Re: North Koreans Eating Their Own Kids: Reports
The Independent ran a load of stories the year before last about children being "stolen" by the state, where children were taking into care over the slightest reasons. The big case they went with was regarding a couple who took their baby into A+E cause it had some mild bruising, but were then arrested immediately and the child taken into care.
For weeks they kept on about this incident, repeatedly questioned how this could happen and went on about decent people being victimised.
However, what had actually happened (and the Independent knew it) was that the bruises had been seen by a GP the day before who had said they were nothing to worry about cause children bruise easily. The trip to A+E was because the baby wouldn't stop screaming and one of their legs had gone floppy.
When the baby was seen by the staff at the hospital they contacted social services and the police because the baby had a broken leg. Now I think we all know how it's not that common to break both bones below the knee so the leg ends up flopping round, so you can imagine how incredibly rare it is for that to happen in the thigh (the femur). The femur had been snapped in two with massive force that indicated that one of the parents had deliberately held the baby's thigh and snapped it.
That's why the parents were arrested and the baby taken into custody.
Now The Independent were aware of this and breached court orders regarded anonymity to publish the story. The judge even wrote to the reporter in question and the editor inviting them to sit in on the hearings because the published story had failed to mention the broken bones and he wanted them to have the full story. However they repeatedly declined and continued to run the story.
They did the same thing in another high profile case, alleging that a father had been given full custody of his children over the mother, despite him being a registered paedophile. However he wasn't a paedophile at all, let alone a registered sex offender.
Everything in the press needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Re: North Koreans Eating Their Own Kids: Reports
An absolutely ridiculous story and the fact that anyone buys it is baffling.
