The writer needs to do diligent work. How did the 5yr old try to poison the brother is not known, repeat of same sentence, and un connected conclusion. This is rubbish, don't embarrass Ghanaian writers.

This is no strange at all. My first daughter who is now in Medical School used to beat his brother when l first brought his little brother from the hospital. Sometimes she will hit him with a cup or comb when no one is watching her. Because, l stopped holding and pamper after giving birth to my son. There was a day l came out of bathroom when my husband was watching soccer 1993 Ghana under 17 world cup. I saw my daughter, she was 5 that time wanted to pull her small brother's unblical cord.

How can GhanaWeb publish such a piece of trash on its site. How could a five year old boy identify a poison and for that matter attempt to poison someone else with it.

Lack of knowledge we really have problems with almost everything tell me how can that boy of this age got in touch with a poisonous chemical and the Police officers refused to find out from the woman? over here this woman will not see this kids anymore the social will take over and this is not jealousy but education on the part of every parent to educate a child to know of a coming new born baby and that will surely help our mothers.This forms part of the bad leadership we don't have systems in place to help and educate the ordinary how can any reasonable person take a boy of 5 years to the Police for such situation very sad I mean attempting to poison his little brother of 6 months old oh men we are in trouble so sad.

This story does not make sense all. How can a 5yr old boy think this far?, where did he even get the poison n how did he know that this substance is poisonous?.

A five year old boy can't plan to kill his own brother. He may cry or fight with him which is normal for every child. But to poison him, I will never believe that.

Ghanaweb is becoming a fake news site now. A webpage bearing the the nation's name should put out more educative and sensible news out for it's readers to enjoy.i can't even ask my child to check this webpage or any other webpage in Ghana for better news because they spend much time publishing news about sex and dirty politics which isn't good for the development of the nation .

How did the 5 year old boy get the poison? How did he know it was a poison? The source need to do a lot of investigations except that the story is false

I agree with u my brother. Rubbish indeed. If I were to give marks, writer will score 0%. Attempted to poison - and poison means? Rat, cockroach, snake poison? Writer did not say how the 5 year got poison - whether he was forcing into the mouth of baby or otherwise. The time it happened? Mother reported child to the police? This can't be correct
