Father describes devastation at Baby P´s death

The father of Baby P described today how he tried so hard to be at his son´s bedside. Ones there, he found out he was too late and the boy was already dead. The hearing will be sentenced tomorrow when the two men and the baby´s mother are expected to be sent to prison for a long time. The real father of the boy heard about his son´s condition when his ex-wife and the mother of his child called and told him they were on the way to the hospital and that Baby P was experiencing breathing difficulties. He described in court how their marriage broke up when Peter was five months and the last time he looked after his son. At that moment, the little boy had been subjected to more than eight months of violent abuse at the hands of his stepfather.

Reaction

Some things are not meant to be understood by people who do not have any mental problems. This is one of them. You may wonder why on earth the men abused a baby but if you know the answer to this question, you should get in touch with a psychiatrist to do a check-up. The men definitely had some issues and had some huge mental problems but can you use that to make up for the fact that toy killed an innocent baby, one that was not even yours in the first place. I think a baby is like an unwritten canvas. They did not have the time to screw things up and they definitely do not deserve to die but I think you can all agree on that.
