Now, see, this is just the sort of joke Jengaio posted about that tragic case involving the child abusers at that Cascade Center. Not a thing wrong with such a joke. Anyone with a brain knows you are not making light of the child's death. Some things are so horrible to contemplate that we need a break from imagining the disgusting and dreadful events that took place.
The people involved with that little girl are probably serious mental cases--at least, that's what I got, from reading that they actually believed this stuff about forcing water down someone's throat, and hearing about their behavior in the TV interview. IMO, though, their being mental cases does not excuse them from having to now pay the price for what they did to the helpless child.
As for Ed and Lois, if they are really on a cruise (and I'm beginning to doubt that), you can bet that standing nearby on deck are probably an investigator or two, and also probably some people from the National Enquirer.
