I agree completely with all of you who are outraged and saddened by this crime. And to know that that sweet little child had to depend on that a**hole to get him home, (and probably had to be subjected to him babysitting the child as well) was an utter shame. I also wouldn't hold out much hope that the mother is much better.

In these kinds of situations, they usually aren't, because when you pick this kind of man as a boyfriend/husband/babbydaddy, you probably haven't screened them in the least. This scene plays out all too often, it's just too bad that we only know about this ONE. I can't begin to imagine the many other children who might be experiencing this same kind of treatment. I bet the mother has already bailed him out because he was "sorry" and everything is still the same. I would love to know what her reaction to all of this has been. And if she HASN'T pressed charges, then maybe charges should be pressed against HER. Also included in that, should be all of the women who call the police for domestic violence, and then yell "Please don't hurt him" as the coward is being taken into custody. (this goes for the women who abuse MEN also!)

I think once the police are called for abuse of any kind, that SOMEONE needs to go to jail, PERIOD, for at least 30 days. No trial, no nothing. It might make them think twice the next time they call the police and then change their mind because "it wasn't that serious". If they call the police and don't want you to take the suspected abuser to jail, then take the VICTIM to jail. And if the victim DOES press charges, then take the abuser to jail.

Problem solved.

Hello mrshubbyd & Welcome back! I agree with you 100%; How many of these crimes go unreported or are not turned in when witnessed. I recently saw a story of a man in Alabama that literally tossed all of his children over a bridge into a river, where all of them have disappeared except for one that was recovered. It is sickening & indeed very cowardly but can also lead to similar stories like that one. There must be others that witness or observe actions like that jerk in the store but why they don't step up & turn them in is beyond my comprehension.

Thanks Car! Glad to be here! I've been so busy lately, I don't get here as often as I'd like.

As far as witnessing things like this, I know if I see it, I WILL step up. The only problem with that is, if you try to take action, and the mother/victim doesn't press charges, or try to keep the child safe, then you've put your safety on the line for nothing, because the poor child is back in the same environment.

Also, if it is a child abuse case, the thing that happens most often is, that they make the parents go to a class or two, then the child goes back home because some idiot wants to stamp the paperwork "case closed". They put it under the guise of "The child should be with the natural parents if at all possible" which to me, translates into, "We don't really care whether the child is safe or not, we just want to be able to puff our chests out and say,'Wow, we put a family back together!'"

It's a real shame.

Hey mrshubbyd, sad to say....But you are so right on the mark. The child suffers even more abuse..**sigh**.. By people speaking up......and the Court system not recognizing the problem. I have experienced it first hand. Then the children were moved out of State. To this day I wonder about their future.

Hi Catz2, I am so sorry to hear that, as I too, have experienced something similar. It is almost as bad as having your OWN children harmed because children ARE so precious. Some of these parents today could care less. They are so concerned with the man/woman that they are trying to hang onto, that the child's welfare just goes out the window.

I haven't seen my little "son" since about 2001, and who knows what has happened to him.

When I started 'babysitting' him, (translation=his mom dropped him off for days at a time so she could "hang out" and go out of town) He was alomost 3 yrs old, and was still using a bottle, not potty trained, and was even still using a pacifier! Within 6 months, I had cured all of those things in a patient and loving manner, and we grew to love him so much. He would grunt instead of talk, and had just horrific bad dreams at night,(that took a little more patience and time).

Once we got him all settled, comfortable, and relaxed, then of course his mom would come get him, go back to her a**hole boyfriend, who would abuse her, and do things like make the child fight other children, and curse his mom, until the "next time", then she was "never going to see him again!" Well, we all know how that goes.

After about the 7th or 8th time that she called us for help after another beating, we went and got the baby AND her, and were assured that this was the "last time". Again of course, a few days later, she went back, took the baby, called us and said "Bobby" said 'we can't come back over there any more, because you're trying to turn us against him!" I was stunned. Well, after that, we never saw either of them again, and last we heard, she was in jail, taking a wrap for HIM, and that she had married this idiot, and the baby was trying to emulate his "father". My heart was just sick, and I am still not over it. We loved that little boy, and gave him a safe and loving environment, only for it to be for nothing.

I'm sorry to get so long winded, but it is a situation that affected our whole family very deeply. Maybe someone will read this, see themselves, and maybe a child/ren could be saved.

Let's hope so.
