On June 21, 2013, in a community in Jiangning, Nanjing, there was an inexplicable foul smell, the smell was disgusting, and some residents once called the police.
But when the police followed the smell all the way to the source and pushed open the door of the house, everyone was stunned, and a young girl covered her mouth and spit it out, and the police officers present couldn't bear to look directly at the scene in front of them-
In the mountains of garbage, the two children were in rags, their bodies had been dried, some of their skin had begun to corrode and fester, and a gust of wind blew through the cracks of the windows, which was a disgusting smell of corpses.
The whole room was full of small insects, and the corpses lying quietly and the buzzing and flying insects presented a strange contrast.
After an autopsy, the two children were only 3 years old and the youngest had just turned 1 year old, and they had been dead for more than 2 weeks.
As soon as the cause of death came out, it was even more shocking: The children who were not yet three years old were actually starved to death! What was even more shocking was that the culprit who caused them to starve to death was none other than their biological mother, Le Yan.
Today, when material life is so advanced, three-year-old children are starved to death, no matter what the reason, it makes people angry.
But as the case was heard, the mother was spared death because of her special status.
What did this mother, named Le Yan, do to her two children, and what kind of special identity could allow her to "escape death"?
This is not the first time that the police have come to the door of Le Yan's family, for the sake of these two children, the surrounding police are more worried than her, a mother.
Two months before the incident, police officer Wang Pingyuan received a call from the police, saying that her 3-year-old eldest daughter Li Mengxue was crying in the corridor, not wearing a single piece of clothing, and the little girl was cold and ashamed, and the cry was earth-shattering.
The neighbor thought that something had happened to her house and hurriedly called the police.
Wang Pingyuan and his colleagues came to see that in addition to 3-year-old Li Mengxue, there was a little girl Li Tong who had just turned one year old at home.
My sister has no clothes to wear, my sister has almost fainted from hunger, and the diapers on her body have not been changed for many days, and the dirt on them has long corroded and festered her body.
At first glance, he was not carefully taken care of, and the policeman Wang Pingyuan was already a father, and he was sad to see this scene, and he sent his two children to a nearby hospital at his own expense.
Li Tong's festering body was finally treated, the nutrient solution was delivered and eaten, and the two girls finally became angry.
Wang Pingyuan contacted their mother, Le Yan, and learned that she was now going out to play with friends, and when she learned that her daughter was in such a situation, the mother didn't care, and didn't even express her gratitude to the police.
The two children were picked up by Le Yan, but the police were not at ease. After learning that Leyan did not have a serious job and her living conditions were difficult, they also contacted the local community on their own and applied for a community relief fund of 4,000 yuan per month for their family.
But this kind of help for Le Yan has no effect at all, her three views have been completely rotten, and the 4,000 yuan from the community relief has not made the two children live better, but has become the capital of Le Yan's carnival and fun.
Sometimes even the neighbors can't look at it, and they will often go over to take care of the children, and when Le Yan knocks on the door to borrow rice and oil, they will look at the children's faces and give her something to eat.
It's just that no one thought that this extremely irresponsible mother would cause such a catastrophe.
When the bodies of the two children were found, they were dried corpses, a result of severe dehydration and chronic starvation, which is a testament to the suffering they suffered during their lifetimes.
In court, Le Yan confessed to her crime and confessed what she had done.
It was the end of April, and Leyan's friends in society asked her to go out to play and party.
Le Yan had just taken her daughter home from the police station, and she was very upset, so she agreed to her friend's request without even thinking about it.
In the evening before leaving home, Le Yan went to the supermarket to buy some cakes, milk and a large bucket of mineral water, fed her two daughters, and explained to her eldest daughter, "I bought food and drink, mom goes out, you take care of your sister." ”
The three-year-old eldest daughter and the one-year-old daughter were ignorant, guarding a bag of cakes and a bucket of mineral water, and just watched their mother leave home again.
In order to prevent her daughter from sneaking out like last time and being called home by the police again, Le Yan locked the door of the house, locked the doors and windows, and even stuffed diapers in the cracks of the doors, and tightened the door card to ensure that the child could not open it from the inside.
In this way, she left what she thought was "sufficient" food and water, and did not even change the child's diapers, so she threw herself into her own carnival, and never came back, completely leaving the child's survival problem behind.
The two children were locked up in the house, the water was gone, the cake was finished, but the mother did not return, and the older sister tried to open the door to find water, but she could not open the door with all her strength.
The little sisters still had the strength to cry at first, but then they couldn't even cry anymore.
The younger daughter was lying on the quilt, the eldest daughter was holding a kettle without a drop of water, and the two young innocent children were finally starved to death in their bedroom.
As the mother of two young girls, Le Yan has the responsibility to raise her, but she left the child starved for a long time, resulting in her death, Le Yan's behavior does not constitute the crime of abandonment, but a subjective evil act, which has constituted the crime of intentional homicide.
The crime was so heinous that the court found that Le Yan should be sentenced to life imprisonment or the death penalty, but because Le Yan had a special status at this time, she was finally exempted from the death penalty and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The answer is that Le Yan was pregnant at this time, and according to Article 49 of the Criminal Law, the death penalty is not applicable to persons under the age of 18 at the time of the crime and to women who are pregnant at the time of trial.
In the end, she was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprivation of political rights for life, the highest penalty for a pregnant woman.
Being a "mother" allows her to escape the death penalty, but does she really understand what the responsibilities and obligations of a "mother" are?
As a mother of two children, she only cares about going out to have fun by herself, and locks her two children who have no ability to take care of themselves at home for a month and does not come home.
In court, Le Yan once cried that no one had ever taught her what love was, and no one had ever taught her how to treat her daughter.
Coming to this point is not unrelated to Le Yan's experience when she was a child.
She was born out of wedlock without a household registration, her father was arrested and imprisoned, and her mother sent her to her grandmother's house after giving birth to her daughter, who took care of her.
This unrighteous child brought a lot of gossip to the family, and her grandparents have always been lukewarm towards Le Yan, and sometimes beat and scolded her.
Le Yan didn't know what normal family affection was since she was a child, and she only felt that she was the punching bag at home.
When she was four or five years old, her mother was finally willing to take her with her.
But at this time, my mother has also become a family in Nanjing, has her own husband and family, and she doesn't care about this so-called eldest daughter, and even feels that she is a stain on her life.
Out of sight and out of mind, her mother stuffed her to her current parents-in-law, asked Le Yan to call them grandparents, and sent her away again.
Le Yan's psychological and physiological growth has no one to guide her, she doesn't like to talk in the first place, and she has been kicked again and again like a guardian, gradually forming her distorted, selfish, and indifferent character.
After graduating from junior high school, she was not admitted to high school, and her grandparents no longer gave her living expenses, so Le Yan could only enter the society to work, and finally found a job in a bar, and immersed herself in the big dye vat of society at a young age.
The loveless child grows up, she craves intimacy, longs for attention, but can't find a suitable outlet, and spends her days in the bar with a bunch of random people, wearing heavy makeup, spraying pungent perfumes, and wearing revealing clothes to please the customers who come to consume.
The bar is not a study, where all the religions and the nine streams are mixed in, and all the absurd behaviors of pleasure are justified here.
Le Yan was taken by a few guests in the bar, and was stained with the two forbidden areas of "gambling and drugs", which must not be touched, and accidentally conceived a guest's child.
The guest had a family, so he abandoned her without hesitation, and Le Yan, who was pregnant, remembered that she was young, and didn't want her child to repeat her own path, and wanted to beat the child.
As a result, she met Li Wenbin at this time, he coaxed her to give birth to a child and raise them together, and said a lot of good things, and Le Yan gave birth to her first child, that is, the eldest daughter Li Mengxue.
Li Wenbin is not a serious person, he is a complete addict, although he still has two suites with the demolition money in his hand, but he and Le Yan only care about having fun every day, spending money like running water, and soon became poor.
On March 3, 2012, Le Yan and Li Wenbin gave birth to a baby girl, named Li Tong, who is her second daughter.
The two children were also reincarnated, and they were born into such a family:
My father was a gambler and a drug addict, and he was dizzy every day, and only had a moment of soberness when he was changing diapers and making milk powder for them; his mother ignored them, and even refused to feed them, except for soaking in the bar or slumping at the gambling table, and even more crazy after taking drugs.
Le Yan's "playfulness" is far more excessive than Li Wenbin, after giving birth, she should smoke and smoke, drink and drink, breastfeeding work is always perfunctory, she doesn't care about the child, and the usual care of the child basically falls on Li Wenbin.
In February 2013, Li Wenbin was arrested for drug use, and the only "reliable" person in the family went to prison, and Le Yan had to start taking care of a pair of daughters.
She has never been loved, let alone loved, the two children cry every day except crying, crying makes Le Yan upset, so she simply locks them in the house and goes out to play by herself.
This parenting style is extremely irresponsible, Le Yan was persuaded by neighbors and called by the police, but she still can't change the living habits she has developed since birth, until she causes a big disaster.
After listening to the judge's verdict, Le Yan did not have any objections, maybe she knew in her heart how much mistake she had made, but she didn't know how to make up for it.
Whatever the reason, what is wrong is wrong, it is her actions that cause the lives of two young children, and it is also her actions that cause the child in her current womb to lose a normal family as soon as it is born.
The right to parenthood is only a thought, but the responsibility of being a parent is a lifelong lesson, and everyone has the right to have children, but not everyone is qualified to be called a parent.
Le Yan's life is a terrible reincarnation, and her unfortunate childhood has been fermented for more than 20 years, and it has also destroyed the childhood of her two children.
I hope her story can be used as a negative teaching material for parents all over the world:
If you had a happy childhood, you want your children to have the same happy time, and if you have ever been unhappy, do your best not to let your children repeat the same mistakes.
