I don't know which is worse - that a father would dump his three year old son in a drop box, or that there's actually a drop box to dump unwanted babies off at in Japan.
The article on www.cnn.com says that parents are supposed to "seek outside help before dumping their offspring." Are you kidding me?!?!
Also, the father of the child is being urged to come forward and identify himself, and isn't going to get in trouble for what he did, since he didn't put his child in the immediate way of harm.
I say the dad should stay home and keep his mouth shut, then get beat up. That kid doesn't need to go back to a house where he gets discarded at a "no more baby" shelter. Blech.

The Real-Time Bad News Blues.
A guy walks into an office building.
Sits down. Says nothing.
When asked if he needs help, he replies, "I need to get my blood drawn."
When told that he's come to the wrong place, he asks to be pointed in the right place.
He's properly directed approximately three miles to the left.
Five minutes pass.
The guy returns.
Sits down. Says nothing.
When asked if he needs help, again, he replies, "I need to get my blood drawn," as though he'd never mentioned it before.
He reaches into his pocket.
The nearby women briefly contemplate - "Should we be hitting the floor?"
He stops reaching into his pocket.
Once more, he's told he's in the wrong place, and is pointed in the right direction.
He leaves, and continues to pace in front of the office building for several minutes thereafter, accomplishing nothing.
And that, my friend, is the bad news blues.

Because they were bullied.
What I want to know is, why is "I was bullied" always everybody's excuse for everything??
It seems to be everybody's (who's under the age of 25) motive for killing themselves or killing other people. We were all bullied! Unless we were the captain of the football team or a member of the cheerleading squad, we were bullied. And even then, we were freakin' bullied!
Some of us more than others, yes, I get that, but why is it always the excuse? It's the same thing as saying it's Marilyn Manson's fault that people are gothic and suicidal.
I think if you're going to end your own life, or end somebody else's life, you're going to do it for a bigger reason than being bullied. But apparently Stephanie Gestier and Jodie Gater didn't.
