Make the punishment fit the crime. Chain them up feed them a piece of toast and a half glass of water a day until dead. They can't say they didn't know any better. This absolutely disgusts me, and I'm unfortunately sure either some dumb prosecutor will offer a slap on the wrist or a liberal appellate judge will let them slide.

People call me a "liberal" and believe me no one is going to let these people slide. They deserve life in prison.

This would be a fine example of why abortion should be used in some cases as well as the death penalty. There is NO reason either of these so called "parents" should be allowed to live another day. They didnt opt for an abortion when clearly they didnt need this child, therefore they should receive the death penalty. The child died because of their negligence - so should they. Otherwise OUR tax dollars pay to keep worthless people like this alive.

Not to mention the 6 year old will remember these events, & who knows what things that happened in that home for the rest of its life.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Pisces

You're raring to go today, especially on domestic projects. You'll achieve a tremendous amount if you're allowed to proceed at your own pace and in your own time, but you'll soon get ratty if you suspect someone is breathing down your neck or trying to tell you what to do. You'll also feel irritated with people you know really well, so be prepared for a few fireworks.
