Parents put boy in suitcase, to death Hong Kong: A 10-year-old boy who was locked in a suitcase by his parents for being naughty died Saturday. The parents of the boy have been charged with murder, Hong Kong police said.
The boy was found in the suitcase measuring 120 cm by 60 cm Thursday evening after the parents called the police saying he had collapsed.
It is believed the parents locked him in the case as a punishment for being naughty. He was taken to hospital in critical condition, but died early Saturday morning. The father, 49, and the wife, 35, were expected to appear in court Saturday.
That was a pretty cruel thing to do to a little boy.
What on earth is wrong with some people.
Too bad someone couldn't shut these idiots up in a suitcase.
This makes me blindly furious.
Reminds me of the episode from last night's airing of "Close to Home". Only in that case a neighbor put a 6 year old in the truck of her car.
