Wow, people are crazy…
I was reading a post about some man that put his child in the microwave, and from what I read I had to take a look at the article myself in order to believe it. Apparently this man called police saying that he burned his daughter after he tripped while carrying hot water, and it wasn’t until later that he told police he put “his daughter in the microwave because he was under stress”. First of all, putting a child in a microwave because you’re under stress is not an acceptable excuse. Second, there is something suspicious going on if he lied to the cops in the beginning, maybe he meant to put his daughter in the microwave? Third, if the little girls mother is defending the father, then something is probably wrong with her as well, if not maybe she was a part of the whole incident. Maybe they both agreed to kill the baby until after 10-20 seconds of watching their baby burn in a microwave they realized how %@&#$ up they were. Also, it says something about both the man and the woman’s lack of responsibility if they have a child at such a young age, then put it in a microwave. Perhaps they couldn’t handle the responsibility of a child, and at least one of them decided that the best choice was to microwave the 2 month old girl. I don’t know what other messed up explanations there could be for these actions, but none of them justify what happened to the helpless infant. I think that the father should absolutely spend life in prison, and if the mother is defending him then she should go to prison too. If the mother doesn’t go to prison then the least that should be done is the little girl should be placed into different custody. I don’t know what else to say except that these people are absolutely crazy.
That’s a horrifying story, to be sure; no one would suggest otherwise. But as with the ‘hoax most cruel,’ those kind of visceral reactions only take us so far. Seek to understand (which is not the same thing as approving, or justifying). As you said, “these people are absolutely crazy.” What should be done next?
