Father found guilty of murdering 13 year old son - Colorado
OhHolyJesus · 25/07/2021 20:58
A case which has been going for some years concluded last week.
"The verdict puts to rest a case that has gripped Colorado and the nation for years. Dylan went missing during a court-ordered Thanksgiving trip to visit his father near Durango. His remains were discovered in the summer of 2013 and Mark was arrested and charged with murder in 2016.Â
Prosecutors said that Mark Redwine, now 59, killed his son after Dylan found a compromising photo of his fatherr_ dressed in women’s lingerie and eating what appeared to be feces from a diaper."

Not for the faint hearted but I did watch the video in the links. It wasn't gruesome in terms of what was showed, more shocking as the mother and brother of Dylan talking to the Mark Redwine on Dr Phil. (I found it sensationalist and coercive, it was way before the verdict of course, but horrible to imagine having to face your ex husband or father who has murdered your son or brother.)
Strange to watch that now knowing he was guilty and the reasons why he murdered his own son, according to the news report of the facts presented in court.
This poor boy and the family, I hope they can find some peace and I hope he rots, quite frankly.

Awful story but not sure why you've posted it?
An example I suppose of what men will do to hide their sexual fetishes, the lengths they will go to to lie and avoid prison and punishment and the disregard they have for life, family and other human beings.
And yes, NAMALT. But this one is.
I've been watching the dispatches documentary about family court. Listening to women would protect children.

Not going to follow the link 
, but from what you've said I totally see why you've posted this. I have no expertise or personal experience in this area (I'm extremely fortunate in this respect) but over and over again we hear of women taking the difficult step of giving evidence in the criminal or civil justice system of abusive behaviour from a man, and the courts effectively say 'We don't believe you'. It may be framed as 'We need this to be proved beyond reasonable doubt and unfortunately your unsupported word isn't enough' but the effect is the same.
Are there stats on how often women make false accusations against men? Not just in cases of sexual assault, but in the family courts. My hunch would be it's a lot rarer than the cases where what she says is true but he gets away with it.

And if he had not murdered the child - if someone else had found the photos and expressed disgust then they would be in the wrong, they’d be the ‘kink shaker’, the whatever-phobe, the hater... the issue would not be the extent to which someone with ‘peculiarities’ would go to protect their kink, their egotistical drive, their god given right to do whatever the hell they want to get what they want.
