Do not go to the link unless you want your heart broken.
...and this is substantially different from the millions of "unwanted" children killed a year how?
That kid sure didn't get perfect parents.
Let me have these parents for a few minutes.... they won't see 5 years.
Ohmigod!
... sure... a perfect mother, except for that killing the child as punishment thing. /sarcasm
I'm glad it wasn't that new FN 5/7 that was used to kill the poor child. The Brits have become the most resourceful people at murder since their guns have been taken away. Go figure. Now I suppose the police will want a ban on salt.
And they couldn't just return the child to the adoption agency instead of torturing him? Sick.
I only pray that God lays judgement harshly and swiftly.
There is some supremely ironic about these last words that your post picked up from the newspaper. It is probably fortunate that the couple wasn't able to reproduce, and tragic that they were able to get hold of someone else's offspring.
My heart was already broken so I went to the link. What an amazingly beautiful little boy.
It seems that UK does the same stupid things with chldren from troubled homes that we do here--snatches them away and places them in foster care without trying to help or rehabilitate their natural mothers. Christian's mother was not perfect, but she was not a criminal either, and might well have benefitted from parenting classes, therapy, day care, and other methods of improving her parenting.
Here in the USA, child protective services (CPS) earns bonuses of thousands of dollars of federal money for each child they place outside its natural home, leading to horrible abuses of natural parents who would clearly benefit by developing parenting skills. A disgrace!
That was justice? Det Ch Insp Steve Cullen, from West Mercia police is a moron just like the judge...
That's just bizarre. Not to stick up for the "parents", but did anyone here know that 4 teaspoons of salt could kill a child? I sure didn't.
Of course that doesn't explain the 11 bruises around the brain....
One can only hope the court has dispatched the men in white coats to fetch Angela's father and put him in a secure psychiatric facility, after this inane comment.
Don't want my heart broken anymore by these MURDERERS and so called PARENTS so I won't go there. But...5 years??????????? They should be put away for the rest of their miserable lives. How DARE they sit in judgement about how imperfect this child was. He was a child of God. Same as all of us. It is THEM who are imperfect. They'll meet their maker too one day and then they'll find out just how IMPERFECT they are and how PERFECT God is!
Are we witnessing the slippery slope of Roe vs. Wade?
Surely someone will give them their just desert somewhere down the line. Quite probably in prison.
