and a license.

just unbelievable mental illness (postnatal depression) maybe but that may excuse mum to some degree but what about dad working 2 jobs maybe only sleeps at home or were they just criminal don't know. Cant blame the brothers/sisters they would believe what ever mum and dad told them

My nephews partner recently gave birth, they pushed her out of hospital after a couple of days. No follow up, they used to keep women in for a week, or more, until the Hospital was sure the Mother could express milk, & if not, had the knowledge to bottle feed. Luckily, there is a support group of family for our new arrival, & new Mum. Even so, she is exhausted, can't imagine what it would be like without family support, or partner support. The Hospital system here is not good, now the State Gov. have said they are getting rid of 400 experienced nurses & hiring newly graduated nurses in their place. The reason? graduates cost less. Bob
