Home Alone Child Death
 
According to the Gulf News, a 5yo Egyptian boy plunged to his death from a 10th floor window in their Abu Dhabi apartment tower. It seems that both his parents were out shopping and there was nobody at home with him. "He had never opened the window before" was the parents excuse. What utter insanity. They should be jailed.

The laws over here leave me speechless. You can be arrested for having a coffee with a man,but its ok to leave your kids alone?

Very sad indeed, not only for the boy to lose his life, but his parents must now live through the grief of losing their boy and also their part in the incident.

Eric Clapton's song is quite moving, its one of my wife's favourite songs of all time.

You of all people should know that waxing lyrical about an avoidable tragedy doesn't forgive it..
