To think that these person/s deserve a death sentence? (Child abuse)

A 4 week old baby boy who has been raped and beaten this baby boy not only suffered from rape, but from such severe beatings he has been left with all his ribs broken, a broken arm, broken collar bone, punctured lungs and severe bruising, he has even suffered a cardiac arrest at such a young age.

How can people do this to a child? If a person has a child they do not want they could always leave it at a hospital or in a police station, surely that would be humane? This is just sheer evil.

I totally agree with anger and the desire for revenge, but the state is there to stop us doing it. In our rational minds we agree causing pain is wrong, so we ensure it is not done, certainly not on our behalf.

Round of applause for troisgardens and SolidGoldVampireBat. We all think it's evil, we all feel ill if we read about it, none of us know the details, but turning it into a grief wank (great expression Solid!) is sickening.
LulaBear, I agree that if your life has been affected you look at it differently - but the job of the law is to look at things rationally. It's natural that we would want to kill anyone who harmed our kids, for example, but the law cannot be ruled by emotion. The fact is, applauding one lot of criminals for taking out some sort of mob justice on another lot, is not the way a civilised society should run.

So, so sorry LulaBear. That is dreadful and must feel that you are still being hurt while everyone else moves on (including your abuser). Please don't think that those of us on this thread saying people shouldn't be baying for blood think YOU don't have the right. You have the right to be angry and sad and feel what you feel. I hope you find peace.

LottieJenkins · 08/12/2011 03:12

LulaBear, Im sorry to read what you have been through. Posting your number on here isnt very safe though.............Xmas Sad

Xmasbaby11 · 08/12/2011 03:17

We don't even have the death penalty for murder, so of course not for abuse, no.

spiderslegs · 08/12/2011 03:46

Lulu - call me if you need to - please do.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/12/2011 03:52

LuluBear I hope you don't mind, I've reported your post with your phone number on. It's just really dangerous to put it out there. Please call someone IRL.

SolidGoldVampireBat · 08/12/2011 10:00

Lulubear, are you getting any help/support/counselling? There are various organisations out there for people who have suffered abuse, and it sounds like you might find it helpful to talk to a counsellor or fellow survivor.

crazycrackernanna · 08/12/2011 10:04

As the mother of an abused child....I call for realistic sentencing,not Capital Punishment,torture or revenge.

LulaBear · 08/12/2011 10:20

I've asked that all my posts are removed, I'm sorry last night I was so down and got really drunk, I'm really sorry for hijacking this thread (and cannot believe I put my phone number up!) xxx

Gincognito · 08/12/2011 20:31

Are you feeling ok now lula?

FunnysInTheGarden · 08/12/2011 20:34

I was just wondering the same. Lula, the loss of a baby can be very hard to deal with. You will have a child, but just for now it hurts more than you can say.

And please don't feel awful about this thread. We've all been there!

Take care.

How? How could any judge bail them? This is one of the worst things I have read and it breaks my heart.
