She discovered the boy and his 5-year-old brother outside when she returned about 45 minutes later, then beat him with a belt and sent him to his room, prosecutors said. When he would not stop crying, she wrapped a sheet from the a bunk bed around his neck and hanged him, prosecutors said.

Queen Prawn Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I read that a few minutes ago. The Good Lord only knows what other things she did to those kids. I pray for the brother that has to live with this the rest of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 People sometimes ask me why I watch a sappy show like Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. This is why. It's nice to have a break from this kind of s*** and see good people being rewarded in their time of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
