You can't use "we". Some would turn a blind eye. Speaking only for myself, I would get quickly and severely involved had I witnessed such abuse.

Sorry to be the one to tell you but the story isn’t about the media, it is about a tortured, dead child.
See if you can work up half as much concern about that as you do about your sterling shining soul, you creep.
How hard did the media work to find this horror story? They could find dozens of equivalents and worse from Muslims?
...
It’s a really bad title. There are other stories with accurate titles the OP could have used.
There’s quite few FReepers who like to post garbage and other liberal propaganda.

Court appointed parents?? Someone knew someone.
These are “court-appointed” parents. There’s a story here somewhere as well.
Horrific as this is, the MSM will glom onto any story like this at warp speed to disparage Christianity.
The bigger tragedy is that the Enemy’s spawn like this just hand them the material on a silver platter.
Dear Lord, what that poor kid went through and his biological family.
There is no knowing why he was removed from them, but knowing the foster care system, it was probably for no good reason. DSS tends to ignore the real abuse cases and go after regular peoplewho are no danger.
I know when we homeschooled, the parents were very conscious of what we did as the DSS was known for targeting homeschoolers for no other reason than homeschooling.
My mistake. I see Damian was their biological son.
I wish I had never read this.
It’s a very disturbing thing, that poor little boy. Carrying a heavy log around? Cross to bear?
I just see too much odd symbolism, there is something wrong here above and beyond murdering him. 13 bible verses? Why that freighted number? Damien, for crying out loud?
I’m honestly getting the sense that the foster parents are trying to blame Christianity for their actions, but other indications are that they’re anything but Christian.
Something’s not right with the story.
Somewhere along the line, the Left has made it a crime to be “judgemental” about others, and has deemed that shame is never justified (unless you are a conservative).
We should damn well be judgemental, and shame should be in our societal toolbox as well.
That didn’t occur to me, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Burying him is what makes me wonder about that.
Yeah, it’s weird all around. You’re right about the Satanic connection with little things like that.
The guy is just pure evil but I wonder what’s wrong with that woman.
I never met Christians parents who assigned Bible verses to their kids for memorization and then punished them for not doing it.
We all taught our kids the Bible and Scripture and their minds absorb just fine by hearing over and over. Forced memorization regimes are not necessary. Regularly reading the word will do it.
Congenital deformity, maybe spina bifida. Neither of them look like kind people.
FWIW, my kids memorized a lot of Scripture, but we NEVER forced it.
I spent two years in a private school run by Baptists and we did do rote memorization of certain verses but we read the Bible through many times over the course of those two years so things with Biblical connotation just jump right out when you encounter them, it might not be word for word but you recognize it. I hated it then, and have issues to this day with certain types of Baptist, but it’s done right for me in life. There’s something else going on with the murder of this poor boy.
From reading the Fox 11 story that was linked, it seems there were three children that were “appointed”, including Ethan’s 7-year-old twin (whom I hope has been moved again). The 15-year-old son was given the responsibility of overseeing the punishment and was too aggressive in his administering it.
Of course, the media is going to latch onto the Bible verse angle but that’s not the issue. The father was negligent in allowing the 15-year-old to beat the 7-year-old regardless of what he was being disciplined over.
Mom, in the photo, looks heavily sedated and I have to wonder why *she* allowed this sort of abuse. Couldn’t she look out the window and see the punishment was excessive?
