So I read a story today about a little boy being burnt, has head injuries and bruises all over his body! It is SO sad.
Plaistow Police are looking for 23-year-old Jessica Linscott and 27-year-old Roland Dow. These two are believed to have attacked the child in their home, took him to the hospital, dropped him off and then took off!
There are mixed opinions on this case, some believe it was all the mother of the child since she has had past abuse issues... So sad!
How could ANY mother do this to their child??? As a mother I don't understand people like this at all!

The picture of the couple is not what I`d call a picture of nice people, although I probably sound prejudiced. But I did not like at the way they stare. I cannot understand why those people have their kids. And if they do, why don`t they give them for adoption as there are so many nice children who would love to have a baby. I hope they get them and let them rot in jail

This is where social workers should work on. I wonder sometimes at children taken out of their houses because their parents spank them in the butt if they don`t behave yet it seems that noone is aware of abuse until a child gats burned

No me either, they have a creepy look to them... I don't understand why people have kids if they don't really want them! To do this to that poor little one, I cannot even imagine what their issue was!!
I hope they rot in jail too!

Problem is most social workers.. give these kids back to the same people who hurt them.

I don't know who they are personally, it was a story on Facebook. I read it, shared it on facebook so hopefully they get caught and decided to share it here too. I hope the police find them! I hope they get locked up forever. And I especially hope the little boy will be okay...

I can never understand why any mother would do that to their child either. Or anyone for that fact it could have been the guy too. That is so sad that this was done to the little boy. I hope they find the two people that did this and start asking questions and get to the bottom of it. And whoever did it to the little boy I hope they get punished for what they have done.

Yeah it is the worst thing ever! I hope they find the couple so they can be locked up and never be able to hurt another child again.

I haven't a clue at all how there are people that are such monsters that they are able to hurt their children in this way. I know that I would never be able to hurt my children (or any other child in the world for that matter)like this. I believe that children are a gift from God and they should be cherished in every way.
I hope that they are able to find these people and that they will be punished to the highest extent of the law for what they did to the child. In addition to this, I also hope that this child is able to be placed with a family that will treat him as I believe a child should be treated.

I don't understand that type of thing either. That poor child! =( I could never hurt any child either. That is the most horrible thing ever. I agree, children are Blessings.
I hope they find them soon so they can get what they deserve! I really hope he recovers and goes to a home with loving people...

I'm 29 years old, and I don;t have children. This type of thing really upsets me, and I wish it was mandatory for people to take parenting classes before they even have kids! (I think it should be law world wide)
There are a heck of a lot of bad people out there that are able to have kids, and so many good people out there that aren't able to have kids. (I'm one of those good ppl that has infertility) Makes me wonder why God grants such a blessed bundle to those that don;t deserve it, and never allows those who DO deserve kids never to have them.. Don't get me wrong, but there are still a lot of good ppl out there that do have kids, but the bad really need to be sterilized....

This woman is not a mother! She just birthed a baby. A true mother does her best to protect her child. Granted , some don't know how to discipline without hitting but they can learn. But this wasn't just a bad discipline session, this was straight out abuse.Now a baby is scared for life. So sad.

Your right, she is nothing like a mother! She is an abuser... Nothing more, nothing less. I hope the police find this couple and let them rot behind bars forever so they can never hurt another child ever!

This is very sad. I don't see how anyone not a mother a father or any person in life could ever hurt a child. This is just wrong. I hope they find the couple put them in jail and throw away the key for life. I hope that boy gets better and gets to be with people that love him and will take care of him. The people that did this to him are nothing but trash.

I don't understand it either but especially a mother, you had that baby in you for nine months and took care of him... Ugh, I just don't get it. I could NEVER hurt my babies like that ever!!
They are most definitely trash. What I don't understand is, where was child protective services??? They harass innocent parents but do nothing to REAL abusers! I don't get it...

I hear to many of these stories! I wish people who are not ready to have kids would't! If they do at least have the common sense to give the child up for adoption,if they don't want th child! People like this do it for lots of reasons. From taking their frustration out on th child to doing because they were abused growing up! Whatever the reason it is wrong and people need to pay for this! I hope this child is never given back to the mother!

I know, me too. People that don't want kids should not have them. I don't know why they would rather have children and then treat them this way! How awful. =( I hope they find this couple so they can rot in jail and never hurt another child like this ever again!!

Dear LovingMyBabies
Knowing that you are a loving mother yourself, I do understand how ugly feelings this news would have brought for you.
The parents in this discussion (ms. jessica and mr. roland) seem to be an extended version of parents who are bad. maybe they had some other intentions, but whatever, these motives are ugly and should not have happened. i even read a few months back, that a mom killed her baby only because she was too addicted to FB and the baby kept crying as it was neglected. such incidents are becoming more common these days because of many reasons - mostly psychological and then financial(I mention financial because in Indian scenario, where there is lot of poor people, we do read about poor farmers who kill their complete family and themselves too just because they were unable to repay their loans or even unable to feed or take proper care of their families).
And also, on the link, Mr. Roland is NoT the biological father of the baby. So that might add to some more complications for their reasonings.

It does make me VERY angry! I am so upset by this... I cannot even imagine what that little boy has gone through, the saddest thing ever. It makes me so mad, before I had my children I had 2 miscarriages so I thought I would never have kids. It broke my heart, so to see mothers like this that have this Blessing and do things like this to their child kills me!
They are very bad indeed. I am not surprised by the mother that was too addicted to facebook to care for her child. I have seen a few mothers like that myself and it annoys the crap out of me! Facebook OR their phone!!
He is not the real father and I am sure that probably had something to do with it also, I agree.
I just hope they find these people and lock them up forever!

That's so tragic. My heart breaks whenever i read, hear or see something on the news about child being abused by their own parents. I really can't understand how they could be too mad to hurt their very own flesh and blood.

Very sad incident... I wish i could help, We have to respect others if we do not respect others then others will also do the same with us. But i do not understand how mother did with his child?? That is so irritating me, And i think mother can not do such time of things with their children. I love my mother and i believe that my mother can not do such things with us. And i pray that God never give such type of mother to any one.

I could never do this to a child. As I read that I felt for the child. I was a victim of child abuse for years until I finally got out. I am hoping this child is forever away from the two of them because it is not a safe environment and he needs to be in a better place. My prayers are going to him.

I don't understand it either! I agree with you, they should have to suffer what he suffered! My thing is, the mother was KNOWN for abuse where in the world was Child Protective Services?!?

hi LovingMyBabies I have a hunch the mom was abu sed too as she looked so scared and i wonder why she would have a boyfriend who would abuse her ahd her child.how could she hurt her o wn son . He is so cute and so defenseless. I hope they are caught and brought to justice.
no mom should ever hurt her own child ajnd what kind of a woman would love a man who helped her hurt her own child. these people ar mentally ill. yuck how horridl

I have not yet heard whether they have been caught yet or not...I hope so though. That poor little boy!
I don't know, everyone on FB that actually knew the couple where I originally found the story said she was the abusive one so I don't know. It shocked me when I read that she was the abusive one to her boyfriend and the child! Obviously I don't know them personally so I cannot say that for sure, but it was surprising...
I feel so sorry for that poor little boy.

The picture of the mother looks so much like my mother at that age, the blue eyes, skinny body and brown hair. It is creepy. They are sickos. I wouldn't doubt it if most of the abuse was all the mother's doing, but just on the grounds she resembles another abusive person.

I dont understand parents who can hurt their child in anyway. If the mother had past abuse issues people should have been closely watching the family to make sure things like this wouldnt have happened. I feel so bad for that child. He is in my thoughts and prayers. Hopefully he will be better soon and will not be returned to his mother!!!

I don't either, this story made me sick to my stomach! I cannot understand such a behavior like this... I agree. Someone should have taken that child away in the first place if they knew she was abusive!!!
I hope he does get better soon...
