Sometimes the news is just so depressing and appalling

quote:
(Cape Town) A lesbian couple has been found guilty in the murder of one of the women's son when he refused to call her partner "daddy". Their trial was told that Engeline de Nysschen beat the boy until he fell into a coma. Her partner, Hanelie Botha, the boy's birth mother, stood by and did nothing to stop the assault.

The court heard testimony from a woman and daughter who worked for the couple witnessed the attack, describing in detail how Nysschen demanded the toddler call her daddy and when he did not began battering him. An autopsy showed that Jandre Botha sustained a fractured skull, brain damage, broken legs, collarbone, hands and pelvis.

When they were arrested the women told police that the boy had slipped in the bath. A trauma expert told the court that the boy's injuries were similar to those of a person who had fallen from a two-storey building.

[...]

Both women will be sentenced in June.


I just don't understand people who can hurt little kids...

It's probably a combination of "might makes right" type of mentality as well as an irrational, fanatical hate towards that boy, or all males in general. Cruelty and sadism shocks and disturbs me.

Ummm.... I'm not sticking up for these people, "Heavy Sharper", but that's a pretty widespread smear. Almost racist, you could say. You might wanna edit that...

Whenever NDP Newbie comes back you always wonder, "OK, what's going to do it this time?"

I'm betting on this one.

Don't lets perpetuate the myth that lesbians are more likely than anybody else to hate men.

Jeez.

It is a racist comment. A person has no choice in being born as a Dutch-South African. I believe that is the meaning of the word "Boer".I heard that it is derived from a Dutch word for farmer.

Maybe he just wants a new handle and doesn't want to wait until another Name Change Day.

I bet he comes back as "I Heart Beijing".

And strangely, inexplicably, I bet babble lets him.

Yeah, she hated males so much she wanted to be called "daddy"... learn to think things through.

It just goes to show that everyone can commit evil no matter what group it is part of, whether majority or minority. Still, if I gambled I'd bet that anti-homosexual organizations will pick that in a way to show that homosexuality leads to killing kids and that homosexuals shouldn't be allowed to have kids.
