Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
That is the name of the little 4 year old boy that they buried today in Virginia. He was beaten to death here in Utah by his Step Father while his mother stood by and watched. He did not only beat him one day and went *a little to far*, he beat him multiple days and burned him in the tub.
The mother still did not grab him and love him and take him away and get him some help... She stayed by the monsters side and even left him with Nathan Sloop, her newly married husband, when she knew he was hurting him, until the little beautiful frail boy could no longer take his abuse and he passed away.
TRIGGER
And then to top it all off Nathan and Stephanie Sloop beat the little angels body and face to a pulp with a hammer so that he would not be recognizable and buried him. I AM SO SICKENED and had to bring this to the boards... sorry if it is offense to anyone..
If you know or even think that someone is being abused act quickly and get this person some help.. If we all would just remember that if our gut instinct says something wrong, it is probably wrong.. Dont wait until another human being is injured or dead... Dont wait until its to late.
AMEN...

beastie...wow. you are beautiful. im here if you need me.
even animals do not do this to their young.
it is HARD to live in this world.
This is where I disagree with my liberal friends who don't go for the death sentence. It's also where I step out of my forgiving, loving, understanding nature and feel like doing the same thing to that step dad and mom. Um. Confusion. Anger. Deep sorrow.
So very wrong and sad it happened at all, but to happen so close to home for you ..... I'm Really Really sorry. You are such a good and loving Mom and Grandma, this must just tear at your heart and soul. Sorry.
we CANNOT ignore this. ever.
bistro.....i applaud you. (not just `cos of the neil young :)
it was of horrific child abuse.....it has resonated with me ever since....
I was not abused in any way as a child, and feel very fortunate for it.
Peace and comfort to those who have endured that.
bistro..you are so right. captal punishment is not the answer, but shit, in this case it would feel so RIGHT!
the problem with killing them is that i almost guarantee that they learned these patterns of abuse from they themselves living through horrors....it is that cycle, generation after generation.
lock em up, throw away the key, and move on.
it sounds like outright insanity to me.
I myself do not believe in the death penalty for a number of reasons, one of them being that it is the easy way out.
These animals should instead be stuck in a small cell with minimal human contact and no TV for their entire lives.
