Mother kills her baby because he had a micropenis

Today, I have for you a penile story that is really sad and disturbing. It involves a mother who killed her son because he was born with a micropenis.

The story is very recent and occurred about 5 months ago, hitting the news on the 28th of February, 2013. The incident occurred in Jakarta (also known as Special Capital Region of Jakarta), the capital of Indonesia.

According to the announcement made by the police, a 38 year old mother took the decision to kill her newly born son because he was born with a very small penis.

The woman claimed that she was very worried for her son, saying that his micropenis would lead to a 'bleak future' !!

Honestly, I think that even a "bleak" future is better than no feature at all !

The mother killed the baby by drowning it in her bath that was filled with water. She then dressed its dead body, laid it on a bed on contacted the police to turn herself over.

The officers said that the woman probably has mental issues (what a revelation !) and made her undergo -after arresting her -several psychological tests to assess her mental state.

A micropenis !

The police also mentioned that the mother told them that her son's micropenis got even smaller after being circumcised.

Although death penalty is still used in Indonesia, it is a very rare practise.. Wonder whether or not it should be applied to her case. What do you think ?

I really wonder how a mother could do this to her own son..Other than that, RIP kid :(
