People like this shoud be horse whipped.

Christie and James Osborne need to be chained up in a 6x6 cell and starved for about 25 years. A bullet in the head is too good for them.

[Ohioan from Florida]

What is it with these people? How can the father be that afraid of the mother? I'm sure they'll plead "not guilty" when they get their day in court. I don't care how bad a kid could be. There are other ways of finding solutions to parenting difficulties. This is just disgusting!

[Old Mountain man]

And then hung!

[Gingersnap]

Man, if you hate your kid that much, relinquish your parental rights and give the kid up for adoption.

[KantianBurke]

This is poorly written article.

"The couple also has three other biological children ages eight, six, and five. They were all reportedly well fed and well-kept."

Is the child that was abused an adoptee? There are so many questions that this article haphazardly avoids.

[cwiz24]

How is this possible? Wasn't anyone wondering why this kid wasn't in school? What about neighbors? I disagree with the whole "It takes a village..." crap, but when it comes to watching out for the physical safety of the next generation, neighbors and family should step up.

[cwiz24]

And describing a child as "well-kept"? Lawns are well-kept, not children.

[Nov3]

White f'n Trash. Scum.

[50 Cal]

Scum!

[LarkNeelie]

Actually, it is very common for child abuse to be limited to one child in a family - the scapegoat, if you will. Ugh.

[jtminton]

I DO NOT understand these people. It's just baffling. Hang 'em high.

[Rutles4Ever]

25 years? I'm thinking Super-Max for life.

[RockinRight]

I dunno but it's sick.

[RockinRight]

I'm thinking public hanging...but that's just me.

Det. Massey said, "The father told us he'd leave for work in the morning with the child chained to the bed. He'd get home, [he'd] still be chained to the bed. He'd come home, unchain him, [let him] use the bathroom and tell him 'Go back and chain yourself up before Mom finds out I let you go.'"

Both "parents" appear to be complete looney tunes. The father less so, but he had the greater responsibility as a result to stop this and failed to do so. They'll probably never serve a day in jail and end up in rubber rooms (hopefully in separate states and after both have been sterilized). I'm offended that I have to share the same oxygen they breathe.

[ZULU]

Yes, right after they are castrated and spayed.

[Dante3]

What monsters.

[BigCinBigD]

Evil is real and can be found in the most mundane places.
