Priest Accidentally Drowns Baby While Baptising Him
Moldova: A six-week-old infant has died after being accidentally drowned by the priest who was baptising him. The parents pointed out that the infant wasn´t looking good but the priest ignored them and continued with the ceremony.
By the time the priest was finished the child was no longer showing any signs of life. Baby Laurentiu was taken to hospital where doctors attempted unsuccessfully to revive him. Police are now looking into the incident.
"He dipped the baby in the water without even covering the baby´s mouth with his hand to prevent him from drowning," said the infant´s father, Dmitry Gaydeu.
into the ether. The realm of energy. That priest is goin´ ta hell tho. Our fathers my ass. He´s got a ticket straight to lava town. First stop, drowning hell. :-D
Don´t be an idiot, i´m not justifying his actions. I´m trying yo explain to you the difference between an accident (notice the title of the summary) and murder. Murder indicates intent which necessitates motive, this was negligence (according to the facts we know) and we do not know whether or not he gave a f*ck, your assumption that he didn´t is uninformed.
I am not a lawyer and even if I was I doubt i´d need to defend the guy (pro-bono only if he had no money, another baseless assumption you´ve made...) because there wouldn´t be a prosecuter dumb enough to try to get a murder prosecution.
Go check the jail time of Negligent Homicide vs Manslaughter, then you´ll know why every professional who gets caught killing a client by being an idiot picks the 1st.
Granted the crime was not done in the US but the laws are similar, he can only get max 3 years under "reckless imprudence".
The baby was healthy before given to him, he did not cover the baby´s mouth when dipping him, he was warned the baby did not look ok and did nothing, and after the fact he dissapears for sometime and when caught calims "not guilty"?...Yeah, lets give this dude all the sympathy in the world.
Like I said if you are negligent with newborn´s life there´s nothing else you wouldn´t be with.
The baby was fine before the ceremony, the parents only pointed out that he wasn´t looking good once he´d been submerged in the water.
If that were my child I would have demanded the priest remove him from the water, or I would have grabbed him myself. The priest was negligent to ignore the parents´ concern, but when he did ignore them, they should have stepped in.
According to the report 20 family members were standing around watching! Had they any concern for their child?? They all stood by and did nothing! they are all as guilty as the priest!!
Never understood why they baptize newborns. How much sin can the child have accumulated in only 6 weeks of life? I mean come on. Not to mention the priest drowns him. Craziest story ive heard in a while.
If a baby dies before the age of responsibility (forgot what that is) anyway they dont go to heaven they go to purgatory unless they´re baptised into the church.
At least thats how I remember it, it´s been a while...
