Boy killed for wetting the bed

There are many solutions proposed for children who wet the bed, but this one won't appear in any parenting book - prevent them drinking anything so they won't produce any liquid.

Jonathan James of Dallas has a night-time problem, so his father and stepmother decided to punish him by with-holding water and forcing him to stand in front of the window with the sun beating down on him. Even when he had soemthing stuck in his throat he was forbidden to drink.

When he eventually collapsed and was taken to hospital, the doctors were simply told "he's sick".

This is a prime example of people who should never be allowed near children. Do they just hate kids, are they mentally ill, or just naturally nasty? And does it matter?

Read the who distressing story here.

Slightly luckier was a 9-year-old who was locked in a shed overnight by Mr and Mrs Arthur Warren of Greenville, Virginia; he was staying with them while his parents worked nights, and decided the best way to cure a bit of night-time incontinence was keep him out of the house altogether.

See here for the lowdown on this one.

What is it about people who mistreat children?

I can honestly say that I know not a single boylover or girl-lover would act in such a way.
