Omg this is sickening! What the actual fuck is wrong with people? Why does this keep happening? Why is noone ever held properly accountable? How wrong in the head must you be to fo this to a tiny, defenseless baby? And the worst are those who cover up or stay silent......there's a special place in hell for you
If the child survives it will, of course become our collective responsibility in one form or another. We have built this society that is addicted to the subtle shifts in victim mentality, where ones own lack of care and responsibility shifts into the public domain. I was listening to ZB yesterday and they were issuing warnings for hot weather, not lighting fires in your backyard etc and I felt like they should have issued warnings about getting on the plonk whilst your kids are in the backyard paddle pool.......
I keep wondering whether the pool mentioned in the story may actually have been a paddling pool. It only takes a couple of inches of water for a baby to drown. I hate even thinking about it.
Yep, lots of those cheap paddle pools in backyards with no safety fencing of course. As you said there is no substitute for commonsense and we seem to have actively created a society and population with a severely reduced capacity.
This doesn't apply to babies, but ... we have created a society where welfare/regulators/court etc systems actively look for someone else whose "fault" it is. Employer didn't hold enough safety courses. (Employee didn't take notice of instruction or of notices posted on wall beside the machine)
Machine has a safety cover that could be removed to make it work faster. Someone didn't check that cover was in place. (Worker removed cover to make their job easier)
It's not the injured person's fault, no, blame shifted away from person responsible for their own mistakes.
In this tragic case the public owes the *blameless* parents: give, give, give.
So we have a pool and the council comes every 2 years to make sure we have ranch sliders that automatically close behind you, the whole backyard is fully fenced 6ft high so children can't accidentally get out there. We don't have children but we do have nieces and nephews etc. We have to pay for the inspection, of course but we do because I'd be beside myself if a child accidentally got out there. So I suppose what I'm trying to say is you must always be vigilant when kids are around water, especially toddlers
I feel sick about this… the baby and the grifting
Beyond revolting !
All about how much money they can rip off the gullible at the expense of their child.
Zero responsibility or acknowledged that the so-called “ adults “ are directly responsible for this inevitable disaster due to their negligence.
Were they too busy getting more tattoos, drinking or taking drugs ?
Let’s hope the truth eventually comes out .
And here we go again https://auckland.scoop.co.nz/2026/01/operation-brey-homicide-investigation-into-babys-death/
I know - just read that.
OMG - they certainly started early in the New Year. Poor little mite. Quote: "His injuries were unsurvivable". Sickening.

Why do people have children if they are just going to neglect them? Goodness some people's conscious humanity is non-existant! How very very sad.
