Articles labeled: Michael Ryan

OK, we’re not exactly champions of religion, but we do believe in free choice. So, we definitely side with the teenager who wanted to go to a Catholic high school, despite his father’s objections. Seems like a judge agrees:

Oldham County family court Judge Tim Feeley said in a ruling published Monday that 14-year-old Michael Ryan can attend St. Xavier High School because that’s where he wants to go.

His divorced parents disagreed over whether their son should go to the religious school, which his mother Susan Bisig wanted.

David Ryan’s lawsuit argued that the state’s Constitution says no one can be “compelled to send his child to any school to which he may be conscientiously opposed.”

A couple charged with some of the most horrific abuse I have ever read about will hopefully give this boy the justice he deserves. At 13, he was locked in the attic, starved and beaten so badly he had damage to major organs. There were several other children in the family that went unharmed, at least physically. This is a glimpse into a strange phenomena in which evil bastards will single out one child to abuse.

Just horrible and so incredibly sad…

A Houston couple was charged Friday with the starvation and abuse of a 13-year-old boy they kept locked in their attic, MyFoxHouston reported.

Geneva Foster, the boy’s mother, and Michael Ryan, his stepfather, were arrested and charged with felony injury to a child for keeping the boy locked in a closet or attic without food, MyFoxHouston reported.
