I'm sorry, what?
Seriously, I'm saying a prayer for this child of really, really foolish parents.
Foolish, indeed. Stupid. Negligent, the list goes on.
From the story, it looks like the father/parents cared more for the bat then for their son.
What were they planning to do with the bat, bring him to the vet?
Personally, I would have "disposed" of the bat and made sure my children were safe. Kind of like in "Old Yeller" when Travis does what he knows has to be done.
My Dad had to go through rabies shots after he was bitten by a stray dog in Chicago in the '40s. He said they were painful but they saved his life.
Prayers for that little boy.
Had the same thought, “What?” I didn’t like shots either, but didn’t stop my parents from doing what they needed to do to protect me.
Amen to that.
This is shameful.
Indeed.
Poor little boy.
