Korean father suffocates his crying son, abandons body to play games.

Goddamnit.

Apparently, we can’t even go one day without a horrifying story to balance out yesterday’s piece about the excellent Chinese father who handled his son’s gaming habits perfectly.

According to a report in Korea’s Chosun Ilbo a 22-year-old father and gamer in Gumi city got annoyed by his 28-week-old infant son’s crying, and put a hand over his mouth to stop him.

Whether or not that killed the infant is still a matter of debate—prosecutors say yes, the father says no—but what happened next seems to be this: the father left his son’s body sitting there for thirty days while he flitted between the internet cafe to play games and the sauna. After more than thirty days, he finally threw his son’s corpse into a trash bin, and charges were brought against him after the body was discovered.

I can’t offer any commentary on this news that doesn’t immediately devolve into a string of curse words, so I’ll leave it at that. Goddamnit.
