World News: Sometimes such incidents occur in the world which become difficult to believe. One such heart-wrenching case is from America, where carelessness beyond the imagination of the parents took the life of a 4-month-old child. This incident is a few years old, but due to the cruelty of the parents, it still goes viral on social media and raises the question whether such parents can exist in the world. Generally, parents go to any extent to protect their children. But here, due to gross negligence of a couple, an innocent child lost his life. After all, what did those parents do?
Baby’s diaper not changed for two weeks
It is important to change the diaper of small children every few hours, otherwise there is a risk of infection on their delicate skin. Diapers should be changed at least every six hours. But these heartless parents did not change the child’s diaper for two weeks. The result was that worms got into the diaper and they spread into the child’s body, leading to his death. Small children defecate in diapers only, so you can imagine how careless this couple must have been.
Alabama incident in America
This incident took place in 2017 in Chickasa city of Alabama state of America. On August 29, 2017, a man named Zachary Paul Cohen called 911 to report that his 4-month-old son, Sterling Cohen, was not breathing. When the team of paramedics reached his house, they were stunned to see the scene inside. The child’s room was completely closed, with no room for air and light to enter. As soon as the door was opened, there was a strong smell of feces and urine. Baby Sterling was lying dead in his cradle. When he was picked up, maggots were falling from his body and there was a very bad smell.
The child was alone in a closed room for two weeks
The investigation revealed that the dead child Sterling had been left alone in that closed room for almost two weeks. The child’s 21-year-old mother, Cheyenne Harris, claimed that she had breastfed the child at 9 am. Meanwhile, father Zachary Paul Cohen said that when he saw the child at 11 a.m., he was not breathing. But investigation revealed that the child’s diaper was not changed even once in two weeks and he was neither given food nor water. Because of this, flies had laid eggs in the diaper, which hatched into larvae (worms) and spread over the child’s body.
The child’s father later confessed that the child had constant diarrhea and could not stand the smell, so he did not change the diaper. At the same time, the mother argued that she was suffering from postpartum depression (stress after delivery) and was not able to get up from the bed. However, the court found his arguments to be false. In 2019, both were sentenced to life in prison for this horrific negligence, with no possibility of parole. You have seen what kind of people there are in the world.
