Coincidence? Editorial intent? Two very different stories follow each other in the SF Chronicle. James Kim’s dramatic effort to find help for his stranded family is called superhuman by many. Paul Kedrosky finds a way to “humanize” the superhuman:
“Superhuman, perhaps, but also the kind of prodigious effort the parent of any young child can understand.”
But what would the parent of any young children think of the next story:
“Chazarus Hill Sr., 27, repeatedly used a belt, his fists and switches to assault his son, Chazarus “Cha Cha” Hill Jr., who underwent a “very painful and slow death” after suffering contusions and internal bleeding.”
Why? The 3-year-old made mistakes identifying numbers and letters on flash cards. No, you don’t have to be a parent to be shocked speechless by this – just human. Which this so-called father isn’t.
