Couple carry out campaign of sadistic abuse

Just something else to echo in my brain when I have to listen to some dipshit tell me that "No one would ever hurt a child with a disability", or, "But their (your) parents must love them (you)".  Denial like that enables horrors like this to happen.  It's ironic, or just fucking infuriating, when you

Excuse my rant

The time they were given to serve is nothing............
It breaks my heart to think of how much this innocent child suffered and will continue to suffer with the memories of what her "parents" did to her. What makes people snap and behave this way? If anything she deserved extra patience, extra care to help keep her happy and well cared for. Jail is nothing.... they deserve to be left in a field somewhere without shelter and water and let the buzzards feast on them. Then maybe they will have an idea of what they put their child thru. I feel nothing for these sub-humans.... I can only hope they rot in hell. And it really upsets me when people say - "I had a bad childhood etc" As if this excuses their behavior. I came from a difficult life and I could never hurt someone especially a child because I know firsthand what it is like.......... why don't they?

Got here via trinityva's journal. Thank you for posting this. You took the words right out of my fingers as well. Speaking as a woman who has been berated for even considering having children because of my disabilities, I still don't understand how any physical issues impact my ability to love, care for and properly parent a child.

I also get nearly incoherent with rage at people who spout off about how difficult it is to parent a child with a disability. My able-bodied siblings caused a ton more problems than I did in many ways. And that's only the begining of my rant on that subject, which I will force myself not to subject you to, as I don't know you very well.

Oh, please, feel free to rant, I'm pretty sure that you'll be saying a lot of the same things I feel about this subject.

You want to know an ironic thing? My fucked up AB siblings both now have kids, and no one has questioned it. No one in my family, including myself (not because of the disability, but because of the personality traits that have been passed down from my parents) should be allowed to ever have kids, but I'm the only one to make the decision not to, and people assume it's because of the CP.

People are idiots.

One of things that's most striking to me about this article is that they put the word torture in quotes. The article starts with "A sadistic couple who 'tortured' their disabled toddler during a horrific campaign of sustained abuse..."

What the hell else would you call it? Why would you put the word in quotes, as though it wasn't really torture, but people are calling it that, so we'll go along with it.

The whole thing is just so horrific, and this seems to me to belittle it.

Grrr.

Sorry, I can't...

I know. That's the reason I didn't copy and paste the whole article as I usually do. Wanted to give people the choice to read it or not.
