Abuse with no Ending

This was on the news today. A sad story, and I do wonder what he has gone through in his past (so with the other family members). I hope he will get over this and can go from victim to survivor and not think life is just cruel.

This is not Amore!

WASHINGTON, Pa. - A woman in southwestern Pennsylvania locked her 10-year-old grandson in a feces-filled dog crate for about 90 minutes because he told his
family he had been spiking their drinks with lamp oil and household cleaner,
police said.
Rhonda Lehman, 51, also called Washington County's Mental Health/Mental Retardation office and said if someone wouldn't come for the boy, she would bury him alive in the back yard, police said.

Lehman has custody of the boy, who told police he was lacing the drinks with the oil and a cleaner named "Bam" because "he was angry because he didn't get to go on a trip" last year, said Washington police Officer James Markley. It is possible the
boy had been spiking the drinks for a while, authorities said. Family members
became sick, but were not hospitalized.

On Saturday, the boy was put in a 3-foot-by-4-foot plastic dog cage with only a small metal door for him to look out, Markley said. Lehman was charged with child endangerment and making terroristic threats. Police also charged the boy's 24-year-old brother with simple assault and harassment for allegedly punching the youngster.
"When I asked the brother, I said, 'Why would you punch a 10-year-old in the eye?' he said, 'It's better than what I wanted to do to him,'" Markley said. Markley
said the defendants told authorities they don't believe they did anything wrong.
"They were very calm, like this was nothing," Markley said.

Lehman and the boy's brother were in the county jail on $25,000 bail. Preliminary
hearings are scheduled for Feb. 5. A listed phone number for Lehman could not
immediately be found. The boy is now in the custody of the county's Children
and Youth Services, which is treating him for mental health issues, authorities
said.

Terrible Answer on the Question Why?

The stepfather Royce Clyde Zeigler, of a 2-year-old girl Riley Ann Sawyers, lost control and beat her to death because she wouldn't say "please" and "yes sir," an attorney for the girl's mother said Wednesday. That is what the mother and wife Kimberly Dawn Trenor claims.

The "former" mother Trenor is now pregnant, her attorney have confirmed.

GALVESTON, Texas - A woman believed to be the mother of a 2-year-old whose body was found in Galveston Bay told police she and the girl's stepfather beat and tortured the child to death, court documents show.

Her mother, Kimberly Dawn Trenor 19, and stepfather, Royce Clyde Zeigler II 24, were arrested early Saturday and are in custody on charges of hurting the girl. (killed the girl July 24)

An autopsy revealed that Riley suffered three skull fractures, but the cause of death has not been determined.

The girl was beaten with leather belts, had her head held underwater in a bathtub and then was thrown across a room, her head slamming into a tile floor, Trenor said in the document. She said they kept the body in a storage shed for one to two months before they put it in a plastic bin and dumped it into Galveston Bay.

Trenor and Zeigler met a couple of years ago playing an online game, World of Warcraft, and she moved with her daughter from suburban Cleveland to Spring in June.

My heart aches and feel a pressure over my chest when I read this article/news. I cannot scream, I cannot do anything, just helplessness and anger. What is happening? Why do I have to read about these cases so often?

Internet is a good tool but many people are misusing it and spending to much time with it. We complain that our young children are on-line to often, but we need to wake up and get educated. Maybe we can save more children!

Wake up!
