In the news "Hi my name is ... Pumpkin"
Submitted by scott on Tue, 18/09/2007 - 8:35am.

Qian Xun Xue, a little Asian girl nick named "Pumpkin" because of the Pumpkin Patch vest that she was wearing was picked up at a Melbourne railway station after being found wondering around by herself.

So who would leave a little girl in a station all by herself? HER FATHER did and then boarded a flight to the USA. Did he forget her?? He boarded the plane and thought ok I've got my cabin luggage – missing anything else – um NO – Bollocks.

As a father you don't just forget your little 3 year old – most of our brain make up is done in the first 3-5 years of life, so do you think she is going to forget all about this, I wouldn't think so.

My little girl is the first and last thing on my mind every day, I wouldn't just forget about her ever! I wouldn't like to be called a father if this was my child!

I know ... as if fathers

I know ... as if fathers need more bad press.

IF he "abandoned" her, I think he should get the death penalty. Do they have that in Australia? I hope so.

The truth is that positive fathering gets almost no media coverage (thanks to Scott and Stefan for getting this site in the news), whereas crap like this, JonBennet Ramsey, Madeline McCann, etc. gets shown over and over and over and called "news" [rather than voyeurism, which it really is].

I think it would have been

I think it would have been more appropriate to call the dad a PUMPKIN! -Stef
