Another sad story

O'Reilly just reported on this two segments ago...Yeah, this is sickening and sad. Horrifying. The government really failed on this one. There were so many warnings for it...she could have been saved.

The saddest thing is many children in the U.S. are in these kinds of situations where they are being abused by parents or people who adopt them.

A story like this was here in Vegas months ago. Where a las vegas woman was force to give her child because the Child Services believed she was an unfit mother. Anyways after her baby was taken away it was placed in a foster home where the baby was neglected by the foster parents and died 2 weeks into foster care.

Horrible.
This is somewhat unrelated, but have you heard about the situation in Vermont right now? Let's lay down the story:
Girl, starting when she was 6, for four years until she was ten, was raped by this man. Judge [I forget his first name] Cashman gives the rapist SIXTY days in jail! SIXTY DAYS! That's it!
His reason, literally, was that he doesn't believe in punishment. He doesn't believe in retribution for his crimes. He doesn't believe that HE, the RAPIST, should get punished and not helped, because current statute in Vermont is that you can't get rehabilitation in jail.
The guy's been determined to be a "low risk" offender, but I don't believe that one bit. I mean, look at him! He raped a girl, starting when she was SIX, continuously FOR FOUR YEARS! Outrageous! And yet he only gets sixty days in prison?
The government has even now said that they would let him get rehabilitation while in prison, and is hoping that the judge will change his decision, which he can still do, and I hope he does.
But either way, he needs to be impeached. He can't stay, even if he does end up increasing the punishment 25-fold (to at least 25 years).
I think the evil man needs to get LIFE in prison for what he did! How could this judge not be thinking about JUSTICE for the child--the person for whom the trial was for! The judge wants him to get rehabilitated? What about the little girl! She's going to go through rehabilitation for the rest of her life now!
...I've lost much faith in our justice system in recent days. Just look at all the crimes against children, lack of protection, lack of punishment, etc.

Vermont, as well as every state in the nation, needs to sign into law at least some form of Jessica's law. Colorado's up in the air about it, and I do hope it passes some form of Jessica's Law here, because if you look at what can happen, as did in this Vermont case...wow.

SIXTY DAYS for raping a girl FOUR YEARS, starting when she was SIX. Wow! What happened to the punishment fitting the crime!

(Just to say, I know I used caps lock in a bunch of places, but that was intentional. I was yelling.)

This is just sick! I can't belive that people would do this to their own children.

This is so sad

Omg.
Over here in Holland we have a similar story, a 6 year old girl was smothered, her mother and a girlfriend have been arrested.
And another story that's been going on now; a woman killed 4 of her newborn children (they were born at different times, so this has been going on for a while)...

so sad.

Yeah, in Illinois we have Megan's law.

This is incredibly disgusting. I mean, who could do that to a child?

In Australia there was a case of a young boy who was beaten and tortured,burned with cigarettes and kept in a box in a cupboard.His mother and boyfriend were doing this and living in a caravan/park.The atrocity was discovered when a neighbour in the park walked in while they were tending to his wounds.He was standing on a table,his leg was broken and had healed in a bad way.The good samaritan snatched up the boy and ran off with him and called the police!
He now lives with his real dad and has all these anger/behaviour issues(understandably)while the boyfriend/mother are in jail!
She sends him letters telling him she loves him ETC!!!!
How can claim to love her child if she paticipated/allowed her boyfriend to do these things to him!
I have nothing but bad feelings toward them and hope they are in jail for life!

Agreed! That's horrifying, sad, and madenning!
How could people do such things to CHILDREN!

^ Those people just have a disorder of some kind. If you're in full control of yourself, like most of us, you wouldn't do such a thing. Clearly there's something mental going on with these people.

Republican_Man · **Sun Jan 15, 2006 12:31 pm**

Here's the disorder: Evility. If that's not a word, I don't care. Their disorder is that they're evil. Some of them could be insane, but you can't always pin a disorder on it, when all they are is simply evil.

Last night, on the ride home from my Speech and Debate tournament, my friend told me a story that you may have heard about. It's about a girl named Jeanie. He learned the story in his AP Psychology class. It's perhaps the worst child abuse story I have EVER heard.

Here's what happened (I don't know when it happened, however):
One day a police officer was on patrol and saw a house with bars on the windows. He then decided to enter the house.
After he pulled over he went up to the door, knocked on it, and entered. At some point he noticed a closed and locked door to a room. He asked if he could go into it, and the guy said no.
So, a few days later, he came back with a warrent. The police stormed the room, and what did they find?
A 13 year old girl tied to a chair in this room, alone. How many years was she tied to that chair? 13. Yes, my friends. A girl was tied to a chair in this room from age 0 to age 13.
I ask myself, "How in the world could this kind of a thing happen?"
It's absolutely horrifying. I was just amazed. Horrified. For her entire life until she was 13, all she knew was captivity by her father...How could such a thing happen? How could someone be SO blatently EVIL! It's horrifying.
And just think of what her dad might have done to her while there? Maybe a million rapes, beatings--I don't know. There's no limit to what this man would have done to her...I just can't believe that such things can happen in the world--and in America in particular.

Yeah, you're describing one of the feral kids.
