"No but I want the baby. I'll get someone to come by for his things. You're not touching this baby, she said." (Lines 14-15)
This story reminds me of some baby-daddy fight on Maury or Jerry Springer. Except it's ironic because usually the father is not willing to fight for his baby. Commonly, he will cheer and dance around if the child isn't his. It's also ironic that the Mom says that the Dad won't touch the baby, but he ends up trying to take it from her, and they kill the baby. This story is an exaggerated example of how a custody battle usually goes when dealing with two parents who both want their child. The parents fight like immature people, and the unfortunate child is completely stuck in the middle without the ability to walk away from the situation.
It's also extremely ironic that both parents are attempting to protect their child from the other one, but they work together to destroy the baby. Their arguing leads to the child's death. Their issue was not resolved in a manner that was anything close to civil, and they have to face the sad truth that neither will get what they want.
