I also think it may have been milk not drunk at dinner time and the punishment was ongoing with out next to the tree as the final bit.
I have 5 kids, 2-17 and we tried timeouts for a while with the older kids. It never helped anything. I recently had a FB friend concerned about abuse of a child because of torturous timeout conditions of a friend's child. Apparently it was prescribed by a psychologist. IMO it's absolutely abusive but is also considered tolerable "medical treatment" for unruly children as young as 2.
-Child goes to time out for certain number of minutes
-Child talks or gets up once, time starts over
-Child gets up again, parent uses "Vulcan death grip" on pressure point to get child to sit back down, time restarts
-Child may need to be spanked to go back to timeout
-Continue until child sits quietly for X minutes, *specified* even if it takes 6-10 hours of steps 1-4 to get the child to comply
If this is a (relatively) mainstream and accepted technique for a parent to force a child to behave in our society, I weep for those children as well as those from familial cultures which suggest even harsher punishment for children's honesty inconsequential infractions.
IIRC most of the religions that people from India subscribe to place a massive taboo on killing anything, especially a human. This makes me wonder that if he didn't flat out kill this poor baby, that he left her for dead somewhere in hopes that she'd pass of circumstances that weren't (in his mind) 100% his fault.
