    Mother microwaves her baby . . .

    Wonder if placing her in a microwave would be 'just' punishment?

    Oh, Joshua - I'm sorry. How even more difficult stories like this will be for you and your wife from now on. ((HUGS))

    I agree - I don't understand this world sometimes. Couples like you and your wife wanting a child so badly and losing her - and to have another mother just carelessly murder their child. A newborn baby was found not too far from here yesterday - thrown in the trash. I know atleast a dozen families who would have taken that bay in a heartbeat.

    Atleast we know that God cherishes children and they've gone on to a much better place than this sin-riddled world.

    Sorry annsi, didn't mean to seem down in the dumps. It just chaps my hide that people do this. A girl in our church is staying with another family right now because her father abused her over the holidays. Why do people do this to their children, especially babies.

    No, I totally understand. I struggled with many years of infertility (3 of my kids were long fought for and it was only with my last that we finally had an easy time of not even trying), and it is so hard to see people who do not love their children or injure them in any way. What SO many of us wouldn't do to take that child and love it, nurture it and bring them up in the Lord. It's just sad what this world is like sometimes.

    People that abuse and/or kill children should be sterilized and beaten, and, if the situation is severe, hanged.

    Why is it that the worst of society oftentimes are the ones with the most children?

    Life truly is a mystery sometimes.

    And, the other woman in the story did the same to her child and received 5 years!!! Come on!!!:BangHead: Justice my foot!

    Yes, the woman is mentally ill.

    Yes, she should still be executed anyway.

    All murderers and sex offenders should be executed.

    This absolutely breaks my heart! As someone who is struggling to get pregnant it makes me so angry to hear of things like this. I just don't understand how someone could do something so cruel to a precious baby!

    I would have to agree with Joseph's stand on punishment!

    Joshua,

    It is a shame that God blesses those that truly do not deserve to be blessed . . .

    I am not talking about works based salvation, but I am talking about our rightful (and holy) responce to God blessing us in our lives.

    They are mentally ill . . . but, they are still guilty.

    My are we quick to play judge, jury and executioner.

    The police don't know what killed the baby, who killed the baby or whether there was any motive.

    The baby died of high heat internal injuries with no external burns and from that the police suspect the involvement of a microwave and arrested the mother on suspicion of murder.

    They have ruled out hyperthermia, open flame, hot water or heating pads.

    It sounds like this case is far from closed and any guilt or innocence of the mother is far from determined.

    I surely hope you are correct and it turns out being something else that killed this poor child. I'm having trouble understanding how anyone could do this to any child!

    I am glad that God has blessed this preacher in Ireland who surely does not deserve His blessing.

    This woman is another poor sinner, acting tragically like - well, another poor sinner.

    This is sickening, and almost broght me to tears when I heard it. If this in fact is true, the "new" nature is glad this child is with our Lord, and prays for the mother's salvation, while the "old" nature would like to see her in an adult sized microwave set at 10% for 12 hours.

    I wasn't suggesting that the mother didn't do this by microwave. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. Maybe it was a microwave, maybe it wasn't. Based on what is reported in the article, we don't know the answer to any of those questions.
