Holding a child naked in ice water until he freezes to death! What a rich addition to our cultural mosaic!

[gridlock]

Why, we would have to be crazy not to welcome people with such innovative ideas about child care into our country, so we can learn from their exotic and foreign ways!

[pabianice]

Celebrate diversity.

“the case should have been charged as a lesser child abuse homicide”

Huh?

[JRios1968]

Performing the freeze torture and murder Americans won’t...

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

They’re just killing the kids that Americans refuse to kill!

[opus86]

I recommend slow, torturous execution for these pedazos de caca.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

Great minds think alike. ;)

[gridlock]

I would agree that it is a child abuse homicide. I am puzzled as to why that would be considered a lesser crime.

Not to make light of the tragedy, but it’s ironic the kid froze to death in a Melting Pot.

Utah seems to have a lot of politicians who want to play footsies with the illegal immigrant crowd. I would like some to hear some comments on public record from them now.

[gridlock]

Even more ironic that this pair of idiots, who are clearly not assimilating, work in a place called the Melting Pot.

These are the kind of people many of our “leaders” not only welcome into this country but want to provide them with perks, including citizenship.

They are hiding now.

A child of nine will go into severe hypothermia after only a few minutes in ice water.

I have a two year old who cries if she is not taken into every pool she sees - just loves the water.

However, in an 85 degree pool - 85 degrees - I can only let her in for fifteen minutes before she starts shivering. The 13.6 degree difference between the pool water and her tiny body's temperature is that punishing.

Somewhere there is a very comprehensive table of how long it takes for someone to die of hypothermia, indexed by weight and water temperature - it was compiled by Nazi scientists who killed hundreds of people to gain precise data.

These two murderers were possessed of similar cruelty.

Salt Lake City's Melting Pot

Putting those two in a boiling pot of water seems just to me.

[gridlock]

These are the kind of people many of our “leaders” not only welcome into this country but want to provide them with perks...

Well, here's hoping the State of Utah winds up providing these two with room-and-board for the next seventy years or so...

[Scotswife]

oh my God!
There have been so many stories lately of unthinkable acts towards children.

That poor little boy. I cannot imagine what he went through.

...and implies that death was not intentional.

All she need do is prove that her clients are so stupid as to not realize what hypothermia is.
