Just been reading more about Arthur labinjo Hughes and what happened to him, it’s made me feel so sick and angry.
Allegedly the dad said he was frustrated with lockdown, not working and his son’s behaviour, but he couldn’t lash out at his partner because she was a woman and he couldn’t touch her kids, so he took it out on Arthur. What a disgusting, pathetic excuse for a man, the last person you take it out on is a child, any child.
They also claim that Arthur had behavioural problems, he screamed and threw tantrums, hit out and was rude to his dad and his partner… and that pathetic excuse of a human thinks that justifies torturing his son? NO, NEVER. He was a child and they were the adults, it was their job to understand his behaviour and to try and help him improve in gentle ways, not by beating him
.
The poor kid had been taken away from his mum and then the country went into lockdown, then he moved in with his dad and a stranger and her kids. No wonder he was acting out and had behavioural problems, most children would, it is no excuse to treat him that way, they should have got help if they were struggling. I feel so angry
