Times-Picayune - Father kills 2-year-old son, dumps him in park, police say
Apparently, $4,000 is enough to kill for over in NOLA. No, it wasn't a gambling debt, stolen drugs, or even over a pair of shoes... it was overdue child support.
Add one Danny Platt into our Wall of WTF, for killing his 2-year-old son Ja'Shawn Powell over child support.
This is an extreme example of a problem plaguing society these days... idiots who forget that they're just as responsible for the child as the women they impregnate, then refuse to have any hand in supporting their responsibility, even after the courts order it. Most of the time, they just refuse to pay, and land in jail, where they can thank their various deities that they weren't born with a uterus.
What Platt did was take this plague to a whole new level. Sure, when the cops were hauling him in, he was crying and apologizing... "I'm sorry about killing my baby," he said.
Nice. It's his baby only after he kills him. It seems he sure as hell didn't give a damn while he was alive. He even threatened to either kill Ja'Shawn or Ja'Shawn's mother over the payments.
Well, he followed through on something. Pity it couldn't have been on his responsibilities.
Score: 10 out of 10 WTFs

Sad. What is this world coming to that you'll kill someone simply to avoid paying child support?
