So Sad

Http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=7079202&page=1

What has this world come to when "parents" do such things to their own flesh and blood.

I happened upon this article while surfing the web and it honestly brought me to tears just thinking of how much this child suffered in his last days, last hours.
A suffering that may of been treatable perhaps even curable.
Then it angered me to think HOW ... could these parents be so heartless.

If you yourself are a parent ... give your child a hug and tell them how precious they are to you TODAY.
Even if you are an Aunt/Uncle/Grandma/Grandpa/brother/sister ect

I can't even imagine this poor little soul dying feeling alone and so unloved.
So sad ...

Ugh... I feel sick.

"His parents, William Robinson and Monica Hussing, were indicted March 11 on charges of involuntary manslaughter, child endangering and felonious assault, according to court documents."

I hope they get put away for life.

"Mason, the prosecutor, called the boy's death one of the most "tragic cases of abuse" he's ever seen."

No doubt.

Poor, poor baby. My heart goes out to any child who suffers, especially at the hands of those who are supposed to love him and care for him unconditionally.

Oh my God, Luanne..I have a boy at home and he was always sick when he was younger. I have spent years of my life inside doctors rooms. How can you watch your own flesh and blood die?I got goose bumps the moment I opened up the page and tears as I read...I hope his parents burn in hell for all eternity:(

That is very sad

Ya true Ingrid..you have done much more than you actually can..and this is just pathetic...
I feel sorry for his parents more than for the poor kid himself.. !! These ppl made me sick

When I first started reading, I thought, why didn't someone call child services? Forgetting that sometimes even they don't do their job. You cannot tell me that this child seemed so sickly to the Aunt that she called child services, yet to them he appeared normal.

I know I can`t understand why in this day and age no one did anything until after it was to late.
I know if it was my niece/nephew something would be done even if I spent the rest of my life in jail for kidnapping. The child would be in a hospital.

I can only imagine his cries that went unheard or ignored in the night.
Poor darling ... may he rest in peace now

Yeah, after reading the article and how the aunt "tried" to step in, I gotta say, I would've done more than suggest taking the kid to a doctor. Even calling child services is a feeble attempt at saving a kid suffering from neglect. I would physically fight my sister if it came down to it. In the very least, I'd pay for the doctor/treatments!
To my understanding, money was the issue. So get a loan. Borrow money. Suffer debt. Sell your car. Find a sponsor. Do what it takes! Life is more valuable than money!! There is NO excuse for child abuse.
GAH!

I have a nephew. He has yellow hair and his nose turns up at the end. His name is Gus and he likes pirates and eating the snow peas in his vegetable patch. He secret sorrow is that he isn't brave.

If he had cancer, I'd return to my old lab, research at night, go against the ethics and grant committees, and find him some cure. Then he would have a pirate ship and I would be the fortune teller and we'd go sailing, knowing the future is ripe for telling.

"He would stand at the bottom of the stairs and say that he needed help to get upstairs to the bathroom and my sister would tell him to get his a-- upstairs," said Slawinski.''

This truly makes one's heart hurt

Those parents have neglected their OWN child every kind of neglect there is.. physical, educational, emotional and medical (when he was in dire need of most of them).

SIX children? they should be taken away from them. immediately. until they seek some sort of therapy or rehabilitation, there is something terribly wrong and I would not say it's only ''irresponsibility'' and if the sickness of their own child hasn't worried them or his death later on effected them then for the life of me I don't know what else would.

I do not think the reason for refusing to take him to the hospital was finical difficulties either. because as far as I've read he wasn't even given comfort at home, let alone an alternative treatment or medication. what kind of parents are these? what's happened to people?
