.... I wish all these creeps would get done to them exactly what they do to these poor kids.
In most cases, they already have.
You know what? You're right...or they've had something equally as awful done to them. Doesn't work as an excuse for me though. If that rule of thumb applied; that if you had a crappy childhoold or horrible childhood experiences then you too will be a horrible person, then I should be a serial killer or something. You are what you make of yourself and who you choose to be. If it was wrong when someone did it to you, it's wrong to do it to someone else.
I agree with everyone's posts. Something that popped into my head is how in the world is THAT supposed to stop the child from whining and crying? Does the big, bad man feel better now after he "gave him something to cry about"? Grrrr.... I wish all these creeps would get done to them exactly what they do to these poor kids.
Again the mother should be charged. She should not be leaving the child with her boyfriend. Chances are too there has been a history of aggression with the boy, mom probably turned a blind eye to it.

I should not have read the article.
I WISH the same could be done to this .

SCM you are always so compassionate and I really admire that in you. I agree with you most of the time, as well. I just never seem to be able to really feel that way deep down inside, too. A lot of posters here on WS have been abused in some or more way(s), myself included. But I never grew up to do this to someone else, let alone a child. And I consider myself an emotional weakling. So if an emotional weakling can manage not to grow up hurting others too, then it kind of makes me think everyone can. KWIM? I read what you say and I agree... and at the same time I just can't get past the thought that IMO everyone is in charge of and responsible for their own actions and this guy, and many others (m/f) could have chosen to not hurt someone else. I never really knew what was 'normal', either. Am I making sense? LOL
