:jaw2 That just makes me sick. I don't even know what to say :(

[erin anne]

:( I feel sick to my stomach. That is one of the most awful things i have ever heard.

[Brookepanda]

holy smokes. That was a horrible read...that poor child.....how awful!

[howardvm]

I saw that earlier this morning and just do not understand why that man did that.

What else I do not understand is if 2-3 cars stopped while he was in the process of beating that baby, how could none of them not get the man to stop? I mean, if I saw something like that, I would do whatever I could to make the man stop. Try kicking him in the balls, throwing rocks or bricks or something, just anything. It doesn't really seem like anyone tried to stop him until the policeman came by, and it was too late at that point anyway.

omg that is disgusting. i hope he rots in hell for what he did to that poor baby.

[Maritza]

It's very disturbing....:(

[Marisa]

oooh, I'm so not reading this story. I know I sound like a broken record here, but seriously, WHAT is WRONG with people??

[ladybish]

oooh, I'm so not reading this story. I know I sound like a broken record here, but seriously, WHAT is WRONG with people??

I don't think I can read it either, after looking at people's responses.

I am sickened by this....That poor child! That poor innocent child! How dare he! I have no problem saying I'M GLAD THEY SHOT AND KILLED THAT BASTARD!!!!!

[TaivensMama]

that is just terrible! the poor baby...so sad he had to endure all that pain

[MamaLaura]

There had to be something wrong with him... On something (maybe PCP?) or had some sort of psychotic break. I can't believe that any normal person would do that to a child. Especially when people did try to stop him. I wish they had done more, but I wasn't there and can't pass judgment. The article says he punched the people trying to stop him... They may have been hard blows. But that poor poor baby... How awful.

[Kellie_MO5]

The article says he punched the people trying to stop him

Actually it says that he just PUSHED them off and kept at it.. I'm sorry, but if I came upon a guy beating the crap out of a baby or child I would do more than something that can simply be pushed off, whether it's taking a running start and tackeling him, or throwing everything in my car at him.. he wouldn't be able to just push me off.. but then, that may just be me...

I hope he is rotting in hell for doing that to a poor innocent baby

[MamaLaura]

I apologize, I misread. I thought it said punched.

I just think it's kinda shitty to get mad at the people for not being able to stop it. They probably feel horrible enough. And we weren't there. We don't know WHAT it was like. I'm sure they didn't just stand there and stare.

[Kellie_MO5]

I'm sure they didn't just stand there and stare
yeah, me, I'm not so sure... I wouldn't think people would just walk past a man that had been hit by a car crossing the street and do nothing, and I wouldn't think that people would see a woman being kidnapped and do absolutely nothing, but it happened... I have no trust at all that people automatically do the "right" thing.. it's great when they do, but it's not something I automatically think anymore.. which is pretty sad

[MamaLaura]

True... I think usually peoples' survival instincts kick in and they protect themselves first. But it's not quite fair to say you'd do any better/different because you weren't put in that situation.

It kind of reminds me of where I was 2 years ago... I made sooooo many bargains with God when Lucas got sick. I was willing to do/give up so much for him to be well again. It was so easy for me to make those "deals" because they weren't possible. God was never going to be like "okay, sure, you do _____ and I'll give your kid back to you in mint condition". Some of what I was willing to give up at the time are too bad to even confess now.

I know it's not the same, but it just reminds me that until we're in that position, we can't say that we'd do any better. We can say all we want that we would do differently, but we don't know that. Just like I don't know if I would have really followed through on my bargains with God had they been feasible.

i saw this on the news last night and it made me sick. I forgot to post an article after i saw it on the news last night. Its to bad there was nothing anyone could do to save the baby. This is such a sad story.

[wyattsmama]

i want to throw up. i don't understand how anyone can do something like that.

[Shanta]

Man I wish I hadn't read that.....
