It's a cry for help by the poor parents

Misleading thread title is misleading (I did notice the Journal had this thread title as their headline yesterday - they seem to have changed it now)

Big difference between a "cut throat" and a "cut on his throat"



That aside, how the parents were allowed to retain custody up until the court heading shows a major failing in our child protection laws.
There has to be provision made for Gardai being able to make a judgement that the child is in danger, and being able to take the child into car immediately until an emergency court hearing can be held (ideally within 48 hours).

Thread title is a little over dramatic.

The poor parents the father put a knife to his throat.

Yes the title isn't worded properly my fault but can be changed.

These two should be locked up and the key to be thrown away.

Fully agree.

God love them all, but sympathy for parents much less as they can make choices, even if they are limited.

FFS. A child is such a gift, why would anyone treat one like this? I disagree with the "animals" reference. Animals wouldn't do this. Ironic that the country is tying itself up in knots over the world imploding if two men or two women are allowed to adopt a baby and this is going on in the sidelines

Weren't the PC brigade out in force when the situation you describe in the last paragraph actually happened a couple of years ago?
I believe there was uproar that this could happen to the poor child:

yeah animals would, they can be very cruel and let their young die deliberately. That doesn't sit well with the view some people have with nature, but nature doesn't give a **** what people think...

http://www.whoi.edu/ospreycam/page.do?pid=136696 is a good example.

Big difference between taking custody of a child because of their hair colour, and taking custody of a child because of a clear and obvious danger to the child.

I'd imagine if the Garda responses had been switched (i.e. seize the child from the car, and hold off and investigate for the Roma child) then there wouldn't be a whole lot of complaints - or at least complaints from any credible sources

Animals do far worse:pac:

This is so so sickening. I hope his parents NEVER get custody of him again. It would probably be for the best if he just never saw them again at all in my opinion. The poor child will be so traumatized from this.

What's worse is these idiots will probably go on to have more kids and put them in the same dangerous situations (or worse), and there's not a whole lot that can be done....makes my blood boil.

poor kid was born into a horror story:(

So between this - the pimping parents in Tipperary and the teenagers filiming and posting a video of a young autistic boy being bullied and humilliated in Carragaline. I think its fair to say its a great little country we have here.

Poor kid, I hope the parents never get him back. Hungry, dirty and in the back seat of a car with some random stranger while his parents got off their heads. It's a good thing he was found when he was or things could have been an awful lot worse.

These are truly sickening stories, but leave it at that.

Why don't you tell us how something like this would never happen is comrade Vladimir was in charge here?

Or twist yourself into knots to find a way of showing how this is really all the fault of the USA.

You know? the usual
