The girl had been in critical condition since being rushed to the hospital by her mother after the incident. The father is being held in custody by prosecutors and could face homicide charges.

How could the father do something like that!?! Rest in peace, little girl. [sniff]But then, I won't say the father was evil in what he did, either. Heartless, sure, but not evil. What he did was not "wrong." In some cultures, that sort of thing is actually considered okay, since female lives are worth so little. I absolutely hate the man, but maybe it looked okay in his eyes. Meh. Before anyone calls me "stupid," or "heartless," or "naïve," I am NOT siding with the father. I just don't think his act should be considered so horrible. After all, in the end it was just one (innocent, cute, soft) life. Think about how many people are killed each day on the battlefield, from murder, all those. Can this one life really mean so much? (Utilitarian view, maybe, but that's how I see it.) April 28, 2009 getboba@ xxeternalxxsufferingxx@ wrote: What on earth are you talking about? Your logic is very, very strange. The father's actions were absolutely WRONG, even if certain cultures commit the same atrocities. This one life does matter.

Your 'logic' is like that of Josef Stalin, who said "One death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic." It's people like you that allow this sort of thing to happen without commensurate moral indignation. If you don't care about the value of one life, at what number of lives do you draw the line and begin to care? 10? 20? 100? 1,000? Your moral and cultural relativism is what's wrong with societies these days--a cultural practice is not right because it's cultural! We have to judge culture by higher moral standards--otherwise, you could say everything about American culture or Chinese culture or Taiwanese culture is "right" because it exists!We must care about the value of one life, because life is intrinsically valuable. The very fact that thousands of people die in today's wars, famines, and other horrible events does not mean that those peoples' lives are not valuable! It means that we, the people of the world, are doing a terrible job of protecting and preserving life! Using your utilitarian view of life, we should not even punish rapists or murderers, because they are not really hurting anyone, they are just playing with statistics! You need to spend sometime thinking about your views. What if you were the baby or even the mother? October 23, 2009 resses89@ sos@ wrote: It's easy. The Chinese believe that A boy will bring status. He will continue the family line. Which in turn brings about the high mortality rate of baby girls in china. It isn't uncommon to see a dead baby in the garbage or millions being neglected in foster homes. Don't hate them for their lack of understanding of how precious a life is and that their way of thinking is wrong. They cannot help the fact that their country is over populated and will surely some day go into turmoil. For these people will not only answer for their sins, but will repent ten fold when they die.Let this man speak to God first. How would he be able to continue his life after this deed?

This is the thing the 10 month old baby girl died of being boiled alive (by her own father) she didn’t c it coming. I’m not saying that dying on the battle field is anymore or any less of what happened to the baby but this was a cruel act no matter what place country state culture YOU ARE NOT TO KILL YOUR OWM CHILD NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Instead, they all think that you are a heartless fool. Oh, sure, it's alright if a baby girl dies for no good reason. She's just a statistic. Well, guess what? She's not a statistic. She had a life, and it could have been a long one. It could have made a difference. But thanks to the cruelness of her own father, that life is gone. She was dumped into a pot of boiling water...and you say that since some cultures don't care, that this is okay?? And yes, we're not stupid. We know wars kill people. We know that murders are horrible. But again, this one life means something, to her mother, to her family, this little girl is irreplaceable. If you went up to their house and said, "Don't worry, war is worse, her life doesn't matter," I would bet my life savings that they would not be consoled by this. What if it was you? If you were ruthlessly killed, would you want someone to say, "But lots of people die...so this person didn't matter." Trying to soften up your argument with words like, "cute, soft, innocent" doesn't make it any better. Your message, loud and clear, is, "it doesn't matter". Yes, war and murder is bad. YES, there are cultures with different beliefs. But a life is a life...not a number. December 19, 2009 blancamateo34@ How dare this guy do such a thing to that beautiful little girl? Even when she was his daughter that god gave him. A child deserves everything positive in the world. I imagine how he will feel if his own father put him in hot boiling water that will cover 84% of his body. If he is at prison he should suffer and let him there unless like for 45 years. Let the girl rest in peace. January 14, 2010 dbestcouple@ xxeternalxxsufferingxx@ wrote: Yeah, why not.
