Comments

I couldnt’ get very far into the Korean baby starving article without feeling sick to my stomach. Now that I’m a mother, I can’t read/hear/watch violence and abuse to children without having a visceral reaction.
Whether the parents are negligent or murderous, a child died, and it’s awful.

I agree Mrs. R, though I don’t have children. Whatever happened, it is still devestating.

Even if the baby had some condition where she couldn’t gain weight, they were still negligent for not getting the proper care for her. And instead of grieving the loss of their daughter, they fled from authorities. Whatever the case is, they should be charged.
