Pair Who Let Child Starve to Death Go Home to New Baby.

Is it acceptable to leave parents in charge of a second child after they left their first child to starve to death? This, some might say, is a clear-cut instance where the government has a duty to deprive parents of the right to raise their children.

The Suown District Court recently suspended the sentence of a man identified as Lee on charges of child abuse after he and his wife failed to feed their three-year-old first son appropriately and left him to die.

You've got to be kidding!! Send them home to kill another child? It's obvious they are selfish bastards! Why let anohter child suffer at their hands?

From article...

Korean society is unduly tolerant of parents negligence of child due to the patriarchal tradition, where children are thought of as the property of their parents.

Well that says it all, wtf!

Sadly, life is cheap in that country. :(

There are areas in the higher-tier social circles there, where baby eating is considered a delicatessen for celebratory purposes.

Oh stop it, just because they sell their female off-spring into prostitution to finance the education of the males doesn't make them baby-eaters. That's a fallacy spread by certain _______________ .

It is NOT acceptable to leave parents in charge of a second child after they left their first child to starve to death. Where the hell is DCPS when you really need them, I forgot, they are never there when confirmed child abuse is going on, just the cases where there is a child who wants special attention who says they were abused but not really....It all make perfect sense to me now!
