5月23日 Baby JusticeThey found him buried under the swing set in the children's park. Only his foot covered in an expensive sneaker was visible. He was three years old, and someone had smothered him and buried him in the park he often played in. The police artist had drawn a picture of him and named him "Baby Justice." Every local news station placed his picture on the TV every night for a week and no one claimed him. No 3 year old boys were reported missing by grieving parents. Then police received a call from outside the local area, from a woman who claimed the boy looked like her nephew. Local authorities located the mother, a homeless 23 year old at a local "party house." You guessed it, she was on drugs. At first she denied knowing anything about the boy in the park; but, finally it came out. She didn't know who the father was, she had been thrown out of her mother's home with the child she said she had never wanted, and the "party house" had thrown her out because she wasn't taking care of the boy. (Either druggies have a conscious or they got tired of taking care of her son.) So she took him to the park one evening and they fell asleep there. When she woke up, she decided to kill him. She says she smothered him and revved him once, then smothered him until he died and she dug a hole with her hands in the sand and buried the boy under the swing-set. Now here is what gets me--the grandmother who threw them out of her home must have recognized the pictures on TV but she didn't come forward. She said that she knew that the woman wasn't taking care of the boy, but she didn't report it. The druggies in the "Party house" knew about the abuse and didn't report it. The woman's sisters knew about the abuse, but didn't report it, and they must have recognized the pictures also. No one did anything to help this child, no one came forward to report the abuse nor identify the body. But, now that it's all out in the open, the relatives want to bury the boy (citizens of the neighborhood where the boy was found in the park wanted to bury him in a marked grave); but, the relatives are up in arms. Why weren't they up in arms for the week before the child was identified? They didn't try to help the mother so that she didn't have to murder the child to get rid of him. They must have known her situation, but no one helped her. The district attorney said she won't receive the death penalty because there is no evidence of plotting to murder. What the heck would you call it? The whole story is a real tragedy, but where is the "justice" for Baby Justice? I don't see any here. If this woman didn't want this child why didn't she give the baby up to adoption or why didn't anyone alert authorities so that the child would have been taken into foster care? I just do not understand the mentality of our society anymore. And, the police want to know if the people who knew about the situation and did nothing to report it should be prosecuted. I may sound cruel; but, Yes, they damn well should be. 引用通告引用此项的网络日志
