"Pay child support!" "If I murder my child I don't have to!" So guess what this idiot did...

"How does an individual — because he's ordered to pay child support to take care of a kid ... believe that this is so much pressure that he would face — he would do this hideous act to his own child, or to any child, and think that is a remedy to paying child support?" Riley said. "I mean there are some sick individuals in this society, and this gentleman is clearly one."

NVDL: Did it not occur to this guy to simply not pay child support. I mean, what is he thinking that killing his own kid is a solution to the problem. Because er...murder carries a much heavier penalty than not paying child support. Think he suffered a logic breakdown.

clipped from news.yahoo.com NEW ORLEANS – A man who initially told police gunmen kidnapped his 2 1/2-year-old son was arrested Saturday, accused of committing an "extremely hideous" murder because he was ordered to pay child support, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said. Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child's body and will be booked on a charge of first-degree murder in the death of Ja' Shawn Powell, Riley said at a news conference. "He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support," which he recently had been ordered to do, Riley said.
