Police have launched a homicide inquiry following the death of three-year-old Palmerston North girl Kash McKinnon.
Officers found the girl with critical injuries at a Hulme St house on Wednesday after a visitor called an ambulance.
Kash had been at the house in the care of a 21-year-old man who was not her father, along with three other children aged two, four and six.
She died in Palmerston North Hospital at midday yesterday with her mother by her side. [+]
Details have not been fully disclosed yet to the public, but I hope it is not one of the millions of heard and unheard stories all over the world of child neglect, abuse, beatings, murders, and those kinds of things. People are trying to get rid of their little children for all kinds of reasons. Maybe they were abused, maybe they lack education, maybe they just didn't think of the consequences of having a child and then just abused the child for "ruining" their life. Maybe they're just whores and drug addicts who got together with losers, who knows. There are all kinds all over the world.
I hear all kinds of stories everyday of these poor kids dying, or being murdered in one way or another. Tragic, sad stories. People are trying to get rid of their children and it just makes me sad. I would take a bullet to be able to see and play with my child everyday. I don't have a solution, it would take the world to pitch in.
