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?

Yeah, but if she was getting the crap beat out of her as well, she was probably terrified of speaking up.

Parents forgot “thou shalt not kill”.

It continued over the course of at least a week and so the foster parents were well aware of what was going on.

This death is a terrible tragedy.

But when reading the article, I’m guessing the real enemy the MSM wants to focus on here is Christianity because Bible versus come into the picture.

I disagree, his court-appointed parents are responsible. Just how in the hubs of Holy Hell did such monsters ever get appointed as parents? Look at the picture of the woman, she does not even look normal.

The village is the problem, not the Bible.

It's a fine line.

You want your kids to grow up knowledgeable about Scripture, but you don't want then to hate it by associating Bible memory with punishment.

God's prescription of teaching Scripture....

Deuteronomy 6:4-9“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.

You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

They nearly lost me with all that, it was a very strict school. I did rebel well into my 30’s but something kept holding me back from really going down that path. As I said I still have issues with certain types of Baptist to this day, but don’t really hold a grudge I just disagree strongly with some of their beliefs and behaviors. Other Baptists are fine by me, half my family is or was, just not that particular denomination.

Saw photo of damien looks weird too. mom name is Andrea Everett. There was abuse by her, a dad, boyfriend and another unnamed person. In the article she said Ethan died while under the care of his uncle Ethan and Timothy share same last. Damien said house was a prison no fun when kids moved in.

No fine line. That is b.s.. You don’t hurt your kids in God’s name. Better to be an atheist.

The 14 year old (at the time) covered him with 80 lbs. of snow and he laughed about it. See video and how he towers above the officer.

Man, I would just love to wipe that smirk off that boy’s face.

I wonder if he’d think it was so funny if it happened to him.

Speaking of names...

Saint Damian, titled a Father of the Church (11th century) also was a man well-known for abhorring sodomy, and wrote "The Book of Gomorrah" about abominations committed by unchaste clergy. Somewhat in the news lately.

Those two don’t look to be too well versed in 11th century church history. It was the pop culture Damian.

described covering Ethan “in his own little coffin of snow.”

What is likely true that the media won't ever report:

(1) Was this boy was tortured and murdered for BEING Christian
(2) Were the "13 Bible verses" actually a form of mockery of his stated Christian beliefs
(3) Why was Ethan and his twin brother removed from their natural home and placed with these psychopaths? Who was the judge? What were the case details? Did these people have prior experience as foster parents?
