Peggy Edenfield agrees to testify against husband and son

<quoted text>This must be absolute terrible for Mr. Michael Barrios to final have to accept and agree too.

What makes you think the Barrios accepted or agreed to anything? They don't have a say-so in how the prosecutor runs this case.

"The Barrios family understands why this is being done, and they approved of withdrawing the death penalty for Peggy Edenfield. We wouldn't have done this without their agreement," Kelley said.

You are 100% right, Christopher is with the Lord. He is also with the many other angels that have left before him and after him. He has plenty of good company.
I try not to think of the negative, when I think of this Little Angel. He has touched my life and the life of many other people.
The death penalty is to good as prescribed in this country. To bad that I couldn't take the whole Edenfreak's family down a memory lane to my country of origin.
They had a special death penalty for enemies of the state (political prisoners) and child molesters. They really knew how to do it in the old country. Of course, we didn't have to answer to the ACLU.
May God continue to Bless the entire family of Christopher Michael Barrios JR.
And please, I don't want to see the RIP logo. He is to young for that stuff. Let him have a party every night. He can rest in peace later.
Enjoy yourself Christopher, you deserve it more than anybody else.

I could not have said this any better! you are correct Christopher is with so many other little small angels in the safety of our LORDS hands, safe from all harm and evil. I am glad the edendfields will get what they deserve, even though the peggy monster will not get death she will get what is coming to her, GOD said vengance is mine! Christopher has touched so many lives, I feel so much love for this little person I never knew and I always will. I think about him when I see the pretty Christmas lights because I know where he is the lights are so much brighter, so much better, so much prettier and all he feels is peace and happiness and safety. Sometimes I don't want to know the whole story of what happen to Christopher Barrios and other times I do want to know because I feel if I hear the story I am taking some of the pain and feeling his pain and that is the least I can do for him is to hear his story. Then I hear the voice of the LORD say, I am with you always... and I know he is with Christopher and was with Christopher at the time of his attack and I know GOD is with Christopher forever.

I know Christopher is having such a wonderful time in heaven this Christmas and the best thing is everyday is JOYOUS and wonderful there. Love to the Barrios Family this Holiday Season. May God’s peace and joy rest upon you!

It is my sincere belief that once the attack on Christopher started, his guardian Angel took over. At this point, the little Angel joined the Lord in heaven.

It is also my sincere belief that Christopher like all other Angels in heaven, do not remember the bad times. Only the good times.

What kind of heaven would it be, if you remembered the bad times. I don't think this would had been built with the Lord's hand. It would be imperfect. It is just common sense that we only remember the good times. How could you enjoy heavens if you remembered all the rotten times that you had down below.

I have travel to South Florida a few times in my lifetime. I have been through Brunswick GA, on I-95. Never stopped there. Never met the family of Christopher Michael Barrios Jr. However, I will be looking for Christopher when I eventually make it to heaven.

Don't know how long I will stay in hell. Or how long I have to stop in purgatory. But when I eventually make it to heaven, this is one Little Angel that I will be looking up.

I am hoping that the trial make it to the Court TV. I like to watch the Edenfreaks go Down. It will hurt like the devil listening to the details, but it will purify our souls. It will make us a better human being. Next time you see your child, or your wife, or someone that you care for, you will hug then and kiss them. You will tell them how much you love them. You will be so glad to have them near you.

Wishing the best for You, Little Angel.

uhmmm Yes I too feel that the angel took over once this horrible attack started, I feel that GOD somehow took Christopher out spiritually and Christopher was no longer there. I think the angel acted on Christophers behalf even with words spoken "you are hurting me" because GOD knew those words would be used to convict these horrible animals of this crime. I too believe Christopher and all the other little children and people there don't know anything but peace, happiness and joy with our LORD GOD. Don you seem to have a good heart and spirit and that is GODLY! When you get to heaven you will praising and worshipping our LORD and the other spirits will be familar to you. The Bible states that. Yes I would like to see my love ones and little Christopher too but who I really want to see is the FACE OF MY SAVIOR, JESUS! everything and everyone else is second because of his saving grace that is why Christopher is now safe. JESUS is why all of the slain children are safe in his presence. We must celebrate Christopher's little life! He was a true gift from GOD and has touched so many of us in a deep way. I hope to visit Chirstopher's grave one day too and yes I hope the trial is on court tv I will be glued to the TV everyday.

April, and everyone else, what really and truly sucks is that even child molesters have RIGHTS. Thanks to the ACLU, Peggy and the rest of the sick clan will have a CHOICE of general population or isolation. Guess which one they will choose? In isolation you are "safe". You have special guards to take you to the showers, to eat, crap, yadda yadda. I don't know for certain, but maybe even have your own cell? These special guards are in addition to what guards there already are in prison. Imagine how they must feel, having to protect these monsters??!!

Why do you think Jeffrey Dahmer didn't get it sooner? What happended to Dahmer was a fluke... a guard turned his back for a moment. Who knows? He may have been paid by another prisoner to "turn his back", just for a minute. Because it only took a minute for that prisoner to gut Dahmer.

I think this case can only get worse as details are exposed. I don't even want to know anymore details! But one of the things that the defense wants to know is what happened to Christopher's clothes? I think they were burned or buried somewhere. That is something Peggy will tell.

I do not want her to get off in any way shape or form. HOWEVER, I do believe her testimony will have a HUGE impact for the prosecution. Without it, they have a harder and possibly longer trial. I can't WAIT, because this is taking long enough.

I used to wonder "how is it that more child molesters aren't "taken out" in prison?" Well, my dear friends, they have rights, no matter how disgusting and deviated they are. They can sit in isolation ALL BY THEMSELVES. We can only hope that she will be "cute" to someone.

I've even considered sending mail to the prison they end up in, hoping to get it to someone who can tell someone else what the Edenfreak's did so what happened to Dahmer can happen to them...even though that would be TOO good for them!

This whole case makes me sick to my stomach, what poor little Christopher went through I cry thinking about. These animals need to be put away for good , it needs to happen soon and healing needs to begin. For a community or the family healing truly cannot begin until these animals are disposed of for good.

No matter what happens, I don't think the family will ever fully heal. What family could? I think if something like this happened to me, how do I just "go on"? I know parents do it, and it's a miracle and takes a lot of prayer and help from family and friends, maybe even psychiatric help...but I don't think the Barrios family (or any family) can ever fully heal.

This family has been almost literally struck through the heart...even with the defendants in jail, nothing can ever fill the empty hole that was put there because of what this monstrous family did. JMHO.

I agree Caring Mom. This is just a lot to handle. And like you said it takes the hand of GOD to get thru something like this because I don't think I would want to go on if this had happen to a baby in my family. One day when the edenfields have been put to death, perhaps the family will have a little sense of closure. I think of Christopher so often and I try not to let the thoughts of what happen consume me because of the nature of the crime, and if its this hard for me I can not begin to imagine what this family must be feeling. I pray the peace of GOD will be upon them. I pray that GOD will give them the strength to continue on and raise there children and have happiness. The Barrios family should have happiness again one day! GOD and time will ease the pain! I Want happiness and joy and peace for the Barrios family despite what the enemy has done to try to destroy this family.

This case shook my very existence. I will never be able to ride thru Brunswick without feeling the chills on my skin. All that is needed for evil to survive is for GOOD men to do nothing. Rabid dogs are so sick they have to be put to sleep to protect the mass.

I fully agree, you can never fully heal from something like this, who could? but justice does help make it a little easier to deal with.

Noone can ever replace the loved one taken from a family, time helps us to deal with it a little better, day by day but the hole is always there.

On the other hand though, no family should ever have to live knowing that the very people who put that hole in the heart, took little Christopher from their family are getting plea deals by prosecutors who seem to not give a rip about the justice that needs to be served.

That pain is a whole different pain that no family should feel.

Yeah well the Edenbeasts are rabid all of them and need to be dealt with to protect the masses and all prosecution seems to want to do is cut deals.

is that justice? NO it is not.

NO IT IS NOT!!!!!!

What can we do?

I only know what is going on because I read the Brunswick News and News4jax on line. There is NOTHING about this anywhere else.

Since Dale's hearings are supposedly beginning tomorrow, and Peggy's will start soon, can any of you write to your papers and see about getting this out in the public? I am going to do it because I know an editor of a local city paper here where I live and he did publish my letter about Christopher in the Editorial section. I've written so many e-mails and letters already, but now with the hearings coming up... I would say I wrote about 75 emails (including 39 to Oprah) and letters to Nancy Grace, Bill O'Reilly (who despises child molesters), People Magazine, Fox News, CNN, The Today Show, even to John Walsh and never received one response from anyone.

I know it's Cmas and everyone is busy, but how about a quick letter, even right after Christmas Day? For Christopher, for the family. I think we need to help this family because they really need it.

I hope I don't get people thinking "oh I'm just too busy", because if you are on this board you are not that busy!(Please don't take offense to what I am saying, I'm just mad that there is nothing about this story anywhere except for Georgia and Jacksonville.)

Instead of spending 15-30 minutes on this board or another one, let's write an e-mail, but you have to keep it to one page...give the date of what happened to Christopher, when, and the fact that the sick dogs are now sitting in jail and what they've done before. AND how no one wants to talk about this damn case because it's so sickening...but it's not going to make things go away!!!

It's a shot in the dark, and maybe nothing will happen, but we won't know until we try.

Thank you for your time.
