The boy's father, Douglas Ballard, and his live-in girlfriend, Heather Peterson, were arrested for willful cruelty and child endangerment..

For some strange reason, I fail to see how this parent was "willfully cruel" to his child for merely posessing marijuana. Hey may be guilty of stupidity, perhaps, but "willful cruelty"?

And police say they've been to their home before to search for drugs. Both are now behind bars, on $100,000 bail.

And Now the child is in the hands of CPS, or in a foster home....certainly that is a far less "cruel" environment. < /sarcasm >

I agree.

Either you didn't read the entire article or you're trying to paint the picture worse than it is: "As for the boy, he is now living with relatives."

For comparison...the Dallas Cowboys cornerback that killed two men (who were trying to help a man out of a burning car) with his 110 mph weapon was released on 50K bail. Yup, the WOD creates some interesting situations alright.

I guess you didn't read the article. He is living with relatives now.
