This is horrible, not sure if the couple were in care, there was some mention that they were in a unit, but it looks like the Mum is 18 and the Dad 16, the baby suffered serious injuries including a bite to the nose

To be fair Cherie, I'd think that the vast majority of parents wouldn't stop loving their children, no matter what they had done.

I think I would struggle to respond if my son had bitten the nose off my grandchild, we don’t know the details but unless he is special needs then I really would be wondering where I went wrong rather than reassuring him

[Amy Jade]

I know I don't have kids or anything but I think I would disown any child if they hurt their own baby

It's a horrendous situation and it's impossible to imagine, I agree, but there's vast amounts of evidence to suggest that most parents of criminals (even the ones who have done unthinkable things) still write to / visit / continue to love their children regardless. It doesn't mean that they accept or excuse their actions, or don't wonder where they went wrong, or don't think their child deserves to be in prison. I guess that's the whole "unconditional love" part of parenting. People still love offspring who have badly injured or even attempted to murder them. Obviously, that's something that this person was obviously lacking entirely, and harmed his own child instead of being there to protect it like he should have been. I still don't see that as a reason to suggest that his own mother should now "hate" him or cease to love him. What does that achieve?

[Kazanne]

It's disgusting,poor little baby,what chance did he have with parents like that,people like this should not be allowed to have kids at all,they are scum, and no doubt they will offered all the help they can get,bastards,need to suffer for a lifetime.

I don’t doubt that parents forgive their kinds and obviously can’t turn off love, that said, that baby was alive on Sunday, so to be so supportive three days later smacks of some kind of coldness towards the baby, as a grandparent I think personally you would be more protective especially of a newborn than you would your almost adult child
