Who in their right mind would do such a horrendous evil thing like that to such a beautiful creature? My daughter is 4, and I couldn’t even dream on my worst day in the world even imagine the thought of doing something like this.

The problem here is with divorce and child-support law that essentially reduces many men to being slaves to their ex-wives and children.

It's one thing to see yourself as a provider that's part of a family.

It's another to see yourself as beast of burden and getting little back in return -- no love, minimal family time, nothing.

Sure, the guy's a monster, but sometimes our own system creates monsters.

I pay child support for 3 of my 6 children (the other 3 live with me). So I can understand your argument about the draconian laws that practically make a divorced man a slave to his ex-wife.

But in this context, it's pretty horrific to even seem to excuse the thought of doing such a horrible thing. If my ex-wife was allowed to enslave me, beat me every day, and torture me just for good measure I can assure you I would never even consider throwing my 4 year old daughter off a cliff to get out of it.

So while I understand your statement, I totally reject it as a means of "creating" this sort of monster. There is no excuse, none for this sort of man.

I suggest if you don’t want to pay child support throw yourself off the cliff. Don’t have children if you don’t want to support them.

Absolutely not. The problem is men and woman past the age of puberty having sex without being married and intending to raise any children with love that might result from having sex. After blowing that responsibility off, there's really no other point to the discussion. You play, you pay.

Yeah, it is a real drag fathering kids and having to support them financially. The best way I know to avoid finding yourself in that position is....don’t have kids. If you father them...raise them.

As far as being a slave to your kids...welcome to the real world. But, that is part of the responsibility of being a father or mother.

I am proud to say that I come from a State that will hound you to the edges of the earth to get you to pay child support for your children. And it works....

I hope they fry that demon for killing that little girl...
