Starved to death when she had to wean him because she had a new mouth to feed?
that's pretty low ... he did nothing to deserve that.
That was mean.
I for one offer prayers for the family. This is the worst pain a human can endure -- the loss of a child.
I can't imagine but it happened in my family (to who would have been my older brother and again for who would have been my younder brother) -- my Mom grieved until her dying day.
No one "deserves" that pain. No one.
