News coverage - is this right?

I work in emergency services approximately 40 minutes north from where this happened. I can tell you it has affected us all. That poor child and his brother endured more than anyone in a lifetime should. Unfortunately I know more details than I care to know but it is part of the job. This angel will hopefully gain his wings again and have a spectacular life with someone who will never show him pain. What was released to the news is nothing compared to what really happened, I am not able to share more than that.

This story is beyond horrific. No doubt that your co-worker was afraid, conflicted and not thinking straight. Still--children are totally innocent and vulnerable in our society; if a child's parent will not speak up and protect them, who will? The father and girlfriend clearly have no conscience. If the mother does she will have to live with the knowledge that she failed her child for the rest of her life, even beyond the scope of the law.

Just clarifying, because there seems to be some confusion... The woman that Katzateer knows is the wife of the man involved, but not the mother of the two kids beaten so horrifically. The wife does have an 11 month old with this man and I shudder to think what might have happened to that child if this abuse wasn't stopped with arrests.

The new girlfriend involved in doling out the abuse and laughing as the children were tortured is the mother of the two boys who were beaten. There were three adults in the house: the abusers, a man and his new girlfriend (mother of the boys). And the estranged wife, the bystander who did not call and report the abuse sooner.

I haven't heard much about this story since the day they were arrested. I kind of expected news reporters to be all over the place since all 3 of the adults worked at the Walmart in this small PA borough.

The girl I know was not the child's mother. The 2 boys were the children of the girlfriend from a previous relationship. The girl I know is the mother of the 11 month old.

I can only imagine the horrible things you know about the case. A friend works as a pediatric nurse at Children's in Cincinnati and the news only tells part of the story in abuse cases. I have also worked in the office with child protective services in the Indiana Welfare system years ago and saw many many sad cases.
