mayoraaseiCrazy government policy + crazy psychos + a society that breeds on how to work their way around things, often in the least humanitarian way = a tragedy waiting to happen.
According to "Chinese Financial Paper" (華商報), 36-year-old Li YingFang was originally married in 1997, and her husband died in 2002. It was agreed that her son was to go into the custody of Li's mother-in-law while she retained visiting rights.
In 2004, Li remarried with Hou, who also had a daughter from a previous marriage. Li wanted a child with Hou and managed to get pregnant twice, but Hou's ex-wife reported her to the government for infringing the One Child Policy, and Li was forced to undergo abortion twice.
In 2006, Hou's daughter (from the previous marriage) threatened not to go to school unless Hou and Li divorced, and would not agree to the two of them having children.
In revenge, Li spent 70000RMB to hire someone to kill the daughter, but the daughter fought back and the hired hitman was forced to make an escape.
When Li discovered the failed attempt, she decided to kill her own son in order to overcome the One Child Policy difficulty. The next day, she lured her son onto a car driven by her hired hitman, who strangled the son and disposed of the body on the side of the road. 3 days later, both Li and the hitman were arrested. The two have been sentenced to death.
To kill your child just so you can have another one - and that's when your first child isn't even a burden on you. Utter insanity. I mean I've heard cases (in western society) where people want a second child so they can donate the bone marrow to a sick first child, and even that is ethically debatable, but to kill a perfectly normal child............god.
