In this article it talks about a 24 year old man that was convicted of killing his newborn son. The kid had an autopsy done showing evidence of broken ribs and cranial bleeding that an expert would have testified stemmed from shaken baby syndrome.
This article connects to my Creative Writing class. I have been writing about how younger adults don't deserve children. This is a perfect example of way. Young adults like this should be punished and beaten as the kid was to teach them a lesson instead of sending them off to prison for 20 years.
This event affects me due to having a four year old niece. Like I couldn't see her father beating her brutishly and being sent to prison for 20 years. This really bothers me because, you never know how many parents beat their child while they are young and never get caught/ punished for their actions.

The authors point of view is very emotional due to the first sentence being, "Shane Daniel Walls lived 120 days, much of that time in hospitals because of his prematurity and then from the injuries inflicted by his father." This shows how pathetic the society has gotten.
I think that this event is a tragedy and it shouldn't have happened. No one should ever treat a child like this, especially their own. It was really sad to read about but you wrote about it well and I enjoyed reading your blog, it was easy to follow and informative. I like how at the end of the blog you used the quote "Shane Daniel Walls lived 120 days, much of that time in hospitals because of his prematurity and then from the injuries inflicted by his father." I think that showed how upsetting it was. Overall your blog was really good and the only suggestion that I make is that you proofread before you post. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I don't agree with this situation either. Just think if that was your kid in the position! Its crazy how back this society is getting. Next time I will proof read and add pictures.
