I don't care if its the Daily Mail. Sitting here crying for this little boy (warning: distressing news story)

It just defies any instinct a person has to protect a newborn, what is wrong with the world.

I'm sorry if this upsets anyone I'm just in shock at the cruelty

I have no idea but if the names that have been "released" on Facebook are correct, I would hazard a guess that they are not.

still appalling
mind boggling

i dont want to know any more

Oh my God

It's not "competitive misery" as someone so charmingly put it. I read this story unwittingly and really wish I hadn't. Sometimes with something so awful, you almost need someone to validate how terrible it is, to stop you thinking it over by yourself and dwelling too much. Poor, poor baby

Poor little mite. I can't believe they have been bailed either but maybe the Police were hoping someone would get to them first going from what MissRee has posted. Sick fuckers. I was actually sick when I read that earlier today.

It is possible that both were arrested but one or other will be completely exonerated. This is why vigilante action is wrong.

The public does not have the full story, nor know if any third parties beyond those bailed may be involved.

It is a pity police have to divert effort, from collecting evidence to identify and and prosecute the perpetrators, into dealing with vigilantes and others who act before facts have been gathered.

I think that though it's upsetting it's important that people talk about this sort of stuff and that it's widely reported. The more aware people are that this happens more frequently than we'd like to think means that people may be more aware of warning signs and report concerns.

I read this article in the paper whilst i was at work. I had to go to the toilet and compose myself. Should know better than to read the likes. Fucking animals.

I am with gordy on this one.

We don't know the details, we don't actually even know who was involved. The mother could have had postnatal psychosis, or the father might have done this while the mother desperately tried to protect the baby. Both might be arrested at this point in time while facts come to light.

I hate the publication of details of these kinds of cases. Is it necessary? I want to know that people are charged and kept off our streets and away from children if they are capable of this, but I don't want to know the details of this side of life, it doesn't protect any other child from this and I wish my children weren't growing up in a world where they could read about this freely. If anything the sheer amount of coverage these cases get and the number of them may make some sick people realise they have company in behaving as they do.

Vigilantism makes no sense to me. We have a legal system, this case is in hand. I don't mind it being reported but there is no need for this type of detail nor geographical information etc. Let the authorities do their jobs.
