Newborn baby buried alive in India fights for her life

[Sanjeev]

A 20-day-old baby girl found buried alive in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh is struggling for her life, according to hospital officials. She was discovered by chance when a shepherd, who had brought his goats to the area to graze, heard faint screams emanating from beneath a mound of earth. When he got closer, he noticed a small hand protruding out of the muck. After he told the villagers, cops arrived and fished out the infant. Police have not revealed who they suspect is responsible for the crime, but similar instances of abandonment and attempted murder of female children have been blamed on India's predilection for sons, which is widely accepted to be the cause of the country's disproportionate gender ratio.

The predilection for sons in West Africa is more rampant than that of India. I think it is stupidity of highest level. Every baby deserve some love and respect. Now, it seems that female children are more likely to succeed in life than their male counterparts!

I see this as simply backwards thinking a child is a blessing and is important be it a boy or a girl.

Such parents who kill their own children should get death sentence.

Yes, they should be but there are many such instances but they are not caught. How sad it is to bury someone alive.
