Horrific case. I'm hearing that more details will be released Monday.

[MizSterious]

You can check out his blog here.

Your link to the blog does not have the article.

[MizSterious]

The article is from the Norman Transcript, and the link at the top of this page goes there. The blog is a different place altogether and this link goes to his most recent posting on it. Both links work for me.

How sick can people be. A ten year old.... No matter how often I hear about cases like this, I'll never understand how someone could murder a child.

May God give peace and serenty to this little girl.

[MizSterious]

Yes, sick is right. And more than one person here: there is also the sicko who was "chatting" with her on the internet, using sexually explicit language. It appears they are treating this as two different cases, but some child predator was also trying to get to this little 10 year old.

Awful. Prayers for the child and the family. May she rest in peace.

"How sick can people be..."

You know, I've become anesthetized to the rest of the horrors, but have never, ever been able to digest the violence done to children. It destroys me. On a distantly related note, I am able to listen to Imus on my long commute/drive because of the ranch's purpose. He's an idiot, of course, but readily admits it; much more, the awful sickness children endure just kills him, and me too. It just flattens me.

[Brytani]

I bet we will find out the animal who killed her has prior arrests/convictions for sexual crimes.

Fry. Him.

I bet we will find out the animal who killed her has prior arrests/convictions for sexual crimes.

Smart money says you're right. OTOH, he's young enough this may be the first time he's been caught.

Or his records as a minor have been expunged...

[Brytani]

I don't personally like Imus but he doesn't just give lip service to helping children. He deserves praise for that.

I can't imagine living in a society where violent crimes against children is no big deal. I fear when that happens, we may as well close up shop.

Those of us who realize there are no grey areas when it comes to children need to start our own society where children can be children and are protected from predators and those who just don't care.

[TheBattman]

Autmatic Death Penalty - at the hands of the parents with baseball bats (or whatever choice of hand tools) should be the price.

If, GOD forbid, anyone were to even attempt to hurt one of my children like this animal, the police had BETTER catch him and lock him away, because if I catch him...

[Brytani]

Child predators rarely begin their careers with murder. Instead, they escalate the violence with each subsequent attack.

If there is a bright side to this, hopefully this child is the only one this monster was able to end the life of.

[null and void]

*sigh* at least for a couple years, before he's out on parole...

[MizSterious]

The DA is going to ask for the death penalty. And in Oklahoma, they're usually carried out.

[laconic]

Is anyone else FED UP with the horrific violence inflicted on children by these vile predators and the fact that they're allowed to roam the streets, often after serving minor amounts of time in prison? Why haven't child killers been put to death and those that kidnap but don't murder children should receive automatic life imprisonment, no damned parole.

[null and void]

*sniff* I love a happy ending...

I read this in another article:

Jamie Rose Bolin was reported missing Wednesday night when she didn't return home. Police waited until Thursday night to issue an Amber Alert because no abduction was witnessed and officials suspected she had run away.

But even a prompt alert "probably wouldn't have helped us recover Jamie," said state patrol Lt. Chris West. He offered no further details.

I just wish they'd search the neighbors' homes when these these kids go missing. It seems like several of them have been found right in their neighborhood after it's too late.

Most predators are easy to capture, because their sick desires cloud their judgement, thus making them pretty inept criminals. Unfortunately, our problem isn't in catching predators, it's in keeping them locked up.
