Then it would have been legal, i.e., a saline abortion.
Whatever happened to "washing your mouth out with soap"?

Only happened once with me. Never said the F-word in front of my mum again.
I guess they lost the receipt and so couldn't return him for a refund.
If the adoptive couple were poor or of modest means, they'd be in jail for life. Money whitewashed this murder.
Sickening. I think the derisory sentence reflected uncertainty regarding the cause of death - I'm sure the prosecuters would have wanted to go for a murder charge but the evidential problems in a case like this are easily imagined.
Poor kid. Talk about never having a chance.

We were made to brush our teeth with dish-soap - that was pretty nasty!
To the topic at hand - I can't understand what the "parents" were thinking when they expected the child to adjust so quickly. When we were taking our classes for foster parenting, we were told in no uncertain terms that adjustment periods are very difficult, and we would need a lot of patience.

The child was ill.
The article said: The court was told the Gays force-fed Christian at least four teaspoons of salt in his food or drink when they became angry and frustrated at him.
Force feeding a 3 year old salt isn't an accident. Go cry about it elsewhere. These people committed murder.
Did you campaign for the release of Tookie Williams?
How about Ted Kaczinsky?
Interesting that you choose to post your *cough* intellect about a case that was proven.
Innocents indeed.
How about I force feed you salt and see what happens?
