The other day, I heard a piece of news from TV. A newly born bady was thrown away by his father and was later found dead at the roadside when people found him. The baby was found several serious illnesses after he came to whis world. His father doesn't live a good life, so he thought he couldn't afford such a sick baby. Then he asked his relatives to take away the baby as far as possible and leave him alone at a roadside. He thought maybe somebody would take the baby and raise him. But unfortunately, when people found him in a bridge tunnel, he was already breathless. From the name card left on the baby by the father, the police caught the father and his relatives. The final punishment for him was staying in jail for one and a half year, and 6 months for other relatives. What do you think about this sad story?

Well yes that is a really sad story. How heartless can that father and the relatives can become to do that. How can they do taht to a new born sick child. If they dont have the money to raised and support the child, I believe that there are lots of agency that can help them. At least they try their best to save the child.

first it is so sad that the father doesnt have the enought courage to raise his child. but in contrary you can never blame him. the government should do something about this kind of mess. it is not good.

it is not a sad story, all i had is anger.. how can a father do this to his child?? what the F***k is wrong with him! Why so irresponsible.. he knows that he cant afford to have that baby and he is a poor Bas**Rd and yet he still had fun and have to deal with for nine months .. What if i do the same thing to him throw him outside or drown him.. or abandon him.. He should be in jail for he is a Psycho man!

It is indeed a sad story. I feel sad for the baby because he didn't live that long to see and experience what life is. even if he is sick, he has the right to experience what we experience. His father should have thought of having him adopted to the people who wants to adopt even if he is sick. why adopt if they do not want a sick child? They are really a bad people. And also it can be a bad thing to rely on your relatives. Because we will never know what they will do just in case this story did not happen.

It is another a bad news.These things are always happen in our daily life.Only we have known too fewer.This baby been born it isn't his wrong.It is his parents,they should check before he was born,then there will be no such things happened.Since born,they should charge.

Well I think it is in fact a sad story but I do not feel for the father. The father or his relatives could have taken the baby to a police station or a hospital where they knew the baby would be cared for. How in the hell did they expect someone to find the baby in a freakin tunnel? The cars that go by there would neve rhear a baby crying over the sound of te engines for peets sakes. I hope he does something bad and ends up in jail longer.

Extremely sad story. I don't know if the father had enough education or knowledge to know what was the proper thing to be done or not. He seems to have started with the right intentions but no sense at all.

That is so sad! What a terrible thing! Doesn't that guy know that you can drop a baby off at a hospital! There is no excuse to leave a newborn like that. What about the mother? Did he take it without her permission or was she in on it! I would have saved that baby, I wish I could have!

This is very sad. Unfortunately I think that this just shows how messed up society is right now. The father didn't feel he could afford to have such a sick baby. He is probably right, and there is nothing that he could do about that. I just makes me sad. He did the wrong thing, but I think it was with the right intentions. The punishment seems fitting. I'm sure he will punish himself for many years to come.
