This is the most disturbing news I've heard since hearing New Kids on the Block were touring this summer. A man, high on PCP, ate one of his four year old son's eyeballs out and damaged the other beyond repair. But don't worry, Dad, who is wheel-chair bound, attempted to cut his own leg off with an ax. Adding to the horror is this quote from Bakersfield Now:
The boy's mother was partially a witness to the incident. She said Friday that she was delivering pizza to the apartment when she heard her son screaming for help and decided to leave.Decided to leave? Trust me when I say the details of the crime are highly disturbing. This just further supports my point that everyone needs to pass a series of tests, background checks, and psychological checks before being given permission to have children.

Dude WTF! I don't want to read that shit! How am I going to stay in my happy place!
That ranks up there with the stories my wife (she works for the Department of Childrens Services) try's to tell me about dead babies during dinner or when I am going to sleep!
I love the charges against him. Torture, child cruelty and MAYHEM.
Oh, well, mayhem?!?! Let's throw the book at him then!
I agree about the testing, the gene pool is getting way too shallow. All I can hope for is that the donors were taken out back and shot, and the child is in a safer place.
God damn you Echowood ... Now I can't get that image out of my mind!
Jesus. Fuckin A. That's too fucked up. Makes the two daddy twins seem downright folksy. God damn people are evil.
Sorry guys. It was a bit harsh, especially for a Monday. But did you not see the title of the post? In order to purge your minds, I offer up this link:

Then again I'm a masochist and probably would have clicked anyway. Some of my friends spent about half an hour telling me not to look up some word on wikipedia (which turned out to be a genital piercing that honestly wasn't worth the half hours worth of "don't look at it!" fuss. Deep sea creatures or intestinal parasites or STD photos, I don't want to see, or nothing to do with eyeballs. Which makes this particularly squick.)
Damn Echo... I can't take the image from my head too... I keep thinking about how the poor kid is going to do after all that...
I think they should transplant both dad's eyes to the kid--if possible du to the damages--and put him in a cell full of the most terrible badasses and tell 'em what he had just done.
This piece has twisted my stomach, for sure.
And I'm pretty sure... fatherhood is not a right, is a privilege... A privilege that should not be given to lots of potheads that give birth and just don't know what to do with 'that critter' that lives with them. If I were one of his neighbours, I would have beaten him so hard until he called 911 telling what he did and that he was going to donate his eyes to the boy.
