The death of a 14-month-old boy in Quang Ngai after 21 days of abuse has shocked the public, leaving many heartbroken. Many people believe those who lack patience, compassion, and love for children should not work as nannies.

Deep sorrow for the abused child

“No miracle could save him. So many people loved him. Why did he have to leave this world? My heart breaks for him. My condolences to his family,” one reader commented after reading the article “14-month-old boy thrown to the floor by nanny passes away.”

The overwhelming grief expressed by readers reflects the shared sorrow of many. People were stunned upon hearing of the child’s death. Though aware of his severe brain injury, they still hoped for a miracle.

No miracle came, despite doctors’ efforts over 21 days. “It’s heartbreaking to hear the child didn’t survive… His parents must be in unbearable pain,” another reader shared. Many wished the child, who suffered immensely, peace in the afterlife.

The article spread widely on social media, with the online community mourning the loss of a young life taken too soon by the nanny’s cruelty.

If you don’t love children, don’t be a nanny!

One reader, filled with grief and anger, wrote, “Rest in peace, little one. If you don’t love children, choose another profession. Now you must face judgment.”

This sentiment resonates with many. Everyone agrees that being a nanny or childcare worker is far from easy. Children cry when tired, hungry, sleepy, or wanting something—it’s their only way to communicate.

That’s why caregivers must be patient, understanding, and compassionate—not frustrated, indifferent, or violent.

Another reader wrote at length: “A mother carries her child for nine months, endures labor, and raises them with immense effort from birth to 14 months. How can someone be so cruel as to take a child’s life?

If you don’t love children, why choose this profession? You bring tragedy to another family and ruin your own life.

The law may punish you, but the guilt will haunt you forever.”

Without love for children, choosing this profession leads to unacceptable actions. One reader commented, “What can we say when a little life is lost to abuse? The law will deliver justice.”

Another added, “This is a lesson for those who don’t genuinely love children—this job demands boundless patience, compassion, and dedication.”

In the end, no miracle happened. The child, violently thrown to the floor by his nanny, succumbed to severe brain trauma. The pain is immeasurable for his parents, family, and the doctors who fought to save him for 21 days.
