Crying Baby Court Subject

Charging that a tenant had become a nuisance by allowing a baby to cry for five hours, a landlord in Shoreditch, England, went to court to have the tenant and baby ejected. Judge Cluer decided for baby and parent, saying; “I cannot take evidence that it is cruelty for a baby to be left to cry. It is the best way to teach them to sing alone. Germans regularly leave their babies alone for three nights to cry and then they are all right.”
