I usually don’t get emotional about these things, too jaded, I guess, but when I saw her picture earlier my heart sank..

Yet here I am trying to encourage women to give their kids up for adoption and not have abortions. I could just b!tch slap every one of these loosers.

I did that, and I will never regret it. The son I gave up turned out quite well, and is the proud father of two children.

We can certainly see where they were putting the food they denied the poor girl.

Their being fat works in their favor when they go with the “girl dead had Anorexia” defense.

If it does not work.

Dad goes to prison for 10-15 years.

Mom go to impatient treatment at Trembling Hills for a few years.

Son gets thrown under the bus and joins dad in prison for 25 years.

Grandma walks.

Cousin Josie dies in a herion overdose before her case can be adjudicated.

Looks like they might have a combined IQ in the triple digits.

The ones that turn out well don’t make the news... piles and piles of good news make poor clickbait.
So all we hear about are the exceptionally horrific cases.

I believe Chris Rock once said when you hear the news announced that a man killed somebody that you immediately assume the killer was black. But when they announced that the Killer ate the eyeballs of the victim out, you immediately assume the killer was white.

“Looks like they might have a combined IQ in the triple digits.”

Look at their expressions.

Dad knows he is screwed to the wall.

Mom knows she can play the crazy card and get off easy.

Do all 3 families belong to the same cult?

Did some digging. Looks like one of the families was Assembly of God. For those keeping score, the youth pastor at the church they attended at the time was convicted of sexual abuse.

So perhaps someone does need to dig in and connect some of the dots. There might be a whole network of perverts up there.

If I was representing the man, I’d not clean him up for trial, and portray him as an abused husband and her as the mastermind. He appears to be dull witted, while she appears to be mean.

If the prosecutor is competent, he’ll get an autopsy to see if the victim had been molested by the younger generation.
