Dad Tells Son, Two: 'Stab Mommy'

March 16, 2007 8:22am CST
Police in the United States say a man arrested for allegedly stabbing his wife had handed a knife to their two-year-old son and told him: "Stab Mommy." Fermin Rodriguez, 21, attacked his 17-year-old wife after accusing her of cheating on him, Connecticut police said. After slashing and stabbing the woman multiple times, Rodriguez then handed the knife to his son telling him: "Now you stab Mommy." Police would not say whether the boy complied with his father's directive, said the Connecticut Post newspaper. Rodriguez was charged with first-degree assault, first-degree reckless endangerment, first-degree unlawful restraint and threats. The wife, Keyschla Rodriguez, was taken to a hospital for treatment of stab wounds to her chest, face, arms and legs. Fermin Rodriguez was being held on a £180,000 bail bond. (from the yahoo hompage)

Every day we hear the most awful things about what adults and parents do to children. This is another terrible example. I hope they give him a stiff jail sentence.

This is a very sad story. I'm so sorry for the husband because I know that he's just so distraught because of his wife's infidelity that's why he had done a band thing like that. I'm so sad for the two year old son too because his family is already broken, he may never know it now because he's still too young but you can never bring back his lost family. This is really sad. I just hope the little boy will be taken care of and will still grow up to be a good man with a good future.

OMG this makes me so sick to my stomach... Like it wasn't bad enough for his son to see his father do that but then to ask him to do it... wow... That father should never see his child again.. I hope they get help for the child.. Hopefully that wont affect him for his entire life..

Wow. Talking about over the edge. I can think of many ways to get rid of an alleged cheating gf & you don't have to stab them. How about... "I saw you all over Bob yesterday. So you are watching the kid on Friday while I go out with your sister & Saturday when I go out with that Jackie girl that you hate because she is prettier than you." =)
