The uncle might not been able to put up with the brats crying.
Children are such a mistake.
I wish the ungle the best.

John,
Do you realize how ridiculous your comment sounds? "The brats crying" is no justification for a 32 year old to hit a defenseless 20-month old baby. Also, that is a rather hypocritical statement due to the fact that you yourself were once a child that most likely caused the same annoyance.

John, you were a child too. Guess you were also a mistake.

Well it appears John is rather slow, he should learn how to spell words that are in the article. The child may be a brat, but I would rather spend a day with that child than 5 minutes with John. Tough guys always seem to lash out at the defenseless.
