A mother drowned her one year old baby daughter in a bucket live on Skype while her boyfriend watched from Britain.

Re: Discipling your child - sick

Oh deary me. Spelling people. Are we talking about one who follows Christ (like a God botherer) or the (relatively) milder form of rendition, which would be disciplining?

Oddly, my parents used to say to me as a child they wished they'd had done the same thing

You should have put a better warning than just sick!

All kinds. There are some very ignorant people in the world, with extremely parochial world views, who are unable to extrapolate potential consequences from actions.

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

God that's absolutely awful I really can hardly believe it.

I mean who the hell thinks up a thing like that? And to sit there on skype with your boyfriend, thinking of ways to discipline your child - the baby you gave birth to - and decide, together, two alleged adults, that the best thing is to get a bucket, put water in it and plunge your baby's head in it??? ... I mean wtf? Disgusting. Poor poor baby .

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

And if that's not bad enough the British and Norwegians will probably spend hundreds of thousands keeping these two in prison for the rest of their lives. Bring back the death penalty I say. They don't deserve to live.

Rest in peace, little one.

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

"Bring back the death penalty"

The death penalty wouldn't have prevented this murder. There wasn't an intention to kill the child, so it wouldn't have been a deterent.

"Drown the bitch"

How would that help?

What's important is to find out how, in a couple of supposedly civilised countries, something so barbaric can happen. How were this couple so monumentally stupid? Why wasn't the child on some protection register? Where were the support mechanisms to help parents who don't understand what discipline is nor how it would apply to a one year old?

Norway having some of the strongest (some would say invasive) child protection laws, how did this happen?

Disciplining a baby by (maybe accidentally, through idiocy) killing it = bad
Disciplining the parents by killing them = good.

Have I got that right?

exactly, the only way to prevent this is to have better education. so that parents can apply water-boarding techniques in a safe and controlled manner.

(too soon, i know)

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

It will help by NEVER giving them the chance to do it again when they get out of jail in 8 years' time. They didn't mean to kill her so they say, but whether that is the truth remains to be seen. I doubt the bucket was just sitting there waiting to be used, but if it was then that's even worse as it suggests they'd done this before. And what was a 1 year old doing up at 3am in the morning in the first place?

Why should the child have been on a protection register if nothing's ever happened to her before?

And how is education going to help unless you mandate that every person having a child takes a course in the do's and don'ts of child rearing. Perhaps we need to say people can only have children once they do such a course and prove to the authorities' satisfaction they know how to look after a child. Isn't that pretty much what couples wanting to adopt have to do? Of course, it used to be the family - grandmothers, aunts, sisters who passed on their knowledge of child rearing, but the attitude today seems to be "your way is old fashioned and I know best". Obviously they didn't.

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

This is a report in the Torygraph based on a report in the Sun toilet paper. A quick Google of the headline reveals a bunch of news reports all linking back to the one in the Sun.

Given the recent press about the integrity and veracity of journalists and management at News International shouldn't we be taking all this with a decent sized pinch of sodium chloride.

More to the point this thread appears to be occupied by a lot of Daily Mail readers - mainly women who wear too much make up.

Cheers,
Nick

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

Utter drivel.

Perhaps you haven't noticed but babies do not come with a user manual. You get what you're given and you do your best and make things up as you go along - which is what the human race has been doing for the last half a million years give or take. We got a book called "Your Baby's First Year". 2 weeks after my 4.5 year old was born we were ready to throw it in the bin.

All the courses in the world are not going to prepare you for dealing with a sick baby when you are ill yourself, wondering what to do when baby refuses to take a bottle, realising too late that you left clean nappies at home, dealing with a tantrum.

Nor is any course going to prepare you for the joy of holding your newborn child for the first time and enjoying those little moments that will never be repeated and you will never be able to catch on a photograph like just sitting together with a 4 year old and doing a jigsaw or a lego model together or reading a bedtime story or realising your child is getting older and more independent all the time and there is nothing you can do but surf the wave.

Cheers,
Nick

Re: Disciplining your child - sick

A more informative story (how did that happen?) from the daily wail. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...hes-Skype.html

It happened in October. She was her second child. The first has been taken from her.

Strange. A search on news.google.no for ""Yasmin Chaudhry" reveals nothing. Other links to the story show that it originates from IANS - Indo-Asia News Service.
