Dark Secrets People revealing hidden sins, fears, and shameful actions. (14/20)

It was during my paediatrics rotation, I was taking history from a parent regarding their sons medical condition. The child had jaundice which could not be explained so I suspected a genetic condition and inquired further.

From the history I learned that the child had a younger brother, alive and well but, he also had two elder sisters who died even before reaching the age of one.

So I started inquiring about the cause of death of the two sisters but the father was reluctant to answer. So I tried to push him to answer by telling him that his son could die if he did not tell me the circumstances of his daughters deaths.

Suddenly his eyes started swelling with tears and told me his daughters did not die from a medical cause but were k*lled .He told me that his mother and father had k*lled his daughters by smothering them in their sleep.

Female infanticide is common where I come from but it was first time someone had admitted it to me. I was taken aback and couldn’t comprehend how a father could stand by when his offspring were k*lled but sadly this is the reality of our society.

What do you think?
