A 21-year-old mother that was suffering from mental health problems and trying to paint her flat, let a couple babysit her 2-year-old son so she could finish redecorating her flat, she assumed her son would left in the right hands for those upcoming weeks as she has no reason to assume otherwise. A month later that very same child was lying in a hospital in a coma, after having received 10 severe blows to the head and 70 injuries over his entire body. Moments later the toddler died due to his severe injuries to the head. The couple was arrested and has been sentenced to a life-long sentence in prison.

I have read about terrible things, but this must be by far one of the most terrible things I've ever read about. These people should not be locked up in jail, but they should be shot. People like that should not be walking on this planet and the world would be a lot better without this kind of people. I do believe that the 21-year-old mother despite here suffering from mental health issues, should have still visited the couple more often to check up on her son. Eventhough I hold no grudge for the mother of the child but only deep sympathy I do think she should have had hold more responsibility over her child.
