© Mohammed Dabbous/CorbisMatthew and Grace Huang, a U.S. couple who were accused of murdering their adopted daughter Gloria, stand outside the entrance of the Court of First Instance after their trial in Doha, March 27, 2014.
Their 8-year-old daughter, Grace, had been raised severely malnourished in Ghana and had been treated for an anorexia-like condition. She died in January 2013 from unknown causes after being found by her parents and rushed to a hospital. Their other two children, now 8 and 12, were put in an orphanage but eventually returned to the United States to live with relatives.
According to a New York Times report:
"Prosecutors raised questions about why defendants of Asian heritage would adopt African children and asserted that they had deliberately withheld food and let her die. The prosecution's case was undercut, however, by testimony from friends, medical pathology experts in the United States and a defense team that punched holes in a flawed pathology report that helped formed the crux of the charges against them. Defense lawyers asserted last month that the report might have been fabricated and asked Qatar's attorney general's office to investigate possible prosecutorial misconduct."The fact that Qatari prosecutors considered the adoption of African children by an American couple of Asian descent to be inherently suspicious strongly suggests that this prosecution is based at least in part on cultural misunderstandings. Mixed-race families and adoptions are virtually unknown in Qatar.
Comment: From UCLA Newsroom- 'Schools have limited success in reducing bullying, new analysis finds': The bully problem seems to reflect the psychopathic values and worldview metastasized in society and it also seems these school programs are ignorant about this core problem of our world. Of course this problem is more complicated than just counting the mere presence of psychopaths but if schoolchildren were to learn about the psychopathic menace in our midst and how it has run amok, they would profit immensely in being able to understand the 'contagious' threat and predation which is almost incomprehensible within the crucible of mainstream society.
