I agree with that......every single day this young man will look at other parents of small babies and remember that he too used to have a small child like theirs.....He may have friends who have children who are of a similar age......he will see these children reaching the landmarks in their lives....first day at pre-school, first day at primary school etc......and he will know that he too should have been experiencing the joys that such episodes bring.
He may lose the love of his partner, it must be hard not to blame someone when you lose a child in such circumstances.
Right up until his dying day this man will pay, and in terms that we can only imagine.
