More like bad parents... we have our own examples of
dysfunctional families:
SINGAPORE : A man has been arrested on suspicion of
killing a two—month—old Malay baby girl.
The baby had been living at a ground—floor unit at Blk 250,
Yishun Avenue 9. Channel NewsAsia found that the unit is a shelter
for young expectant mothers.
Police said that the baby was sent to KK Women’s and Children’s
Hospital at about 8.45pm on Sunday with breathing difficulties. She
died at 10.45pm.
At 11pm, police arrested a friend of the baby’s mother — an
Indian man in his 40s.
The man will be charged in court with murder on Tuesday.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the baby’s mother is helping
the police with investigations.
Neighbours told Channel NewsAsia that they had seen the mother,
who is a resident of the Good Shepherd Centre, with the man even
before the baby was born.
The couple were sometimes seen chatting or arguing for many
hours.
One resident said, "The guy would come and the lady would bring
her baby to the staircase and sit there, and chit chat. The baby
will be in its pram and they would talk.
"That time they had a misunderstanding. Sometimes I see the
mother crying, (her) face would be all red." — CNA/ms
