Some people just dont care about children. or dont know how to. Neglect is essentailly the same as abuse so they'll be facing charges.

I didn't hear anything about this story. What's the story with this? Can someone fill me in or point me in the direction of the article?

You'll be suprised at how the baby really died. The bruises the were talking about probably never existed. :

Yeah imagine we aren't the only ones who blamed the parents after the way the report was worded.

After reading the story, i see that it was as a result of pneumonia and not foul play. I didn't read the story when it broke, so i could not formulate an opinion about it. Vut uts really sad to hav to experience something like this. my deepest condolences to the family.

But why is it that the media especially express and newsday have to be pushing the story in a bad way making the partents look bad. Does very thing so have to be about making money shame on the media

Well, bad news sells papers. People like to hear bad news. That's just the mentality of us in Trinidad. They wouldn't sell as much papers if they were to put something less shocking in the papers. it all about the mighty dollar. Whether they have the full story or not. They'll word it to sound like a big conspiracy. And people, being so eager to read and believe the worst will goble it up.

On the newsday first page full page with this and hear the head line "HOW DID BABY ALEEMNA DIE" it have alot of other more pressing issues like the 2 million dollar flag murders but they so want to make it look like its foul play

I am really sorry but parents have to know any little common cold and fever should be carried by the doctor immediately as they cannot tell you how they are feeling so you cannot just suggest and leave it so. Also do not leave babies sleeping on the bed with you atleast drag the crib to the bedside where they will be sleeping right next to you . I am sorry to the family. my deepest sympathy.
