Man puts baby in cooking pot for meal: Video spurs Saudi public anger

Published

Saudis have reacted angrily to a YouTube film showing what appears to be a local man dumping a baby in a cooking pan and pretending to cook the child.

The film showed the man, speaking in Saudi dialect, saying: “That’s what we are having for dinner today. This what we will eat today.”

The man was apparently speaking to his children who were heard in the background while a female voice was also heard saying : ‘Wait… just a minute.”

Sabq Arabic language daily, which carried the film, did not say where in Saudi Arabia it was shot and it was not clear if it was a cruel joke by the man for his son.

“May God not forgive him. We hope the authorities catch this man and punish him,” said a reader in a comment sent to the paper.
“What is going on these days. The hearts of some people have become like a stone,” another reader said.

“Even if he is joking, this man certainly has no conscience, no religion and no brain,” another said.
“It is clear this man has taken drugs. Whatever the case, may God damn him and I wish the authorities will get him,” another reader said.

“Very cruel and brutal. This man is a beast. If you don’t care for your son, then bring him to me and we look after him,” said another.
