What drugs can do to you, and yet, you still, can’t quite quit this bad habit??? From the Front Page Sections, translated…
Couldn’t Quit His Habits, His Parents Finally Called the Police on Him, the Infant Cried Unstop, with Soiled Diaper, They Were at a Deadlock for Three Hours, Before the Infant Was Rescued
Lin was Reported by His Parents for Drug Abuse, as the Officers Came, He’d Taken His Own Month-Old Son Hostage, at a Deadlock with the Police; the Infant Boy Cried Endlessly, and Lin Kept Complaining, in the End, the Officers Used the Talks on How to Love His Children Right, to Get Lin to Relax, and the Moment Lin Let Go of His Own Son, the Officers Grabbed the Male Infant, to Get Him Out of Danger. The Man in Charge of the Local Borough Who Bore Witness to the Three-Hour Long Ordeal Said, “It Was Like the Hostage Negotiations in a Movie”.
The police found, that the 33-year-old man, Lin had been addicted to substances long term, had threatened to hack his own parents before. He and his girlfriend had a baby boy at the end of March, they’d moved in with his parents in Zhongshan District of Taipei; on the 25th of last month, Lin’s parents found him abusing substances in their home, and called the police for help.
As the officers arrived, Lin was lying on the bed, with his arms around his son, his thighs, on top of the infant’s calves, with the paraphernalia and amphetamine at the table; Lin’s girlfriend was crying next to him. As Lin saw the uniformed officers approached, he’d become emotionally, hollered at them, “Don’t take my son away!”, the officers didn’t dare make a move, and can only try to soothe him.
Lin claimed, “I’m not high!”, and immediately called for help from the person in charge of the borough, Tseng; as Tseng arrived, she saw the police and Lin were at a deadlock, with the infant crying hard, with the diaper that he was wearing, overflowing, she’d first tried to calm Lin down, asked him, “Shall we change him?”. But Lin became hesitant, unwilling to let go of his own son.
The woman in charge of the local borough helped the police convince Lin for over an hour, Lin was still, unmoved, and still used his own son as “hostage” in the negotiation, the police decided on a change of tactics, they’d sent the officer, Chang who has two children of his own go into the room, and sit by the bed, and shared his experiences of childcare with Lin, and had him be Lin’s audience to hear him pour his heart out.
Lin kept pouring his heart out, and Chang kept soothing him using, “You love your child so”, and after a little over an hour’s worth of conversations, Chang asked Lin, “Can you hand me your child to look after?”, Lin was doubtful, “will you?”, Chang replied, “I’m a father of two, why wouldn’t I?”, then, lay down a towel, to guide Lin, to put down his own young son.
Lin let go of his defenses, put down his son, Chang saw the opportunity, grabbed the infant, rushed out of the room, and the other officers rushed in, subdued Lin.
After his arrest, Lin stated, that he’d worried that nobody will look after his young son that was why he’d taken his own son hostage, “I did everything for my son”, the officers charged Lin with drug charges; the Social Services Department was called to intervene, they’d given Lin’s infant son to his parents to look after.
Tseng said, that it was really scary and tense on the day, thankfully, the officer used his patience, and wit too, to successfully rescue the young boy, “The whole thing was like in the movies”.
And so, this is still, very BAD parenting, this LOSER took his own young son hostage, because he was high, and, he’d not only put his own life in danger, he’d also, put his own young infant son’s life in danger too, but thankfully, this didn’t end tragically.
