JEDDAH,  Jan.  7--A man tortured his own five-year-old son...

   In a report carried by Al-Madinah newspaper, the man behaved badly toward his
son from the very moment he was born. He did not allow his wife to  breast-feed
the new born child but insisted he be fed with artificial milk...

[article continues at length, details are horrible but it was interesting
that dictating his child be given ABM is presented as evidence of the
beginnings of the abuse]
