Why, why I just do not understand things like this. My heart is breaking.
WHAT indeed. More like "what the BLEEEP!" Not much of a father. I can't believe it - sounds like a lot of people saw something bad was going on and could have called it in but didn't.Wait.... what?!
Also living at the house was David Deal, 51, who told The Republic that he is Ame's father. He declined to comment further.
I will be following this. Hopefully these people will get the appropriate punishment. I really hope they don't let the aunt and grandmother off too easy. They don't seem to be charged with murder, but IMO they should be. I would hate to see them get just probation or a short jail stay.Unfortunately it won't end as long as we keep giving these creeps a mere slap on the wrist. Prosecution and sentencing reflects just how seriously we take child abuse in this country and it reflects poorly - just look at the recent acquittal of Casey child-killer Anthony. That about says it all IMO.
We need to "join up" with BeanE's thread. Anybody notified a mod?
I haven't but I can since I started this one - sorry, I didn't look at the other forum since it involved a child and when I typed in the title, it didn't come up. :seeya:
ETA: Done.
We really need to keep a close out for kids who may be enduring this kind of abuse, and call it in to social services when we have suspicions, so it can be checked out, and the child rescued if something is going on.
