Why Dad’s Kill Their Own Children

bad-dad.jpg“WHAT’S driving so many dads to kill the own children?” asks Allison Pearson on the Mail’s front page.

Below Allison’s smiling face, in “WE’VE LESS TO SPEND THAN FOR 17 YEARS”, readers learn: “Devastating price rises mean families have less to spend on themselves than at any time for 17 years.”

What to do…? What to do..?

    This Dad is Indian and they do seem to exact revenge more readily by taking it out
    on the Family.

    It is absolutely horrifying that a Father would punish his wife by taking his children”s
    lives, in such a painful and terrible way.

    May his God forgive him, I can”t.!!

    Like Uranus (Greek sky god) perhaps the answer lies in the Titaning of their power (perhaps financial power if we have less to spend)?

    Jealous of his children’s power and afraid they were going to take over his rule, Uranus kills them (the Hecatonchires, the Cyclopes and the Titans) and throws them in the underworld. Then his worse fear is realised when his wife Gaia instigates their son Cronus to castrate him (putting an end to his sex life) and dethroned him (no doubt his second worse fear).

    There have been loads of child killings by parents in the past 10 years. Mothers and Fathers, and most have been white (although I don’t think that’s got much to do with it. The honour killing system is a different thing, and doesn’t involve the suicide of the perpetrator).

    It seems to be caused by an inability to cope with the pressures of family life (difficult kids, money worries etc) or by the parents being divorced or about to divorce.

    I think family and marriages need more support, and our consumer culture needs to stop promoting unbridled narcissism.

    During his teenage years I was often tempted to choke the life out of my youngest son,
    luckily I didn’t.
    But he turned out fine in the end so it’s just as well.

    I hope they wait until the children are plump enough, and they eat them when they have killed them. Meat is very expensive these days.
