Another one?
This is getting a bit like “haven’t we been here before? A couple of days ago??” This is depressing.
And they say some parents should not have a licence for having kids. And they say some parents should not have psychiatric evaluations to check if they might be a danger to their offspring.
Guess more kids are just gonna have to die then. Pity, because these kids might have been keen advocates for such an evaluation. Who will stick up for them? Where are the indignant parents voices screaming about this latest atrocity? Seems to me that they are becoming far too commonplace – though I’m sure some will be quick to say “oh, this isn’t the norm, course it isn’t. It’s rare. Sometimes kids push you over the edge, you know”.
Newsflash! You could do everyone (but especially your child) a favour and decide not to have them…
The point is, it should not happen. AT ALL.
Whenever I come across these stories I am always in two minds whether to write about them because they are already front page news. Because they are beyond horrible. But then I do. Because.
I wonder what kind of animal criminal does this kind of thing? This wretched child never had a bloody chance at life. Oh, wait – what about the mother, surely…. ? Alas, no.
After her death, Jessica was found to have at least nine injuries to her ribs as well as bleeding on the brain, a fractured skull and cuts to her face.
She was killed in the early hours of 21 November when Randall, allegedly trying to keep her quiet, threw her headfirst into the wooden arms of a settee (sofa) at the flat he shared with his child and her mother Sharon Park, who suffers from schizophrenia.
And how about this:
In police interviews Randall told officers of his resentment towards the child from the start of her life, how he had thought of killing her every day.
Like I said. Here is the deal. Some parents should not be allowed to have kids. Some parents should be seriously, deeply evaluated, because any child born to them is doomed. And instead of bleating to everyone how very important it is to have children and what monsters childfree people are, and criticizing those who decide not to parent, parents and wanna-be parents need to focus on how they might influence those bent on having kids to think seriously about not.
RIP Jessica. I’m sorry you had such lousy parents who gave you an even lousier life.

I have only this to say after just reading the excerpt. Any baby generator/plopper that resents having a embryo/fetus/baby in their life needs to have some sense to do one of two things. Either abort the pregnancy… or strongly consider giving the little poop cannon up to adoption. Why keep it and let it drive one to murder? Oh, wait… I’m sorry, I forgot… most of the human race seems to be lacking of sense.
Side note: Personally, I’m not a total advocate for abortion. My wife is more in favor than I am. I advocate it only in circumstances where pregnancy and/or childbirth would kill or seriously harm the mother. But I don’t press anyone to think like I do. It’s the woman’s choice, not the man’s.
Sorry, but I have one more comment from the peanut gallery. This will never happen, I’m sure. How about a law that any baby born to a mentally ill mother has to be immediately placed for adoption? Oh, wait… human rights activists are banging down my door for typing this…
i am a prevention, prevention prevention, kinda guy, i would rather there be no need for abortions, but that will only come to pass if everyone thought about the potential child, but saying that in case of accidents which do happen, i am all for the choice that the woman has.
but i dont like how some women consider abortion retroactive birth control, i would rather see them have tubal, use pills and potions to prevent it from happening in the first place.
(i am all for the right for the woman to choose, i am not saying ban it, just i wished it wasnt as needed as it is)
