Here comes, the follow-up, from yesterday, and the charge is, NEGLIGENCE HOMICIDE, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
The two-year-old boy, was found, starved to death, like a child in a refugee camp in an apartment in Taipei yesterday, the birthmother, Lin told the police yesterday when they’d called her in, that she’d given her son to her older bro..ther to look after, and said that her mother gave birth to a total of five children, and two of them died. The investigators felt greatly impacted, and they sent Lin and her cohabiting boyfriend into the D.A.’s office on death by abandonment charges.
The police investigated, that Lin was registered as a seriously handicapped individual, looked younger than her age, works in a bar in Zhongshan District in Taipei. She’s very young, and yet, had given birth out of wedlock, was a mother of two, the daughter she had was born prematurely last August, and died after seventy-one days, the two-and-a-half year old young boy was developmentally delayed, and was originally taken care of by Lin’s mother and aunt in Chiayi.
what it looked like…
The child’s uncle went up north to find a job, and took the child to Taipei too, and, lived with Lin and her cohabiting boyfriend. The three adult and the child were, cramped into a very small space, normally, Lin had, tossed the bread her boyfriend couldn’t finish as food for her own young son, and whenever the child started crying, he was, locked inside the bathrooms, she’d shown no care or concerns toward her own young son, the child went hungry for three whole days at a time.
Lin claimed, that her son didn’t have a good appetite as is, and had always been very thin, she’d asked her older brother to care for him, but, he’d stolen $8,000N.T. from them, and got away. As she’d arrived home from work two days ago, she’d found her son stopped breathing, she’d not known how to handle it, she’d called the owner of the bar where she’d worked for help, and, then, went out to eat with her boyfriend, and didn’t call it in until early in the evening.
The police reviewed over the surveillance and found, that two mornings ago, Lin returned home with her boyfriend after playing at the arcades, and they’d suspected that she was, trying to evade her responsibilities by blaming her older brother for not watching her son well enough, and the police will call her older brother, and her mother in for questioning too.
The police examined the scenes, and found the two-year-old with nothing on him, his limbs were, rigid, he was, curled up, like a fetus in the womb, and he was, DEAD, inside the bathrooms on the floor, with urine and feces all over his body, he weighed about only six kilograms. After the D.A. checked, they’d found the boy clearly, malnourished, and in order to clarify if there were, external forces that may have caused him to die, an autopsy will be conducted soon.
The paramedics who’d come to the calls sighed, that this sort of tragedies is still happening here in Taiwan. The lieutenant of the fire department posted, “Looking at how you were lying in the bathrooms, curled up, like you don’t want to get out of bed, you must feel very cold, without any covers on you, don’t blame your mother, she’s, just, way too young” and he’d, bought a box of cookies as offerings to the dead, hoping, the child’s soul can find peace, and can find a better family to be born in the next time around.
Yeah uh, the mother was, WAY too irresponsible, way too young, and, she’d not fed her own young child for THREE whole days, and, the woman should be charged with NEGLIGENCE HOMICIDE, and should NEVER be allowed to have ANY MORE children, but, the sad thing is, she would probably only get that slap on her wrist, for “murdering” her own young son.
This is still, currently happening, just so you all know………
