Today , I read that a six year old boy was handcuffed and his mother , partner and uncle set their dog on him as a punishment for not clearing up after the dog .
He's receiving treatment in hospital and hopefully will make a full recovery .
Perhaps physically without scars , but mentally from abuse like that ?
I wonder what else they did .
They have been arrested .
The mother is claiming that she didn't know that it's illegal to handcuff a child .
And I'm wondering what else she's claiming .
That she didn't know that it's illegal to set your dog on a child ?

Well, when they go to jail they can expect a very particular kind of retribution to be handed out to them by other prisoners, even the most hardened crim can’t stand those who abuse children.

i read it in the Daily Mail on line, this morning watermeadow. The DM often has articles about cruelty to children who live in the US or Australia. Are you suggesting it’s baloney therefore untrue?
I only wish it wasn’t true . The capacity to abuse and terrify children that exists in some people is beyond what most if could imagine.

watermeadow -
do you mean that the story is baloney or other prisoners getting revenge is baloney ?

There's no rehabilitation for such sadistic behaviour. I hope the little lad finds a proper kind and loving home, bless his heart. He will need many years of therapy too.

It's so heartbreaking. I'm sure many kids are not this fortunate to have their story heard.

There are some people who should never reproduce.

What are you even on about? That's very rude of you to suggest it's baloney or picked up from the Daily Mail!

It's an extremely traumatic story, but I wonder at your reasons for calling it "baloney" . Is that perhaps, your saying for everything you are ignorant of?
