(I would spoiler the story but I don't know how to here)
I copied some of my comments from another board.
I am still tearing up over this one. I am not usually this emotional. I just, there are no word for the sorrow I feel for the children and the anger for the perpetrators (I cannot use any reference to humans).
I have heard from a friend who used to be an EMT in that area. There is more that has not been released. And probably never will.
There are ways here that they could have turned the children over to CPS or family members or even a church. What they did was incomprehensible.
I am a firm believer of the punishment should fit the crime. I cannot even think of a punishment that would be enough. Death is too easy.

They both should be put to death. I think more so the breeder, she was suppose to care,love and protect her child. To allow your "boyfriend" to beat and abuse their own child and also helped them are worse then a animal. Animals protect and care for their young unlike this piece of crap.
I have no nice words to describe that thing that was suppose to be that poor sweet little boys mother.
Usually I can handle stories like that. I mean they effect me, but I can handle it. Im having a hard time with this one. So, please take the warning g seriously.

(((Hugs))) If it weren't for the brother needing prayers, I never would have posted this. I am still crying myself every time I see this. I am usually the strong one and can handle the gory and nasty. This is just heartbreaking. and infuriating. It's a combination of grief, sorrow and despising anger.

I agree, it's the same for me. He does need our prayers. I hope he is safe now.
Well, realistically unless they put them in solitary neither of them will probably live until the trial. There is a very high likelihood that they will get picked off in prison.

Hopefully, it's painful and tortuous.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
I read this yesterday & it chilled me to the bone. I can't wrap my head around how cruel they are. So completely & deeply inhuman. I don't have adequate words.
I read all three books. You can't read it without crying.
Some of those images I will never get out of my head.

No I can't either. I cry even telling someone about the book. Some people are just evil. That sow and her turd are evil. I'm with chef, can't call them people.
The following is not meant to put 100% of the blame on the mother AT ALL. Obviously, the boyfriend probably inflicted most of the physical damage.
HOWEVER....
children living in homes with an unrelated adult male are FORTY EIGHT times more likely to suffer from physical or sexual abuse than those who live with two biological parents, a father and an unrelated adult female, or a single parent. Presumably, this statistic includes responsible step-fathers and maybe even adoptive fathers, so that makes it look even more gross for the random males that so many single mothers seem to let into their children's lives.
When you have children--whether you are a father or a mother--you have to make better decisions, but the reality is that it is much more dangerous for children if a custodial mother makes a poor choice here than if dad does. I don't know whether or not this mother was abusive before this boyfriend came into the picture, but I'm betting that left alone, it would never have gotten to this point, the point where they killed this little boy.
I hope they BOTH get the death penalty.

Well, I could agree with you--but then we'd both be wrong.

The bolded. The dear little one's pain is over and he is now in a bright, beautiful, pain-and-tear-free place, of that I have no doubt.
He was such a cute little guy, too. Red hair like my oldest son.
I know there are MANY, MANY parents out there who are struggling financially who are excellent parents.
But...
...this stuff doesn't often happen when dad is an accountant and mom a real estate agent. It's sadly not a shock that she works at Wal-Mart and they live in a trailer park.

I have read these same stats. Women who bring home random men who are not committed to the family through marriage are total idiots.

Have I been lonely a time or two in my life? Yes.
Have I missed having a man around for all those things a man can do? Yes.
Would I make the exact same decision again? In a heart beat.
