I feel very bad reading about the children died either being locked in a suitcase or falling from the window in Hong Kong.

What are these parents doing? They simply don't seem to have a functioning brain. When developmental psychology has studied so much about parent-child relationship, how come these findings don't seem to reach these parents?

How on earth my parents did what they did to me?

Findings in psychology may not be true. But hey, the human civilization has been on earth for thousands of years. And the human species or the antecedents had to raise their offsprings too. How come the genes and behaviors of such stupid parenting or child abuse continue?

Something must be wrong here. Either the evolution theory or the changes in modern societies.
