Father starves mischievous son to death
October 24th 2006 17:35
read about this incident a couple of days ago and just can’t seem to get it out of my head.
According to this article, a father starved his five-year-old son to death for being “mischievous”....(What the ???????)
Dhurau Ram Majhi, 34, a resident of a village in Raigarh district, locked up his son, Suraj, in a small stuffy room and made him go without food and water for four days.
This is sooo heart-breaking.
Preschoolers can be demanding, whiny and mischievous and I know I get mad at my kids often but this kid definitely didn’t deserve this punishment.
How can the father even think of doing this for so long? Even if he was angry with his kid, I’m sure he couldn’t stay angry for four days?
Where was the mother? I know that in rural India, wives generally don’t have much of a say but for a boy to be locked up for four days is a long long time.
What about neighbors?? There's got to be some other saner grown up in the vicinity !
I’m hoping this incident gets publicized enough and generates enough furore that the father will be punished immediately.
I am not a strong proponent of the death penalty but as a parent I want the father to be punished in the same manner he punished his son...I'm still getting chills just thinking about it
Please help get the word out so that the father gets his just punishment

As for you wondering where his mother was...that's an entirely different can of worms. Depending if the man was Muslim would tell you how much authority the mother had over what the man was doing. And chances are the mother is not alive anymore and this poor little boy had to face his father's wrath without anyone's love or help.
Good blog.

It's just very disheartening that something so heart wrenching is considered normal anywhere in the world.
For heaven's sake - India is a progressing democratic nation and not still stuck in the 18th century
But it's acts like these that give it a bad name
I'm hoping the government acts and restores the faith of its citizens
The next time someone even thinks of doing something like this , they will remember that this father got punished and it will serve as a deterrent.
