5-Year-Old Breaks TV, Mother Murders Him

Wow, this is... beyond sad. So a hunk of metal and plastic is worth more than your own child? What on Earth was this woman's childhood like?!
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.
Then again, that's maybe just my jaded opinion- I had a similar incident of breaking a stereo when I was younger, I won't deny I got it hard- bad bruising, even some concussion. On what my experience of this sort of thing has provided, an accidental killing via beating is inevitable. It's sad, but inevitable.
R.I.P. kid.

Basic common sense, maybe... I mean, seriously though, what did she *think* would happen if she hit a 5 year old in the back/stomach repeatedly?The Plunk said:

Yeah, but not everyone has the experience and knowledge to not buy a Wii, I really wouldn't be that hard with them.Demoliboy2 said:
Apart from Wii jokes I don't really know what to say to this. Guess some people only think ten minutes after they act. Because really, wouldn't a normal slap be suffice if you really need to vent?
Now I'm not saying she should have, but it sure is a lot safer than hitting vital body parts with full force...
Interestingly, she's being accused of both murder AND manslaughter. One for hitting the boy hard enough to cause that damage, and one because she refused to take him to the hospital for five days (After which he died.)Arcane Azmadi said:
Not sure which charge goes with which action, though. Still...it's the first time I've heard of that happening.
Makes me ill. Let's all do the same to her! Punch her in the stomach, cause internal bleeding and leave her to suffer in front of a live audience! We can all laugh at her slow, painful demise. That would be wonderful if it happened, wouldn't miss it for the world.
Surely there's no defence for beating a child to death.
If a child is raised by a family who believe in smacking them when it's warranted then fair enough, but hitting them hard enough to cause internal injury? What the hell is wrong with some people?
Nice to see that there's a few jokes being made above, way to stay classy guys *thumbs up*

Alright... How to respond to this.
On one hand, people say we must examine the state and circumstances behind the parent.
And the second- condemn her, for clearly she should have known better.
The third way- So what? People killed for less, and humanity sucks.
Yep... going to have to go with third option. Hear me out now.
In the words of a comedian-
"There are many things, that you can point to, that humans, are not smart. But my personal favorite would have to be, that we had to invent the helmet. What was happening, apparently, is that we were involved in a lot of activities that were cracking our heads.
We chose not to avoid these activities but instead come up with some sort of device to help us to continue to enjoy, our headcracking lifestyle.
The helmet.
Even that didn't work, because enough people weren't wearing them, so we had to come up with the helmet law, which is even stupider because the idea behind the helmet law is to preserve a brain, who's judgement is so poor, that it doesn't even try to prevent the cracking of the head it's in!"

This is why I think hitting your child can be wrong >< We need to invent some sort of rage thing that we all get for free to vent out rage on
Punchbag, thats it

Well so much for my happy Wednesday.
There is absolutely no excuse for the woman's actions. Nothing is more valuable than a child's life and yet this woman placed a replaceable TV over her own child by acting the way she did. She deserves the full penalty of the law in this matter.
It isn't so much a matter of being a parent as it is being human. That much rage is a cue to just walk away. Punch a wall if you need to hit something. Hell, punch the stupid Wii. That would help get your rage down and destroy something better off not in your home.
This woman is going to have to go through the rest of her life with the knowledge that she killed her own son over a stupid tv. One would hope that some good might come of this and she works to help others avoid such situations.

There are already lots of parenting classes out there, a lot offered for free with government subsidies paying for it. If you are talking about making it a requirement, that would be a waste of time considering the number of people that would get missed as they get missed for everything else. Between illegal immigrants and people who don't just give a damn, that's a lot of people who won't get the training, and who will kill their child through neglect or abuse such as this. Sadly, short of licenses for people to have children, there really isn't going to be anything effective enough. And short of countries like China, I don't see any nation going to that extreme anytime soon.The Plunk said:
