Awful. I bet the parents were on drugs, since it was neglect.

[pinkandgreenmom]

Heartbreaking for that poor little baby.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The screaming of that child must have been intolerable...for any normal human that is.

I'm assuming it was left in the swing and purposely neglected.

[jjotto]

Koehn would be typical pronunciation. Likely in German it would have an umlaut and sound something like kerhn. Looking at the guy, I wonder if it’s a stolen identity.

[liberalism is suicide]

Yep,the death penalty in this country is seriously underused.

[Wuli]

Cultural devolution (evolution going backwards).

[FreedomStar3028]

No way this was neglect.

Even drug addicts take care of their kids normally.

They did this intentionally.

[chris37]

What the...

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Meff. It’s always meff.

[Horatio Gates]

Disgusting wretched “people”...that poor baby. Heartbreaking... Looking around on a Facebook, account I keep for research, these two cretins had time to play around on social media, while the child they killed lies dead, the day before they were arrested

[neverevergiveup]

If that precious child was born in a hospital, I want to know what hospital and whether or not they had questions about this ‘couple’. I am a very big proponent of civil liberties and limited government, but I also strongly feel that if there is any question of whether or not a child is going to be safe, great attention needs to be paid. There are usually multiple well-baby visits in the first several months of life. If parents don't show up, questions need to be asked. This isn't about the civil rights and privacy of the parents. This is about the welfare of an innocent child.

Meth and heroin are terrible things

Likely a German name, but some parts of Germany are now parts of other countries and the genetic makeup of Central and Eastern Europe is a mixed bag, anyway. And there is what we in my family call the 'tanning gene' that is common among people of German descent. My mother had it, a couple of my daughters have it. Some people just tan well. I always burn at first, but my daughters just get good tans. It may be an artifact of the Mongol invasion of Central Europe that got into Poland, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech territory and assorted other places. I knew a Hungarian girl that had the tanning gene, too. You can see the Mongol influence in Eastern Europe, it's pretty evident. So, the guy actually could have a lot of German in him, but names don't really say much in America any more. He could have that one German ancestor and be almost anything else.

Regardless of his ancestral origins, he's probably just another scumbag undeserving of the right to reproduce.

Instead of a jail, drop them in the nearest pig sty, with a hungry boar

[MichaelCorleone]

What a horrible death he must have suffered. Nobody anywhere heard him crying/screaming?

Sterling is now in the loving hands of the Almighty; never to shed a tear or suffer pain again - ever.

[Delta 21]

Exactly. Put em down like rabid dogs. Walk away knowing you did the right thing.

[bk1000]

“People used to know how to take care of people like this.”

Yup. And you’d never hear about it. These two will be getting three hots amd a cot on the taxpayer’s dime for 40 years or more. Only 20 if they get the death penalty. Someone will determine the parents were actually the victims because they couldn’t cope with Clinton losing and they will need treatmemt and support instead of prison.

[patriotfury]

This unwanted little one went through much pain before he died.

Testimony from cutting edge medical research, has already demonstrated that the nervous system of even unborn children down to 5-6 weeks, are capable of feeling significant pain. This is real.

The life of a little person should not be ended because of the immorality of the parents! The little one did not do anything wrong!

This is happening much more across our country. Stories like this are popping up all over the place.

A swift Death Penalty is the only possible response, as these people have no fear of God.

While it does not answer the question of justice here on earth, little Sterling was far too young to be of an age of understanding of right and wrong and too young to reject God and the sacrifice of His Son as payment for the sin we each commit, I believe he is now with the One who is holding him with open nail pierced hands...

II Corinthians 5:1-8 (8)”... to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

God gave little Sterling life, and cares for him. For anyone who has not read it, please read - *PSALM 139 1-18!

Gods love for little Sterling, and His justice against evil can be our only true constellation.
