Warning. One should look over the edge of the cliff before jumping.

Anymore, with parents lacking authority, influence of the media, children, especially 10 year old girls, can be quite a problem.

This may have been a tactic to deal with a child that sneaks out at night.

Not that it was a good tactic, but it may not have been the child imprisonment scenario that the mind jumps to.

Let's find out the facts before rushing to conclusions.

well, why not inject her with abut 50cc's of morphine instead?

It might have been a tactic, but it's an illegal tactic. Looks like imprisonment to me. What else could it be?

There are no conclusions to jump to.

Nail her window shut, and put an alarm on the from and back doors. That would be legal, where as cuffing her to the bed frame is not!!

I can't tell you amongst polite company how revulsive your statement is.

post 4... was I right or was I right?

There simply is no civilized reason to ever, ever, ever, ever chain or tie a child to an object. I don't even want to think for a second the unbelievable terror that poor child suffered.

To even suggest that there may be a possible makes me hope and pray that you never are blessed with a child.

Facts? We don't need no steenkin' facts.

Didn't take long for someone to suggest bypassing justice and just going ahead and hanging them, did it? I just hope that, if the need ever arises, I have people like you for jurors looking for facts.

Guess we don't need no steenkin' justice system, either.

"... Not that it was a good tactic, but it may not have been the child imprisonment scenario that the mind jumps to."

You mean like stories we hear where an emaciated, starving child is chained to a bed by abusive parents?

Okay... but that's not the scenario that first came to my mind.

The scenario I have in mind is a little girl shrieking in mortal terror chained to a bed as a wall of flames that will inevitable burn her alive approaches while her parents flee the house.

What more do we need to hear?! We have a burned up little girl in a house fire padlocked to the remains of a bed, and you're telling us 'not to rush to conclusions'?

Those 'parents' might as well just hang themselves in their cells tonight.

I have read your posts several times trying to fathom why you would state such a thing. I do agree with your theory that noone should be charged, convicted and hung before the facts are out. With this being said, the reasons that you previously stated:Anymore, with parents lacking authority, influence of the media, children, especially 10 year old girls, can be quite a problem. Is that not the responsibility of the parents? You suggested previously that the parents may NOT be at fault. Ok, why? I am the oldest of four children and from that experience I must say that my siblings would have screamed bloody murder if they were locked to a bed. Why didn't the parents notice that she was locked to a bedframe? It's always possible that the girl could have done it herself, but I imagine that she would have had a key near her if that was the case? They don't seem to state in the above article that another body was found of a stranger or of anyone that was outside of the family. So it seems that the family has many truths that haven't been told. Above all it seems that they have let a 10 year old, regardless of any behavior problems, down. They are the leaders of this family. Not an elementary student.

Facts: 10 year old girl burned to death after being chained to her bed.

Conclusion: Hang 'em.

You're concerned the daughter was changing into a werewolf?
