We should all hope our parents are as excited and supportive as these dads are when we announce we`re knocked up.

A post titled “Civil servant in Wuping starves 90-year-old mother to death” circulated on dozens of Chinese websites since it was first posted yesterday. In the video, an extremely skinny silver-haired old woman is lying on a bamboo bed sheet. According to the post, the old woman is the mother of a public servant surnamed Zhong in Wuping county, Wujian Province. Because of differences over family affairs, the son starved the mother to death.

On September 28, the police received a phone call about an old person on the verge of death from starvation. When they arrived at the scene, they found the gaunt woman covered with a piece of cloth. They rushed her to the hospital, only to be told that she had been suffering from long-term severe malnutrition, which caused failure of multiple organs. She eventually passed away on September 30.

Short, sweet, and incredibly idiotic
