The Osceola Sheriff's Office took the boy to the hospital where he was treated for ligature marks on his wrists, burns in his ears from cigarettes and for internal injuries.
Both women accused each other of the abuse, some of which included tying the boy to the wall with shoestrings and making him stand for long periods of time. The abuse may also have included kicking the boy in the stomach, breaking his toes, forcing him to drink shampoo and keeping him from attending school so teachers would not notice his injures.

I hope they go away for a long long time. Luckily he was found before he ended up another dead child from abuse. They don't look like either of them missed any meals, in fact, they must have been eating his. I don't know how people can get in on torturing children.:furious: Lock em up and throw away the key.
Poor little boy! Give him to me, I won't starve him or beat him, I'll teach him to love learning, reading, and music/art. :(

What is the point in this? What did these women get out of this? How can you literally torture a child? Tie them up and punch and kick them? Break his toes and force him to drink shampoo? How in heaven's name??? Please tell me these beotches at least were crack addicts? I mean - I'd hate to think these were women in their normal minds to be able to do these things.
KatK I'm with you... every time I read stories like this I just want to take them in, to hug and cuddle and love these kids, take them to the zoo and feed them cotton candy... do all kinds of things that I'm sure my child almost takes for granted, including going to school in nice, clean clothes after a good night's sleep in a warm, comfy bed... :(

What is wrong with people? This poor little boy. He's probably thinking being in the hospital is a treat compared to that unspeakable torture.

The child's parents are in jail, and his aunt - who had custody - died.
Stevenson met Martin online, and agreed to move here.
Deputies say the two women didn't feed the seven-year-old boy, kicked him in the stomach, forced him to drink shampoo and burned him with cigarettes.
Investigators believe the abuse may have started in 2005 but intensified in the last few months.

The 2 pos abusers should recieve vigilante justice. No trial needed as they will only abuse again.
May God protect this child from further abuse.

Bless this poor boys soul. How did they end up with him? This is crazy! I hope that they are charged with attempted murder on top of the abuse charges. They dont deserve to ever see the outside world again.

I'm speculating, of course, but I suspect these women have a pathological hatred of men and took it out on the little boy. You are right that they are not of sound mind.
(If anyone is wondering, no, such hatred is not typical of lesbian partners.)

Makes me wonder how the aunt died. I wish we had the death penalty for child abuse cases!!!
Please, tell me we'll read he had a turkey feast tomorrow? I'd give him mine, if I could. He needs it more than I do. This breaks my heart. I'd love him... I wish I could at least mentor him... He needs teaching, and loving, and nurturing so he can grow to try for his full potential.
ETA: I couldn't get past this part because I broke down crying.
When a bleeding 7-year-old boy was found wandering through a Kissimmee resort begging for food this month, his plight touched off a child cruelty investigation that led to the arrest of two Baker County women who had the boy in their care.

Good lord what a nauseating pair of monsters! There's no excusing this based on gender, orientation or anything else & I say this as a woman who loves a woman.
I think these two would be a danger to any child, regardless of the child's gender.

Maybe so, but our culture is obsessed with gender and parents often do treat children of different genders differently in various ways (abusive or not).
When I speculated above that these women may be avenging themselves against the entire male sex, I in no way meant to suggest that such a motive could excuse their behavior, regardless of how badly they may have been treated in the past.

The article said that it was because this boy was racially mixed/:mad:

That is part of one defendant's charges blaming the other. And it may be true, but I also suspect the actual motives may be complex.

This reminds me of the baby lollipops case. The mother got the death penalty and her partner got 40 years. Thier motive was because they hated males. I am not saying that this was positively the motive but it sounds similar.

Yeah, gender can be an issue in the same way as any molester or rapist uses it as an excuse to avenge him or herself on their victims for real or imagined wrongs from the past, but in my opinion these two just used that child as a convenient punching bag & they should be punished accordingly.

I agree about the punishment, regardless of their motives. To me, motive is of interest only as a matter of discussion.
I'm no rigid devotee of Freud, but I do think there's merit to his basic premise that we are deeply influenced, consciously or not, by our responses to gender. (Of course, he was an absolute nut about it! :D)

This is incredibly sad...
When one reads a book like "A Child Called It", one's instinct is to think that situation was unique. Sadly, as with this young boy, it is happening more than we could possibly imagine.
One article said that the day-care called home because the child was stealing food...imagine what wrath that must have incurred...
As a school counselor, I have had occasions where a student has begged us not to call parents over one thing or another.... It always gives me pause....

I do think some women are becoming men haters to an extreme degree. However I cannot fathom that bleeding over to innocent children they are supposed to protect.
I have seen so many cases lately of these same kind of abusive women who are doing and allowing horrific things to be done to their own daughters. So imo it is more about the women not the gender they harm. I think any child, male or female, would have been treated the same by these women.
I truly think any mother or woman that neglects, tortures,abuses, sells children to pedophiles or murders them are just the epitome of evil.
Millions of woman and men are abused in the country yearly unfortunately but thank goodness the majority of society and those who have been abused in their past do not pass that pain onto innocent children.
These women deserve no mercy just like they gave this little boy who had a right to be loved and protected.
I hope now he will have a better chance at life to be with someone who truly cares about him. He sure didn't find it with these two incorrigible monsters.

POSTED: Thursday, June 3, 2010
UPDATED: 1:42 pm EDT June 3, 2010
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 7-year-old boy who was discovered three years ago wandering at a Central Florida resort while weighing only 37 pounds has been adopted, according the Department of Children and Families.
snip
Nearly three years later, the healthy, energetic 10-year-old officially left foster care and became a member of a "forever family" through adoption, the DCF said.
"Some may think his life has forever changed, but the truth is, he has changed ours," said Raeann Bacchus, who supervised the DCF investigation in 2007.
Bacchus, who sat at the child's bedside during his initial recovery, attended the adoption ceremony along with the original presiding judge.
"It's a fairy-tale ending and we don't always get that," Bacchus said.

What a horror show! I'd never heard of this case...I wonder what the grand theft charges are about? So awesome that he's been adopted into a loving home.

The grand theft was for $10,000 worth of bad checks written from one to the other and cashed.
