5-Year-Old Breaks TV, Mother Murders Him

[standokan]

I once had a giant television fall on me because of my gamecube.

But that doesn´t even start to compare with this.

 

[KezzieZ]

Wow... Now I definitely know that if I have kids, do not raise them like mine raised me...

Also, disgusted that she didn't take the child to the hospital for five days. I can't imagine the amount of pain that child would have been in leading up to his death. And if you don't know anatomy, it seems like his ribs may have broken and punctured his internal organs slightly. The woman had a working week to save her child's life, and she didn't do it.

Just read this on a proper journalist website, not MSNBC, and here's some extra info.

"lacerating his pancreas and intestine in the process" That's basically injuries akin to a car crash.

"The boy vomited and complained of agonising pain for five days before Crawford decided to seek medical help, fearing she would be arrested if she took him to hospital." And as I imagined, agonizing pain. The only people in history to have suffered as much as this child suffered, lived before we discovered leeching. People in hospital are dying, but they at least get morphine.

And that's why the law is going to throw the book at this woman as hard as they can. And I support them in it after reading the child suffered so much and could have been saved.

EDIT: The child eventually died of an infection, which possibly means the doctors didn't know about the internal injuries early enough to prescribe an anti-biotic/anti-septic. And if she denied the hospital staff permission to do an MRI, they could definitely charge her with murder. Which would explain the murder charge and the manslaughter charge.

Whoa, seriously? This story is more messed up than I thought, which is a pretty bad sign considering I already had the basic info on this article of the woman beating a 5-year-old child bad enough to kill him through internal injuries.

That poor kid... I totally agree with you, notimeforlulz. This woman needs an immensely harsh punishment for leaving her child to suffer and die just because she didn't want to get in trouble for hurting him in the first place. She probably wasn't intending to murder the kid, but it's still a cold-blooded murder for leaving him in pain; I'm not sure if recovery would've been a high probably with those sorts of serious injuries, but at least the kid could have had some sort of chance or a basic amount of mercy.

nothing unusual in america

some people still think 911 and some imaginary groups are real

9/11 really happened, mate. Dunno what planet you live on.

OT: You know, I am very angry that I'm not shocked by this. What does that say about the world I live in?

This "mother" deserves the worse punishment she can get.

Im saying how supid people can be, these kind of people probably watch fox news all day, maybe the kid broken the TV just minutes before news hour

That the mother lives in bronx is probably not very surprising.


And with that "real" question i meant (you should have figured) "beliving into official statements"

These official statements being...?

I was reffering to the example that most of these weird gaming things happen obviously in a poor situation with either psychologically ill or psychologically malfunctioned people, this is mostly

This kind of stuff doesn't happen in a normal family, normal house.

With the 911 example, i tried to point out that it was a event that hurt the weak ones the most, the majority, a false flag operation to make those people even more dumbed down, they're just the victim; and there are a lot of poor and depressed people in USA, there's a higher chance of people going nuts.

What saddens me the most, that people mourn about something that was forged, faked, scamed, living with fear over something non-existant, or orchestrated.

 

[Razgrizaces]

I believe broke a TV once by trying to plug in cables (turned it around too much and it fell over)... I believe that was like when I was 7. I'm still alive... wow some parents... Seriously.

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

The child was 5... Did she expect the kid to know how to handle a current-gen console at that age?

At any rate you're instructed to use the wrist-strap, even adults, and when you let a 5-year old near a Tv that's apparently more important than life you should at least take SOME precautionary meassures.

I say it's her fault the TV broke, her fault the child broke and her own dam fault her own life is breaking. She's a flippin' wrecking ball!

On a more serious note: I never condone child violence, unless the kid's proven to be a sociopath and is trying to molest/murder some poor, innocent creature... ok, so maybe not so serious after all, but still a fair point >_>

 

[faefrost]

Yet another tragic example of Wii related video game violence. I think we ought to be lobbying our congressmen to insure that all Wiimotes be registered with the FBI and to preserve local governments abilities to ban them or arrest kids for "carrying".

 

[monkey_man]

Well, parents are only human too. It's awful and wrong what happened. But I can understand the rage that causes this stupid behavior. I mean, flinging your Wiimote in the tv is nearly the dumbest thing you can do with it, and it also means the kid neglected the instructions, as everyone does. But beating him to death is too much punishment. (Note, I do not approve of the mother's reaction, but I can understand it. It's a shame it got out of hand, for both the poor child and the mother.)

 

[JediMB]

That said, I do believe this is the most tragic incident to spring from the console's existence.

Hard to say if this or the single mother who died from water poisoning in an attempt to win a Wii for her two children is more tragic.

 

[1337mokro]

Wait when did the Wii cause this tragedy? The mom wasn't beating on her child because he broke the TV with a Wii mote no it was because he broke the TV. I can assume she would have gone to physically abuse him to the point of death whether it was a baseball or any other thing that broke the TV.

The point remains that the mother flipped her shit and assaulted her child. At least two consecutive blows with enough force to be lethal. Rather than shrugging and telling the kid this is coming out of his allowance, thus disciplining the child the correct way and teaching him about stuff costing money and actions having consequences.

This is why I think the pregnancy license from Demolition man is not a bad idea at ALL!

 

[Rewdalf]

I'm not surprised.
I'm not surprised!

Quit putting the fucking emphasis on video games, and pursue the real fucking problem!
OKAY, FINE! Take away gaming from everyone. Lets see what happens. Crazy fucked up people like that will still kill their children, except it'll be for other reasons! IT'S BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE THAT AREN'T RIGHT IN THE HEAD! People like that are not fit to be parents, nor should they have been left alone with a child. They need to be barred from having children unless their brain, or life, or emotions or whatever are under control, because when they do break down, they're only hurting innocent people, or children in this case...

Video games aside, this is tragic. Oh, she didn't mean to kill her child, but she values a television enough to fight for it? No. She needs to either be put away, or barred from human contact.

 

[Monsterfurby]

Am I the only one who's not surprised? If a kid breaks a TV, their parents WILL beat ten cans of shite out of them.

R.I.P. kid.

Honestly, I know not a single family where the parents consider beating their children, for whatever reason. Might be that European liberal ideology, but despite having a lot to do with parents and their children, I have never once experienced anyone showing any more sympathy for the concept than sheer and utter disgust.

(I am of course aware that some parents do think it's an option - it just hasn't happened with people I know. When I spent a year in the US in 2005, I was somewhat shocked about how hierarchic/patriarchic families were built there. Maybe it has something to do with that, no idea and not saying that it's a national thing. For one, I was in Southern Maryland in 2005, and the situation will probably be the same in Europe's deepest redneck country...)

(Captcha Utowne Ideology? Interesting.)

Things can be replaced, people cannot.

I'm afraid I disagree with this standalone statement, but yes, murder one's child over a TV is ridiculous. But people can sure as hell be replaced.

 

[Ashcrexl]

and suddenly, the image of clumsy children flailing around with wiimotes is no longer remotely funny

 

[jyork89]

Actus reus, mens rea. To be guilty of the action one must be guilty of the mind.

If she didn't intend to kill him then it's not murder. I am sure she didn't. However she did intend to assault him so that is assault on a minor, and his death was a direct result from her actions therefore manslaughter or whatever you Americans call it (second degree murder?)

 

[darkcommanderq]

I blame the wii. The designers should have foreseen someone getting killed over their device. /end sarcasum.

But seriously, im not surprised this had not happened sooner.

 

[Akexi]

Words fail me in this incident. I cannot fathom the mentality of a person who would beat their child so severely over a broken television.

 

[Ironman126]

I wonder if she'll commit suicide before she's convicted of child abuse and second degree murder. I know i would if i killed my innocent kid (assuming i had a kid).

This is still pretty freaking insane, though. How the hell hard did she hit the kid? But to be honest, i'm not terrible surprised. Bad parents are everywhere, some stupider than others, unfortunately.

 

[MorganL4]

Hitting a child FOR WHATEVER REASON is wrong..... on so many levels I can't even count them. Hitting them hard enough to induce fatal injuries is just horrific..... Intent to kill or not that woman deserves some serious time in prison... and a VERY long and in depth anger management course.

 

[thereverend7]

Whats With parent's killing their kids over increasingly retarded things? It doesn't seem that long ago that I was reading about a woman killing her baby over farmville and now this?

I think someone a good 5-7 times bigger/stronger then her should hit her "in the back and in the stomach" (hard enough to cause internal bleeding? jesus, woman...) and see how much she likes it.
