But who so shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

What is wrong with people. Have we raised a society of kids that only care about themselves?

The thing about situations like this one is that you only hear the bad that is going on around us, never the good. It is unfortunate that this happened to an innocent child, and the father will never truly pay the price for what he did. I am a father of two at the age of 24 and would never dream of doing such.

Is it really news when you are a good parent? I'm glad you are a fine man, and there are many in every community. But is it news when you go to work and are a good parent? Don't blame the reporters for the 'bad' news.

I never once blamed reporters! I am just saying that bad news always spreads faster than the good.I was making a point, not everyone in there twenties is just thinking about themselves. Everyone makes decisions in life, good or bad and who's to say it was in the way they were raised?

Is any one aware of whether or not there were witnesses who saw the man saking the baby? Or is this just a accusation without any witnesses? It would seem to make such a claim someone would have observed this.

I personally know the family and he was taking care of the child while the mother was out, so no there were no "witnesses" however its quite obvious who did it.
