Mad man. Did the boy ask to be born? You want to sell him to take care of others indeed. Why didn’t you sell yourself to hard work so you can take care of him?
ReplyDeleteKai, the heart of man. How do you part with your son (3 year old) so easily without any sense of loss. Even if you have so many children, each one of them is unique and peculiar. I have a 3 year old son and it is so disheartening to read this.
ReplyDeleteThe level of stupidity of some people in this country eenh. Breeding kids like agric fowl. Kids you cant cater for. Nonsense. What's his name sef, abi they are using oruko to boo l'ashiri ni.
ReplyDeleteSelling your child is NOT "stupidity" Its evil and criminal, plain and simple. Saying he's stupid implies there wasn't evil or criminal intent in his actions, which is false
