Re: Am I missing something here
Not as funny as that sounds.
Some years back such a graveyard was indeed found with the bodies of very young children buried there.
No doubt there have been many such incidents in other countries as well over the years.

Re: Am I missing something here
Yes John , this was the one I was thinking of and perhaps the same one as you are thinking of as well.

Oddly enough I am reading a book just now, The House of Ashes by Stuart Neville. It is fiction but reading between the lines he is relaying a story which I am sure has happened many times and in many countries.
Just on the news at lunchtime today. A couple have been found guilty of murdering there 10 month old baby boy. Why these two bastards are not at the end of a rope is beyond me. I am not a fan of bringing back capital punishment, but for crimes like these let the f--ckers swing

Even the judge while addressing the jury had take time as she was so emotionally upset at the suffering the child endured.
Yet again another f--ckup by the justice system who ordered social services to return the child to his parents.

Re: Am I missing something here
Well how about hanging this basward.I will do it.
Two Paramedics where outside a MacDonald's in Sydney at 5am yesterday having just worked all night, one a young bloke of 29 who's wife was expecting their second child in two weeks was sitting in the back doing some paper work when this arsehole slid back the door and stabbed him to death, Police had to Taser the basward. So far no explanation as to why he did it.
