Sad and horrible things have been done with babies. Don't go looking for pictures or videos on the internet.

With the father's history of domestic abuse I just hope this couple doesn't produce another baby for the purpose of selling it.

Stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.
