What Is Wrong With People?!

California mom accused of killing baby in microwave
Investigators compared child's injuries to three other similar cases

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&where1=SACRAMENTO, Calif.&sty=h&form=msdate) — Sacramento police have arrested a mother after an investigation found her baby likely died from burns suffered in a microwave oven.
Ka Yang, who is 29, is being held without bail in Sacramento County Jail. She was arrested Tuesday, three months after her 6-week-old daughter was found dead in the family home.
Yang has been charged with homicide, NBC station KCRA TV reported (http://www.kcra.com/news/28312794/detail.html).
Police described the child as suffering "extensive thermal injuries."
Officer Laura Peck said investigators pinpointed what they believe is the cause of death by looking for other cases involving similar injuries.
They found three in the U.S., all after children were burned in a microwave.
Among them was a case involving Dayton, Ohio, woman convicted this year of baking her baby in a microwave. The two other cases were in Galveston, Texas; and New Kent County, Va.
Sacramento County coroner's spokesman Ed Smith told the Sacramento Bee newspaper that the infant's fourth-degree burns were among the worst investigators there had seen.
"The child was apparently killed by the burning of the tissue," Smith told the Bee. "I don't know if they can say how long baby was in the microwave."
Peck says police do not have a motive. No attorney was listed for Yang.
Police said Yang has three other young children, all boys ages 7 and younger. They have been removed from her home.
Last month, an Ohio woman convicted of killing her month-old baby daughter in a microwave oven was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison without parole.
China Arnold, 31, of Dayton, was convicted of aggravated murder. Prosecutors say Arnold intentionally put 28-day-old Paris Talley in a microwave and turned it on after a fight with her boyfriend. The couple had argued over whether the boyfriend was the infant's biological father.

No words could properly convey the disgust I felt when I read this.

It's a very serious psychosis, is what's wrong with people.

[Sithreis]

Um

That aside I just read an article about a mother killing her 5yo son because he broke a TV playing Wii games.

Well in a daily life of us humans, things worst happen on a daily basis, such as gang trafficing, rape, murder, chemical testing and much more that is normal. Dont forget what happens in the paranormal part of our world. dont get me wrong this is horrible, but compared to what happens daily, this is just 1% bad. Copared to something like canniblism and such

[Sithreis]

gang trafficing, rape, murder, chemical testing and much more that is normal. I hardly find those as normal in any regards. It could be argued that such occurrences could be considered frequent or common (to a certain degree) but not at all normal, and for that matter cannibalism could easily be likened to these acts.

While normal is still subjective on an individual basis, I strongly imagine none of these fall in that category. Furthermore looking at the cause of death, it wasn't some form of negligence, it was a sheer disregard for human life. In other words it wasn't an accident. At the very least in the case of accidental firearm discharge (and other acts of human stupidity leading to death) the situation is usually handled more delicately. And paranormal has nothing to do with criminal acts, save for Mulder's involvements (tense)

I love OW


on a separate note, I feel like the title of this thread assumes that people are basically good so it is irregular for them to act this way. I disagree.

So you're saying most people would see nothing wrong with putting a baby in a microwave oven.(-.-)
And the title ask "What Is Wrong With People?!" Even if people microwaved babies on a regular basis it would still be wrong.

[kastoob]

I always blame lack of proper education on shit like this. It also reminds me how thankful I am to be brought up so well.

that is just plane wrong... (-.-) not funny AT ALL!!!

I'm not sure education can stop one from being insane.

On the internet you should probably expect this humor. :/

[MadScientistK]

LOL Dingoes ate my baby! (My toddler would eat the dingoes, though.)

I agree, education doesn't protect you from a psychotic break. AT ALL. And that's what has usually happened when someone murders their offspring for real, not just the idle threats most of us make.

Not what I am saying at all, seriously? that is all you got from my post? It is obviously not as black and white as that, but whether you like it or not, this stuff happens daily in the world. I think Casey Anthony is the most noteworthy in the last couple of years. I am not supporting it, or saying it is ok, but Superoni, come on, you have to realize that this stuff happens all the time. It may not be as creatively crazy as baby in the microwave, but this has been happening for centuries going back to the Chinese drowning baby girls. So yes, it is wrong, it is something that we live with everyday, hence being somewhat the norm. But to say what is wrong? It is human beings themselves. I think people find comfort in attributing a reason for this, like education or mental illness, socioeconomics, etc. but sometimes, most of the time, there isn't one. This is within the last 6 months alone, from one news site:

I guess people are starting to go nuts (-.-) everyday is the same , you open the Tv to see some news and what- only crimes , murders , and all sorts of things that make you sick , we tend to be more violent and I think that this is the proof that we are becoming more like some animals than humans.

He's saying its not entirely irregular because most people, contrary to popular belief, are in fact mentally deprived, morons, evil, and/or all of the above. See my earlier post.

lol? This very well could be the funniest thing I've read all year. People are far from "starting" to go insane. I can only imagine what hole someone has to live in to think that just now newswaves have been filled with murder. Humans have only been violent beings since the last odd....forever? Its clear that people don't understand the usefulness of history in todays time (or previous times) to learn from the animalistic instincts (thats because we actually ARE animals and any well rounded individual would lament the fact that human's dark characteristics rear their ugly head without any progress towards mental and social evolution) and emotion mistakes man has wrought in his own destruction over the span of society. Humans are animals, and their self awareness has only served to provide false sense of superiority over other living creatures. Biologically superior? Yeah sure, but that's not the superior that every seems to think.

I always blame lack of proper education on shit like this. It also reminds me how thankful I am to be brought up so well.

Education has nothing to do with it. Wider levels of knowledge do nothing to mend a corrupted sense of self. Its all about conditioning. (Your being "brought up well" by definition isn't education btw) You can be smart, but if you were conditioned at a young age by a parent, environment, whatever, you're being negatively impacted and are likely to become a more than average dysfunctional person

[Darksage]

kastoob isnt specifically talking about formal education, thats why he said 'brought up so well'

[Sithreis]

Ah well, kinda grazed over the "shit like this" right after it. *shrugs*

When I read the article I was unaware the perpetrators had known psychotic issues. I thought they where just flat out stupid, especially the last lady who microwaved her baby because of a fight with her boyfriend.
And when I say education I don't mean schooling system, I mean the passing of knowledge down generations in general, including parents teaching conduct in society.

[Superoni]

The question was rhetorical. I know the world is full of violent, selfish people. In fact, we are all capable of douchebaggery of various levels. My dad's side of the family contains many such examples (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqeksSVKpbI) (not my dad - he's cool). The specific reasons for such behavior vary, but usually boil down to selfishness. Some of the cases involving mental illness fall into this category (e.g., someone doesn't want to be labeled 'crazy', so they refuse to seek needed treatment and eventually snap, causing harm to themselves and/or those around them). Caring for someone, especially a child, involves giving up some things you want for the good of the that person.

[Raiziel]

i feel so much DISGUST
I mean there is a disease where after giving birth mothers cant stand seeing the baby and go sorta crazy. 1 in like 8 mothers have it. only about 1 quarter of those who have it actually try to kill their babies.
but this....disturbs me to unbelievable lengths
