Let's not judge too quickly... Nobody knows what or how things happened.

We know they were seen both during the robbery and the night before, but we do not know what color they were. Only that they had black t shirts.

I agree to not judge too quickly, however I have never heard of a parent abandoning one of their children when in danger. Even animals protect their children. Look at tiny birds that attack you who are 100 times their size, dogs, lions, bears, on and on and on. I......would die for my children, regardless the circumstance. It is a natural instinct. Not something that you even have to think about. This is weird, sorry.

Good thing the SS is so politically correct about the description of the robbers! Told us all about their clothes and damn near the model#'s of the weapons, but no mention of skintone

When confronted with something like that, no one really knows how they will react until placed in that situation. It's called fight or flight. The problem is they took flight without taking their kid.

One more thing. Nine out of ten home invasions involve either drugs, drug money, or guns. I wonder if this was one of those.

No, they didn't "left", but they abandoned their child who was in danger to save their own scrawney A$$ES. I'm sure they will laugh in 20 yrs when they tell the story to this child when he is grown up. Oh yeh, mommy and I left you with some robbers that broke into our house...haa haa haa haa, oh this is so funny, anyway, after they broke into the house, we ran outside and left you there with the bad guys. haa haa haa, ho ho ho, we were so scared, but anyway.....you wound up OK, right? So, what the heck, it is a really funny story, isn't it son. Oh, well, you had to be there Well, you were but we weren't haa haa ho ho hee hee) I guess to appreciate it like your mom and I do.

We need to start executing these thugs that think they are so brave to commit an armed act of violence on an occupied dwelling. "Hang em high in the street for all to see"

As far as the color of their skin, I have no doubts they are NOT white Americans.

Hard to believe, but I wasn't there. Playing devil's advocate, suppose the mother went to the child's room, picked him, and as they were fleeing the house together, the child gets blasted by the shotgun and has his guts blown all of the wall. Regardless of the parents' actions, at least the child wasn't injured or killed.

I'm surprised with this poll. We were not there, and as sad as it seems if they stayed they might have all died. The robbers are less likely to kill a small child as they are someone who can have the potential of killing or maiming them or ID them to authorities.

Somewhere along the line modern American's have forgotten about survival of the fittest.

Now why the robbers were not just shot and killed while in the home is what I wonder. But maybe they were anti-gun or felons and could not have a firearm. I ave no idea.

Still sad that people would break into a home looking to kill and steal. Sad the child had to be left behind.

His father used a condom, and he even paid extra for the special air-conditioning feature.

Nice! Women and ME first!

If I were that kid, I'd be calling grandma for a place to live! Screw mom and dad's 'me first' attitude!
