A Chankiri Tree or Killing Tree was a tree in the Cambodian Killing Fields which children and infants were smashed against because their parents were accused of crimes against the Khmer Rouge. It was so the children “wouldn’t grow up and take revenge for their parents’ deaths”. Some of thesoldiers laughed as they beat the children against the trees. Not to laugh could have indicated sympathy, making oneself a target. (wikipedia)
