Father throws his 4 children over bridge

UPDATE 1: Body of the one of the children has been found.

———————————

What a piss-poor excuse for wasting oxygen. An Alabama resident tossed his 4 young children over a bridge.

Prison is just way too lenient for someone who would throw their babies over a bridge simly because one is mad at their wife. Why not just kill yourself instead of murdering these precious babies??? What a selfish bastard!

Can you imagine what those toddlers were thinking as their father tossed them over the bridge to their deaths???

Lam Luong, 37, of Irvington confessed Tuesday night to driving to the Dauphin Island bridge, stopping and tossing the youngsters off the span, which is as high as 80 feet above the water in places, Detective Scott Riva said. Luong faced charges of four counts of capital murder and was due in court Wednesday, Riva said.

Police Chief John Joyner said Luong, who came to this coastal town from Vietnam in 1984 and worked in the commercial fishing industry, apparently had a dispute with his wife, Ngoc Phan, before taking the children to the bridge.

Missing and presumed dead were 4-month-old Danny Luong; 1-year-old Lindsey Luong; 2-year-old Hannah Luong; and 3-year-old Ryan Phan. Phan is not the man’s biological child, but Luong raised him from infancy, authorities said.

    Wow, you said it. Let’s not act like a man, let’s act like a baby and take out your anger on your wife by killing your 4 innocent helpless children. That’ll get her back. Like you said, what a selfish jerk. I am so sick of these people that can’t act like the adults they are and just handle a situation like an adult. Someone should throw him off a tall bridge, I bet he’d scream like a baby. I don’t know what is going on with parents lately but something isn’t right.

    I received a phone call from my mother this morning telling me about this repugnant story. We both were beside ourselves with disgust. How could somebody do such a thing my mom said to me. I do not have any children but my mother has tried to describe to me the feeling of what it’s like to loose a child and she would not wish such a dreadful feeling on her worst enemy. All of us want to see him endure endless torment they same way he made those helpless children feel. But nothing can compare to what he will face from God on Judgment Day. What will he answer when the Lord asks him, “What have you done with those precious gifts I have blessed you with?” May the Lord NOT have mercy on his soul!

    I wonder though, if this had been a woman who had done this, if people would not be so angry. For some reason, when women do this sort of thing, or mothers I should say, the public feels sorry for them or blames society. When a man does this, the public wants revenge and restitution.

    Why the double standard???

    I heard this on the news and it absolutely broke my heart. I cried while telling my husband this story. I don’t understand what is happening to this world. Everytime I think about this I see those babies falling and it just tears me up inside. Man or Woman, anyone who does this should be severely punished if not given death. Those children were innocent, they had their whole lives ahead of them and this selfish man decided that he was in charge of their fate…..it makes me so mad! I just pray for them and the family who is actually hurting so bad right now. I hope this guy rots in a cell and then in hell.

    Makes me sick to my stomach. I don’t see how any of those poor babies survived but I hope to god that they are at least found and put to rest properly. Four sweet little angels, god keep them safe with you.

    Society is to blame, not for the death of the precious little one but for the state fo mind one goes through. I can’t bare to hear stories such as this one because it makes me sick to my stomace, and sometimes they scare me so much, that i think if things weren’t so perfect i’d probably be in there shoes…

    Going through life with struggles is an ugly episode, such as this one! And yes elizabeth is right, why such madness on the man, all the women killed thier kids and claimed insanity. Bull-Crap, killing someone has no excuse, I MEAN NO EXCUSE, uuuuhhh i’m so angry. Children are brought into this world not knowing what life will be like but come on this lady had three kids with this and one already, she got pregnant what like 3 months in between each birth… and she knew he had an addiction, she should be to blame as well. God, I know these children are in a better place, give those who knew them deerly, the strength to cope with thier loss.

    No excuses.
    Let’s see what defense he claims.
    Our society has accepted too much.

    When will Generation D’s time end ?
    Generation D - the disposable generation.
    They have no values for posessions - large or small.
    My generation held onto objects from the past, things our grandparents displayed proudly we still hold dear. Yet somehow we have forgotten how valuable life is. How did we loose the teachings of value ?
    Is this the fault of our parents, media or the influence of those that never had joyful experiences in their life so they do not teach these values and morals to their children.
    My family lives daily with values and memories and we do hold onto memoriabelia retelling the stories to our child, so that he too can hold tight to the stories and tell his children while sharing the objects of love.
    HE WILL NOT BE DISPOSABLE !
    As an educator of 20 years I see many Generation D kids, I value each of them and encourage memory building and value building - I encourage all parents to grab history and change the future values. I reach out to change the future DAILY !
    I encourage those that control our future to help make the change - could you imagine a positive R&B singer or rapper that had values which could inhibit our future values with a positive influence ?
    Sensorship ? No Protection of the future ! Prevention that the youth of today understand that unacceptable actions bring about severe consequences.
