Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
OMG! This is too tragic for words. I hope this forces changes to domestic violence laws in this country.
Once you've read the dictionary, every other book is just a remix.
Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
Are there any reasons for that to be so in this country?
Always "hope" but never "expect".
Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
Laws don't change anything it people's attitudes and behaviors that need changing
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.

Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
These two observations.
Stiffer, real laws are all well and good, but they deal with the aftermath. Fundamentally, what are the reasons these things escalate so quickly, and so often with collateral damage.
-Alcohol
-drugs
-poverty
-desperation
-sense of futility
The list could go on.
So, in under two weeks, a report of a family now losing a baby, and a baby losing a father. Stupidity, and loss of control.

Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
I would contend that it is widespread all over SE Asia, if not most of Asia. People tend to not get involved in domestic disputes, look the other way when they see women or children with injuries, and the thinking along the lines of "spare the rod, spoil the child (wife)" is also pretty common.
Re: Baby Killed Tragically in Domestic Dispute
If not most of the world... It seems to be a common human trait. Western countries may have more laws on the books but they punish offenders more than prevent violence. Even with laws, domestic violence still occurs.hanno wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 5:16 pmI would contend that it is widespread all over SE Asia, if not most of Asia.

I suppose someone will dig up the statistics by country to see who has the most domestic violence. Of course, much of it is unreported.
