Baby boy dies from abuse

Wouldn't you make threads about more 'important' things, not that this isnt important, but its an isolated incident. Given how many times it happens around the world, wouldn't it be more suited to a general thread about the overall crime, rather than discussing one selected incident. I could make a thread everytime a car crash happened, whats the difference between them all? Or I could make a thread specifically about car crashes, that would serve more useful for discussion.

I just dont see much point of making a thread like this and talking about this particular crime, when it happens so frequently on the news and so on.

this is as important as anything else, its an isolated event but it highlights things and events just like it and the fact that events like it are increasing.
Nothing wrong in using an isolated event to start a topic, the event is used as an example and then the debate can expand form there

Sad and all too common. this is why I don't even watch the news anymore, I cant stand to see any of it. We had a sad case here not long ago where the child was in the grandmothers custody and the mom wasn't allowed near him but she did and within 30 mins hurt him by putting him in scalding hot water and then neglecting the burns other than to put BUTTER on them.... ugh, just sickening.
