I know of a last name Lipschitz.

My sister had a professor in college named Dr. Dipschitz. He wanted his students to call him "Dr. Dip."

The boy had been visiting his father, who lived with his girlfriend and their two daughters . . .

Not long ago, there was a thread here about an anti-cohabitation law in North Carolina. Immediately the libertine libertarians on FreeRepublic pounced on the thread, insisting that no harm ever resulted from "consenting adults" living however they pleased. Our thread today offers just one more example of the horrendous evil the "scratch-the-itch" generation has done to its own children. There is a good reason that our ancestors regulated the behavior of "consenting adults," and this is the reason.

I'm sorry the parents should go to jail for this.

Don't be sorry. The "parents" are now responsible for two lives lost. What does this boy have to look forward to? His only hope is to be taken far away and put with people who will actually love him.

Your dad knew Frank Zappa's kids?.

[Ultra Sonic]

Yes...although I may be confusing this with a DIFFERENT family that my dad knew (the family in question consisted of two parents with FOURTEEN CHILDREN). I'm a little fuzzy.

Now that I think about it, I may have been wrong.

[SoVaDPJ]

Back in the days before he had children to name, Frank lived in my neighborhood in Baltimore.

[elli1]

Yes...they are Frank Zappa's kids.

You have to admit to a difference between a child who is having problems dealing with the breakup of its parents and a child who would murder a 7 month old infant.

I think the kid's been twisted by the selfish actions of his parents. There's no telling what another kid would do in the same situation, but it's obvious there was a failure to parent, to show love, and loyalty.
