A 10-year-old boy who died of dehydration after his parents deprived him of water last month was being disciplined for wetting the bed, authorities said Friday.

Documents obtained a day after Jonathan James’ father and stepmother were arrested in his death show how the boy suffered while he was denied drinking water for five days in July. And in an interview Friday, Jonathan’s grandmother said that he had called her in late June to say he was afraid to live with his father and stepmother for a month-long, court-ordered custody visit.

Jonathan died July 25 after he collapsed at the Red Bird home of his father and stepmother, and rescuers were unable to revive him

Bedwetting can result from allergies. It can also signal sleep disturbances. Those morons.

God bless that poor little boy and embrace his soul in Your eternal loving care.

Courts!

Listen!

If the kids do not want to go there is a reason. This stupid “parental alienation syndrom” is another of Satan’s lies constructed by some “psychologist”.

STOP MAKING KIDS GO ON VISITS.

I didn’t hire one fat male attorney who said “The Court can make them go.”

It’s been over 100 degrees every day since June in the Dallas area, while these two animals were withholding water from his son.

I wish I were on that jury.By the looks of them, we’d have to get a reinforced gurney for their last ride on the Huntsville Trolley to Eternity.

Unbelievable worthless scumbags. Too bad the kid didn’t have a choice who his parents were. I’m sure they richly deserve the fate they’ll get in prison. Each should be spayed and neutered AT THE MINIMUM.

These so called parents are nothing but products of the welfare state. Death by dehydration is a slow and extremely painful death... Poor boy didn't deserve this.

There are times when cruel and unusual punishments are fitting for the guilty. This is one such case.

I’m so sorry I clicked on this. Poor, poor little boy. Vile, moronic parents.

Of course, bed-wetting can be VERY psychological. Often abuse leads to bed-wetting.

So sad. Looks like they should be denied a few meals.

No trial. Just cut off their eyelids so they cannot close their eyes and then put a gun right between those same eyes. Make them watch.

60 cents each and this earth will be the better for it. Don’t bury them, just dump their fat carcasses in the desert and let the vultures take care of the bodies.

Rest in peace, young child, you have been rescued from an earthly hell, obviously. God’s speed.

Easy now, you don't want the PETA people swarming over here. The bodies would be the equivalent of super-sized McDonalds.

Michael Ray James and Tina Alberson, both 42, remained in the Dallas County Jail on Friday, charged with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury.

They should be charged with murder. And as we all know, Texas kills its killers.

Evidently they didn’t let this kid out of the house to get near a spigot an hose for water or to shower once a day where he could also “steal” water from this trash who clearly kept him imprisoned for 5 days to keep him from water....

Texas needs to stick those two rabid fat asses yesterday.

105 is the forecast for this weekend in the Panhandle. Been to hot this year....crops an livestock are losses that will take lots of water an work to overcome.

Stay Frosty....

“They should be charged with murder.”

Absolutely, those monsters deserved to be executed. No doubt in my mind at all.

What a horrible story.
