The following information can be found on CNN. The author of this article is the CNN Wire Staff. When reading this article, one can be disturbed by the thought of a father killing his own children. Even if they are his adopted children, it still seems wrong to many. Jorge Barahona, a 53 year old man, had injured and had tried killing his four adopted kids. Jorge had said that his children were inside a pest control truck which he was driving. The car was found parked on the side of I-95 near West Palm Beach, Florida. His ten year old daughter's dead body was found in the truck, along with her twin sister. His daughter was found covered in a plastic bag, and his son was found next to an open gas can, soaked in chemicals. Jorge claims that he had wanted to commit suicide by burning himself at the gas station. He had also claimed that his sons head was on his lap, and that is the reason why he is burnt. When his son was taken to the hospital, it was discovered that the boy had been covered in such intense chemicals, that he had caused the staff who had taken care of him to become ill as well.
The reporters are finding it hard to believe that Jorge feels remorse for what he has done. The fact that he claims to have wanting to commit suicide due to his acts does not have a high chance of being considered as believable. Because of what he has done, Jorge is most likely to be sentenced and has to pay for what he has done. When the children had been given a chance to speak out, they had reported that they have been abused several times by their father. The act of locking them in the restroom for long periods of time and covering them with tape is proof that Jorge is not surprised and does not feel as bad for what he has now done.
