http://ktla.trb.com/news/ktla-tied-to-tree,0,326249.story Why do people do this to a child. Reporters show that the child was bruised cuts all over his body and missing flesh from his buttocks. OUCH. I hope these people to go to jail forever and never to be allowed to have their own children anymore. It is horrible to see such things happening. How can you tie your own child up on a tree until he died? What kind of behavior, regardless of what behavior it is, don't kill the boy!!

I not only think hose people need to be kept away from children, and arrested, I actually think they deserve to be executed for what they did to thir son. I think it's absolutely sick. Rarely a day goes y when I don't read a similar story, on line.

I agree with you. There should be a law that states if you are found guilty of murder to a child. The same act should be perfomed on that person. How would they react if they knew that they be hanged for 18 hours two nights and then suffer the pain and agony before dieing. of course, the most thing that breaks my heart. The child also left unloved and betrayed by his own parents too. Which cannot be replaced by anything else. NO child should ever have to go through this.

child abuse is terrible and some people are going to do it without caring about how bad it is. its sad that they killed a 13 year old boy, whoever is responsible for purposely doing that should be killed as well.

I think the police speculates that father and step mom did that to the boy and when he was not breathing, they called 911.

Good heavens, I thought I'd heard it all, but this one is way out there. I can't even imagine tying a child to a tree, for ANY reason. This is abuse, pure and simple. No, it's now MURDER. I wonder what else will open up now that the other children are in custody? Even if this child was more unruly or defiant than the others, tying a child and forcing them to sleep in a tree is way outside the norm for punishment, so I'll bet the other children will have some stories of their own.

I hope the other children will speak up and bring up a strong case against the parent. Imagine the effort of climbing a tree and then tieing, also the act of searching for a branch strong enough to hold the child. all of this shows the parents thought this out thoroughly and knew what they were doing.

I was upset when I heard about this. And I am not even the mother of this child, how can his own parents do this to him? It is horrible.

Oh my goodness!! I am still in shock after reading about this incident, and then watching the video. People are so cruel. And for this horrible thing to be done to this child by his own mother is just absurd. I really would like to know what was actually going through the mother and her girlfriends heads when they grown behinds were torturing this innocent 5 year old child. I read that doctors say that his burns are so severe that he may never be able to open his hands again. So that just means that he will not use his hands. I hope that they put these 2 slim balls underneath the jail and keep them there. This poor baby is sufferring and there is no telling how long he has had to go through this situation. His life is just starting and being so young, i know that its going to take him a long long time to get over something as devestating as this. And the question i would like to understand is...this mother had 2 other kids. Why did she do all the cruel and ugly things to this child and not her other 2? I pray that this baby gets well soon and is placed with a family that will take care of him and love him the way that he needs to be loved and taken care of.

HI punkin, It is terrible what crazy world we live in. No wonder so many parents are so protective of their child that they won't even let their child go their friends house across the street anymore. Because there are crazy people who would do this to their own child too. Actually this response should be posted for the news about the five year, this topic is about a 13 year old . but I don't mind, I also read about it too and it bugs me to see this horrific act with so many parents.

Wow that is a terrible story. I can not believe people can be so cruel to their children. No child, man, woman, or pet should ever be punished the way that boy was.

Yes, sometimes I think the news downplay the tragic because they are afraid of activist starting something. Only really the ones with powers and financial power can pressure the media to speak about such things and make changes happen. But again half of the world is barely getting by with their income.

That poor boy, could you imagine what must have been going though his head. What could the boy possible done to deserve that. I am assuming he was trying to get unties with his butt rubbed raw. These parent need to go to prison. They will probably get out and serve little time. My heart goes out to his siblings. They were probably think they were next. Hopefully they fined a good home. I do not think these parents will ever get there kids back. There are some real sicko's in this world. No excuse for some thing like this. I think it is unforgivable.

Just thinking about it gives me an upset stomache. The poor boy do not deserve this kind of punishment. I agree with you the other kids probably thinking, oh no we could be next. I hate those parents and I wish they get hang on a tree the same way, experience the same punishment. I read the boy also had cuts and bruises on his body, the parents must have put those bruises and cuts on him before hanging in. The parents does not deserve to be put away and spending tax to keep them in jail. They just need to hang to die. sorry it is harsh but nothing is meaner than being cruel to children.

crazy parents. no normal persons would tie a child to a tree to sleep. makes me wonder if they are crazy enough not to feel any guilt to what they have done.

I doubt they even realized what they did. Imagine they also produce 2 more childrens, luckily they are away from these crazy parents and safe. But it is sad if the siblings have to be placed in separate homes.

I'm sure that all of us were raised being told that there are good people and bad people in this world. We just never realize that some of those bad people could ever be our parents. As a mother, I wonder how anyone could ever torture and especially kill their own child. The first thing that comes to mind is that they must have been mentallly ill. But, is it possible that some people are just pure evil?
