Yea thats what im kinda thinking.. about it being abused. When a friend dropped her 7 month old to my friends (who I was coming over to stay the night too) she said to her: "If he wont go to sleep, just give him some panadol" or something very very similar..

I mean, I objected to the notion at all, but just seeing some strange behaviour with the lil one later.. I got a bit worried.. I mean.. I wonder how often she does that, but also.. if its teething.. maybe the panadol is simply for the pain and fever sometimes associated from that..

And the cry the baby had, was so strange... combined with how he was acting.. and I mean.. he was teething.. you could tell that as well... but he didnt calm down until we considered... maybe he really is in pain from his teeth, and should give him a lil panadol.. he calmed down after that... but not after feeding, sucking on things, bongela applied to his gums etc...

And when she dropped him off, at 7pm (dark and colllddd i was wearing long sleeved pjs in the house, with the heater on....) he was only wearing short shorts and a shirt and singlet... the poor thing..

I dont know.. Just sometimes bad things go through your mind eh?

(sorry if this is long..)
