Man Standing on Baby Photo: Abuse or Just Bizarre?
Today’s social media news feed dropped a disturbing photo into view, that of a a man standing on an emaciated child. The angry caption reads: I WANT TO KILL THIS MAN…IF U R AGAINST CHILD ABUSE *PLEASE* LIKE N SHARE THIS..
Angry comments follow, and for good reason. There is absolutely no good reason for someone to be standing on a child like that. But it’s not exactly child abuse per se, in that this photo was circulated at the end of 2010 and early 2011 as a bizarre story of an Indian witch doctor’s practice for curing a sore throat, and other ailments. Here is one such report. Again, in the eyes of this author, it is absolutely child abuse, however the original story wasn’t presented as child abuse – though it certainly could have. It’s a prime example of a culture’s acceptance of something the rest of the world finds revolting. Perhaps the photo’s caption should read “End Crazy Witch Doctor Practices” instead?

who can take such a photography and let this man doing that???????? i want you all damned criminals to die in terrible suffering !!!!!!! little baby,,i p
ray for you !!
How could they do that. I hope that man feels lucky he isn’t a metre away from me and that I don’t have a metal studdet BASEBALL BAT!!! RIP little one. <3
What’s odd is that this is considered – at least in the village in which he resides – to be “helping” the child.
Poor baby! This shit pissez me rite the fukk off
omg why would some one do that to a baby!!!!!!??????? the baby has its ribs shoing and you smelly ass feet ant goning to help nouthen!
Oddly, in that particular culture, this man is seen as “helping.”
I can’t understand how we can live in such world where we just see such brutal acts and so nothing about it.. I am crying… .I couldnt do more… but this photo broke my heart… I wish i could bring justice and put that criminal where he deserves to be
Probably one of the most distressing pictures I have seen and now I can take it out of my head. Poor child is in obvious pain, and looking helpless.
Very sad indeed. No need to take pictures like that. If it’s accepted in their culture, it should stay there!
I hope the baby doesnt have a sore throat anymore.
