    Just another mother getting away with abuse and neglect that lead to his death. When is the public going to wake up and start holding the jusice system responsible for failing children?

    WTF is this. She knew about it and still let him baby sit her own son. How horrible. How can you know about it and still let it happen? What made her think that he wouldnt do somthing to her own son? Somthing isint right here. She knew and let it happen..sounds to me that it was more of a plan. Our justice system is so screwed up. I pray that nothing ever happens to my daughter that I would need thier help.

    That mother had to have known what to espect what would happen to her own son.It does sound like it was her way of getting rid of him.If she didn’t care any thing about him.Then she should have at least gave him up to a family member that would have loved to have loved to give him the normal family life he should have had.I have no pity on a so called mother who would knowingly put her own child in danger.Your right there deffinately is some thing very wronge.And the system has failed children for way to long.And I really don’t see them doing any better unless they finally wise up and honestly deside to be on the childrens side.And help them the way they should…….

    Well what can you say? , the family covered his a** for years. They should get time for helping him escape the system also. We always have to lose a life before the system will help us save another.
