Call this, BELATED JUSTICE if you will!!! From the Front Page Sections, translated…
A man, Bai, was displeased at how his not-yet-four-year-old son still wetted the bed and cried constantly, he’d beaten his son up, strangled him, threw him toward the floors, and found that his son was dead from his own abuse, he’d taken the child’s body to be disposed of in the mountains. “I really wanted my son to show up in my dreams, but he just, never came to me.”, as the police interrogated him, he’d started crying, yesterday he was charged with physical abuse causing death and disposing of the body.
The thirty-six year-old Bai had been sent to jail for substance abuse, after his wife gave birth to her child, she’d started serving her prison sentence too, the Hsinbei City’s Social Services Department placed the young boy into a foster home.
After Bai’s release, he divorced his wife, his wife took the daughter to live with her own parents; Bai took his own son out of foster care and lived with his new girlfriend at their rental place in Keelung, because he was under economical pressures, he was often in a foul mood. One evening six years ago, he’d found that his four-year-old son wetted his bed, and cried endlessly, he got angered, and punched his own young son’s stomach, lifted his son up high, strangled his son around the neck, then, slammed the child onto the floors; the girlfriend saw this, and attempted to deter him from abusing his own young son, he’d demanded his four-year-old child to march in place, the young child did what he was told, then, passed out all of a sudden, the girlfriend told him to take the child to the hospital to get treated, and, he, abused her severely.
At four in the afternoon the next day, Bai found that his son had stopped breathing, worried that the police might arrest him, and so, he’d, wrapped his son in quilt, then, rode out on his motorcycle to the industrial roads in the mountain side, to dump the body, he’d thrown his son’s body down a two-story-tall slope. After Bai disposed of his own young son’s body, he’d not stayed in one place for long, in May of last year, he was caught by the police for drug related charges in Taipei.
In the interrogations by the police after he was arrested, Bai stated, that he knew what he was arrested for, and as the officers inquired about where his son was, he’d said coldly, “He’s dead”, admitted to abusing his own young son to death, and, gave up the location of the body. But, as the police took his statement, he’d covered up his face and started crying hard, claimed, that he’d, used too much force in disciplining his young son, causing him to die, and stated, “I really wished that my son could come to me in a dream, but he’d just, never done that.”
As Bai’s father learned of his own grandson’s death, he’d started crying hard, chased after Bai and beaten him, hollering, “Give me BACK my grandson!”
The detectives and the police had the bulldozers go to the place where Bai told them where he’d dumped the body three times, but, the young boy’s corpse was still never found, nor did the quilt ever turn up, the police pointed out, that the dump happened five years ago, and, there were the landslides caused by the typhoons, and, garbage were, piled up at the place, that the land was completely, different now. The man in charge of the local borough testified, that the location was desolate, almost NOBODY passed by there, and the locals would dump their garbage at the spot, and there were, strayed dogs wandering there a lot too.
So, the young boy’s body was NEVER found, but this DEADBEAT father admitted to murdering his son with his abuse and strangulation, and, he will ALWAYS and FOREVER live, with HIS guilty conscience, even IF he’d come clean about what he’d done way back when, he will NEVER feel at ease, for murdering his own young child.
