burn in hell for the adults

What is freaking wrong with people? I can understand getting frustrated with your kids, BUT what kind-of monster sees her kid for a couple of hours and can't cope? And who could deliberately do something so cruel?

[pillut48]

This kind of story just breaks my heart. :*(
Makes me yearn for the 'eye for an eye' days of the old west!!
That precious child didn't have a chance!

God holds that little one in His arms now. May these two women be put away for a very, VERY long time...from the pictures in the article of them, the grandmother looks druggy, and the daughter has dead eyes, like a shark. No soul.

And does this on Christmas day. I say we boil the mother and grandmother alive as punishment.

[EveningStar]

Unbelievable.

[Humidston]

My burning rhetorical question:

WHY does the state give custody of grandchildren to the grandparents who screwed up so badly with their own spawn?

And before I get flamed, I'm not saying this is always the case. There ARE exceptions.

[Aussie Dasher]

I'm assyuming they have the death penalty in Florida?

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Boil them to death.

[Aussie Dasher]

Kill a baby three months before birth; kill a child three years after birth. Not much difference...that's where society is heading.

Seven kids? Good golly. And we are probably footing the bill for this. Look at the mom and tell me what copulated with her 21 months ago. She couldn't have looked any better then and she certainly could not have gotten by on personality.

[Army Air Corps]

Yup.

This story make me bloody ill. darwing and quartering would be good punishment for these heartless, cruel "adults".

[Talking_Mouse]

Some people have extremely unreasonable expectations for kids. If I could guess I would think Valerie thought that a 3 year old should pick up after himself (no toys around) and should have the motor coordination of a 6 year old. When he did not preform up to expectation he was punished.

I wish there was some way of screening these kinds of people so they would not have kids, but I don't know of any way.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

The ONLY silver lining is God's will give them justice that they deserve, we know what that is. Those two women already look lifeless. Maybe it won't take much.

[used2BDem]

SEVEN children at the age of 30? God bless that poor little soul who never had a chance. Neither of those women should ever lay eyes on the remaining children.

[jazusamo]

Florida definitely has the death penalty and it's carried out fairly frequently. These two deserve it but probably won't get it.

[Vicki]

What in the world is wrong with so many people today? People are so cruel and uncaring. I can't understand it. In my area a woman with MS had her wheelchair stolen from her and the men laughed and taunted her while stealing it.

How can these people live with themselves?

[ApplegateRanch]

I've asked the same, and been flamed.

Sometimes grandparents just ain't so "grand".

[The Red Zone]

Granny sounds like a monster too, not even to have taken the tot to a doctor. Extensive burns = extensive infection.
