There's the article... So I'm SUPER curious about what everyone thinks. So the article states that the onlookers, due to shock and not being equipped for such situations are "justified" in not trying to stop this "man" from beating his TODDLER (between 12-24 months old) to DEATH, I believe for SIX MINUTES they watched... Now, I'm wondering, how on earth is that justified? When I heard this particular part of the story I was in shock. How can anyone see a grown person beating a child so viciously and just stand with jaw gaping and do nothing but maybe call the police???
What do you all think?!
This reminds me of that recent story of that man who was run over, laying in the street, people definately saw this, cars passed by, but it took over a minute for anyone to even begin helping...
So another question-what is wrong with people nowadays? I pray it's never me who needs help...
Oh tracy, you don't realize how true that is... my husband said on the news today they were talking about how they still just don't know WHY he did it...
I'm sure that his baby gave a crap about his childhood or whatever other "problems" "drove him" to BRUTALLY murder his child.
Thank God that the cop was able to get him and serve justice rather than waste our tax dollars on that scum... (sorry, not trying to rant, this whole story just shocks me so much, plus I have a 2 1/2 year old, 1 year old and a 4 year old, so I'm sensitive to this sort of thing)...
