im referring to the 4 year old daniel pelka thats been in the news lately...
i think my hormones arent helping... but everytime i hear/see anything about it my stomach lurches..
when i hear how he ate from bins, got held underwater, or fed salt, i feel a sense of desperation to save him somehow... i know hes sadly died and hes not my child... but its just so heartwrenching to see how he suffered in such a barbaric way and noone thought to take him into care...
n his poor brother having to try n sneak food to him and try to find his heartbeat...

i know it might sound like im overreacting but it has just really broke my heart knowing that while ive been well fed and comfy, this boy wouldve been desperate for even just a bite of that food. Sad

it angers me that such vile people could pass themselves as 'parents' when they would abuse their own child, a gorgeous child who did nothing to deserve such sorrow Sad

I have no doubt that both will be imprisoned. Hopefully for a long long time. with some vicious prisoners that will make their life living hell for the duration of their sentance.

I also feel for Daniels siblings, they are likely now farmed out to foster caree, and likely to old to be easily adopted.

How the fuck are they going to feel growing up knowing their mother abetted and aided this?

I cant fathom, how parents look at their children and not feel pure unconditional love for them.

If any man i brought into my baby girls life, mistreated her in such a horrific, i tell you, they would not find all parts.

No fucker would ever hurt my baby and get away with it/

she was, and is weak , vicious woman with a missing piece where her heart and love for daniel should have been

she texted that cxxt , aided him and abetted him

makes my blood boil

I read the post verdict reporting. Unfortunately it was at work in my lunch hour and I could not stop crying.

I look at this little boy and wonder just how can someone be so vile to s little vulnerable 4 year old. My daughter is a similar age and loves cuddles and wants to please me. Most kids do. Can you imagine him never being able to please those foul creatures?
I cried harder when I heard that he wet himself in the presence of an adult male- the result of being terrified of his so called stepfather.
I wish someone had taken him away, but it sounds like - for all the claims of being drug addled- the parents were aware enough to come up with a plausible story regarding his eating/weight loss.
