How Can a Father Beat His Son to Death?
Am out of words, as a mother, I wanted to cry and I don't have the courage to finish the video.
You might have seen it guys, it's all over the internet. I scrolled through my Facebook wall and I kept seeing these clips, I can't get it out of my mind so I have to write about it so I can get this off my chest.
I didn't finish the video, when I saw this naked man already hitting the boy, I just stopped it and closed the app but I still can't let it out of my mind. I was thinking what were the people around doing, I know it's hard and I know it would be dangerous also for those around to mingle but what could have been done to save the seven-year-old boy?
If it was my son, what could I have done?
Today, I checked my social media account again and I saw a post. The suspect was the father of the child and my heart just sank. The father figure should be the first one to protect his child, the first person to do everything he can to care, nourish, and love his son but what happened here?
Furious and angry would not be enough to describe how I felt, I started thinking about the mother, what could her reaction be? What about the family of the suspect? The grandparents of the child?
I already thought that the father had used drugs for sure and I was right, according to the report, the father was somehow under the influence of illegal drugs.
He was naked! His balls were actually swinging here and there when he approached the boy. I saw neighbors shouting and trying to hit the guy but they couldn't stop him. I didn't know what happened next. I just wished the people around came to the rescue earlier before the boy lost his life.
How cruel this world can be! I truly hate those who are in the illegal drug business, I am angry at those who are selling them, those who are using them too. It's heartbreaking because the suspect is the father, what could be in his mind when he was hitting his child, what could be running in his mind all those moments that he was killing the boy?
Going back to the boy, I was teary-eyed thinking what if this happened to my child, I know that my husband won't do such a thing but what if someone else does it to my baby? I would never forgive myself if that thing would happen. The thought of it is just killing me.
The suspect was beaten by the locals and eventually is dead as well. He has no chance of apologizing or explaining why he had done such a thing. According to the report of the wife, he came home and wanted to have s*x but the wife refused because she's pregnant and then the husband just turned his anger to the child. Perhaps that's the reason why he was naked.
According to the suspect's sister, her brother was a good man until he started using illegal drugs. Now, the family is all mourning for they both lost their brother and nephew all because of the usage of illegal drugs.
Whatever the reason for a person who uses illegal drugs is, it is unacceptable and invalid. It's all wrong. The boy deserves to live, he could have a better future.
Have you seen the video guys? It's just frustrating and so I decided to just stop using Facebook for now and keep my heart from heartache from all this news. A day ago, there was fire and bridges collapsing, then now, there's this father beating his son to death. Sometimes, it is indeed better not to know many things because I get affected.
Thanks to readcash and I am now able to get this off my chest and my mind. Hopefully, I won't see any horrific news today. And I told my husband we must go somewhere tomorrow so we could unwind and he agreed. Yay, we will go to Buwakan ni Alejandra to take some flower photos!

What a sad story, sure illegal drugs are killers, when you start to take them you are already killing yourself, it's bad that he didn't even know the gravity of what he did to the child before he died.
