Toddler Tortured

A few hours ago, I added a banner that links to The Hunger Site (a foundation for poor, hungry people, mostly children). It reminded me of the 4-year old boy, tortured by his own mother and 9-year old sister.


Toddlers are really a handful most of the time. It's their nature. They untiringly go up and down the stairs, climb on bookshelves, TV racks, cabinet/closets, plastic clothes drawers. Gets whatever that interests them. Running all around the four corners of the room. Turns on and off the fans & TV repetitively - everything that has switch buttons on it (and oftentimes, pulling electric plugs off a wall socket and plugging it back!). Just keep a watchful eye on them because they have inquisitive minds and they are exploring so let them be. But can a toddler actually commit a dreadful offense to suffer such punishment that leaves the toddler wounded, physically & mentally?


I was able to watch Imbestigador's last Saturday (May 31) episode of their rescue to a 4-year old tortured boy. Where a concerned neighbor reported to Imbestigador about the case of "Jepoy" (not his real name). The neighbor said that Jepoy's feet was securely tied to the wall (like a mongrel) of the house where he is kept within bounds, or like a prisoner. Not only that, Jepoy's body and face are full of scars from previous punishments and fresh, unclean and untreated wounds. He is not even clothed properly; he is wearing a very dirty sando and no underwear nor short pants. With quite long and dirty fingernails, he might have touched his wounds whenever they would itch since his wounds are not treated with antiseptics or anything and might as well be infected.


As what I've seen from the TV, the left side of his forehead has a bleeding wound, looks like crack on a bread. His arms and thighs have small wounds that I suspect, from a hard pinch. Yes indeed, his "nice" elder sister confessed that she pinches Jepoy real hard and hits him whenever she would caught Jepoy picking up leftover food or bits of food and eat it. "Kinukurot ko sya sa braso saka sa mukha pag nahuhuli/nakikita ko syang namumulot ng mga tirang pagkain". He might be starving and not fed enough so he picks up food bits or leftover foods.

Who would ever do this to a little boy? Like I said earlier, his mother and 9-year old elder sister. The little boy is punished, starving and with tied feet, while the great mother goes out to gamble and his sister dear is out playing on the street. His father was asked by the authorities but he just answered he didn't know that his son is being tortured by his "bitter-half". DSWD came with Imbestigador team to rescue the young boy and demanded to have a Medical Test/General Check-Up done to Jepoy. The medical results said it all. Jepoy is already in a severe malnutrition aside from the scars and wounds that the little boy is suffering.

I wish that not only his wounds be healed, but as well as this little boy's mental condition. I hope that authorities and assigned care takers of this kid would help him recover from this traumatic experience.

Thousands of couples are having difficulties in conceiving a child. Others took years to have one. This mother (Jepoy's mom) only takes a second to turn a child into a punching bag. If I'll be asked, what if they will be receiving punishment the same way they punished an innocent little boy? God is watching.

here are a few DOs and DON'Ts from an old research, it may not be that much, but i'll be adding more to this in the future. please try to follow the list and do not disregard for it may cause severe damages.

What Goes In (part IV)

For tastier foods, MSG is added to recipes and manufactured foods. MSG or MonoSodium Glutamate is very well known for its purpose as a flavor enhancer or food additive. It is addictive and has the effect that stimulates our brain cell activity, making your brain transmit the message that the food you’re eating is just delicious or tasty; hence, you’re going to buy some more. But it doesn’t make you any healthier. Food manufacturers choose substandard type of food items (of which has a lower price) to be processed and just use MSG as additives to give it a “consumer” taste. They do this so as not to affect the profits they make from consumers. Of course, people would choose and eat more of those “tastier” products than those that do not contain MSG. Yet, there are still a lot of people out there insisting that MSG use is safe. But I have serious sensitivity to this item. I know I’m not the only one who experienced negative responses with MSG.

Bryan, (not his real name) is fond of eating this instant stir-fried noodle. Every day he finishes 5 whole packs of this instant noodle as his snack. Bryan gained unusual extra pounds and his size really grew big for a 15-year old boy. His continuous consumption of this instant stir-fried noodle soon resulted to poor eyesight that he had to wear glasses. After a month more of great consumption of the instant noodle, he declared that he’s feeling weak (for a big body) and his mother noticed a yellowish color of his eyes and skin. They took Bryan to the doctor and they were informed that Bryan’s kidneys are malfunctioning. His parents were asked what Bryan has been eating and again the instant stir-fried noodle was mentioned. The doctor took the chance of informing the parents of how instant foods can terribly affect our body. He said that these are processed foods and processed foods undergo preservations. Preservatives give these packed/processed foods their shelf life. Aside from these, since they are processed, what do you think would give this addictive taste? MSG is an additive to these packed, manufactured, processed foods that deliver damages to the human cells particularly to the brain and vital organs if ingested exceedingly. You may have remedied his poor eyesight by giving him eyeglasses, but have you ever thought, our eyes are connected to the brain. The additive that resulted his poor eyesight damages the brain. Next, the yellowish color of his eyes and skin. The additives and chemicals already affected his kidney that resulted to the discoloration of the eyes and skin. I’m afraid I can no longer bring his kidney back to its normal function. There are two things I need you to do: firstly, you pray for his fast recovery, and last, find a kidney donor to replace his damaged kidney. That’s all, said the doctor. Thank God, Bryan survived the kidney transplant sponsored by his father.

Aireene never knew how to cook. What she can only give her kids are canned foods and instant noodle soup. If I have the chance to give her some of the food I cooked, that’s the only time her kids can eat right foods. One day someone from her “in-laws” came over to assist her with the meal for the kids. She told the representative to be the one in charge to cook for the day for she was feeling terribly dizzy. She was asked what she’s been eating, she said “the usual food we have, instant noodles and canned foods”. The representative told her that the culprit of her dizziness was the processed foods they’ve been eating. She advised to try learning how to cook right foods because it’s not only her who’ll get affected with the processed foods but as well as her kids.

When I was a kid, I was asked by my mom to buy her some MSG or Monosodium Glutamate. While walking from the store on my way back home, I opened the pack and started tasting it. It tasted good so I dipped my finger in and had some more. After maybe 2 or 3 dips and 25 steps away from our house, I immediately started to feel very dizzy/wobbly. I told my mom that I tasted this MSG and that it made me feel dizzy in an instant. Imagine, if it tasted good to me, I could’ve swallowed it all up and after a few seconds could’ve collapsed along the way. Whenever we would accidentally inhale the stench of chemicals such as gasoline, LPG gas from the stove, ink toners, paints, etc., sooner or later we’re suffering from a terrible headache or intense dizziness; because the chemical contents are hazardous. If this MSG thing has no chemicals or poison-like component that isn’t bad for our body, then why did I felt dizzy immediately after tasting it? Just like relishing any other sugar by finger dips would not make you feel dizzy. How many of it have we taken in our body so far and how much more are we going to have?

A doctor from the company I’ve worked before discussed that the chemicals and poison-like ingredients from the food you eat are accumulated in your intestines or absorbed by your blood, causing an abnormal blood flow that forms blood clots and further delivered to your kidneys, liver and heart, thus your vital organs will slowly deteriorate and trigger chronic diseases. He also said that food-containing MSG could terribly affect the brain functions. Like I said, many people are still unaware of the hazards of MSG and persistence with continuous use of it. People who know how bad MSG is, just don’t care not to touch the stuff! Is it because they have been paid large amounts just to deny the truth about this “killing me softly” stuff? Others would spread lies justifying that the use of this stuff is safe. Is it because they are part of the company who profits from the confused users?

As much as possible, please reduce your consumption of processed foods and/or manufactured foods that contain high amounts of preservatives and poison-like additives. Our kids and we are not to suffer the curse of different chronic ailments (obesity, palpitations, liver and kidney disorders, etc.). If unavoidable, to those of you who lack chance/time, make sure you buy organic food items, they’re available in the groceries (only that they are costly) and on the internet; generally speaking, please make sure that you are taking the right vitamins & minerals to replace your losses of nutrients. Make sure that you take all natural, herbal and have good quality food supplements.
