Man please delete thisb, 21b, 21Can't read it, too painful

this is similar to the "baby p" case thats all over the Biritish press at the moment --- highly depressing reading.

magpaul

the difference between this and the Baby P case is that nobody contacted the authorities here. Baby P was seen by 28 different professionals (social workers, doctors and police) and was still allowed to be tortured to death at home.b, 21b, 21fusk is wrong with the world.

As a loving father of a 3yr old that story deeply saddened me. b, 21b, 21You know that they will receive brutal bashings in prison as scumbags always like to think there is someone lower than themselves and in this case this is about as low as a human can go.b, 21b, 21bring on the primal retribution

Good to see that some justice is served, I was following this closely before I left the home country. I believe that New Zealand has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the world, although i'm not entirely sure this is correct.

In East Texas they have a special punishment for this type of trash.b, 21b, 21It's called the "flaming tree stump"

This sort of shit happens too often. Damaged people who are ill-equipped to deal with children being let run amok with babies. Sickening. Every year there seems to be something like this crop up. Like the guy who was putting tomato sauce on his dog's shit & feeding it to the baby he was "looking after". Messed up. New Zealand's child abuse problem is no joke. What an achievement to be among the world leaders in child abuse & youth suicide. Not cool.

that's just completely f*cking wrong. b, 21b, 21Reminds me of baby Brianna Lopez here in NM. 6 month old baby that was raped and thrown up to the ceiling and not caught by her mom and dad and uncle. plus the mom bit her all over her body. sick shit. and I think they only got like 18 years in prison. the whole story is hereb, 21b, 21http://www.krqe.com/dpp/news/crime/The_short_life_and_brutal_death_of_Baby_Brianna_076886b, 21b, 21there's a special place in hell for fucks like these.

Where are all the tuff guys Ive met from NZ... they better sort these low life CUNTS in jail.... and I expect them to cop 10 times worse....The papers should have published the photos of these monsters.. And the mother... that bitch should be burned alive.... b, 21b, 21And F*ck the neighbours and family, hope they feel so guilty they live a long and depressed life, how the F*ck you gonna see a little kid get abused and not do nothing?

another shit thing is they'll probably be seperated from general prison population & be out in a couple of years for good behaviour.
