This story and its characters read like a dark, absurdist, Kafkaesque morality play for 2026 America.

Homosexual adoptive parents should be forbidden.

What a waste of tax payers money. Please ,Oh Please bring back public hangings. You want this shit to stop, then start executing them.

Does the mother hope for forgiveness for herself for giving her child away to these two?

When a culture is transformed by the embrace, acquiescence and tolerance of neo pagan, hedonistic decadence, it is defensless individuals who suffer.

From what I’ve read and heard, child molesters/murderers rarely have a pleasant or long prison stay.

Heartbreaking.

They will be tormented in prison - too bad.

This happened in England but I think there was another case being tried in America against two gay men who did the same to their ‘adoptee”!

I saw the picture in this article of the baby and my heart just glitched!

she is in prison for murder. Kid never had a chance

[ronniesgal]

absolutely, and that mother should be in jail if she knew 2 faggots were getting her baby.

[PGR88]

apropos of nothing - but she’s got the legs of a dedicated athlete.

Life in prison leaves a lot of time for cross-training, I suppose.
