[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 283240, member: 84"] Star I was severely abused as a child. Sexually, physically, mentally, and emotionally tortured for 18 long years. I am no saint. But I have never abused my children or any child. Abuse is no excuse in my book. He's lucky I'm [B]not[/B] on that jury. With my background, I had an infant who slept less than 3 hours a day and spent the rest screaming at the top of his lungs. I didn't shake him, I didn't raise my voice at him, I sat and cried with him when the sleep deprovation got to be too much. I took him to docs to try to find out what was wrong. I made a [B]conscious[/B] decision not to abuse my kids, not to repeat what was done to me. And moved 2 states away to keep my family distant from my kids. When I felt pushed to the wall, I'd stop and do the opposite of what had been done to me. Why? Because being the victim all those years......I know [B]exactly[/B] the damage it does to a child. Past abuse is no excuse. Ignorance is no excuse. How do you prove ignorance?? My ex sister in law left 6 kids in a burning building. They never proved she set the fire. Her story was that she panicked. Maybe she did. But they still gave her 10 years behind bars. in my opinion she deserved it. She didn't run for help.....she just ran. in my opinion this guy........well, what I'd honestly like to do to him would be much [B]worse[/B] than him getting a simple injection, falling asleep and never waking up again with a chance that some idiot in political office somewhere will decide to do a good deed, or that the prison's are too full and expensive and set him free to do this to another innocent child. As far as I'm concerned, there is no excuse good enough to justify abuse/murder of a child.:angry: Not every case warrants the death penalty. But this one does. Sorry. This one hits a little close to home. [/QUOTE]
