"Kennedy said Allen "did not want me to call an ambulance," but he did anyway."
And kudos to this guy, he has certainly saved these children. I just hope the foster family(ies) they've been placed with don't prove just as bad as the original home.
And, gotta ask it, what is wrong with the mother? She couldn't see her children were getting beaten up? And, oh yeah btw, where is (are) the father(s)?
Just asking!
Really? The judge had better live up to that statement and put this scum behind bars for a very long time.
Why is it that these types of people so easily reproduce and some really worthwhile people who long for children cannot have any ..?? It's a mystery I have no answer for.
Excellent direction and compassion from the courtroom judge. May her promise of safety be upheld for the boy and his siblings.
Should the judge really be hugging witnesses? I'm not suggesting it was an unfair trial or anything like that, but shouldn't her honor have known better?
This also annoyed me:
"Don't be afraid of him," Waggoner said. "He's not going to hurt you anymore."
This sort of courtroom drama seems unfair to the accused. If the accused is in fact innocent, there's no way to respond to that.
Saying something more neutral, like "you're safe in here" or "we can protect you" would be fair.
Brave yes, but will the State, in fact, protect him! A damn court ordered injunction will not do the trick!
Swell.. so *thats" how the Judge will protect the kids?!?!?!
Hey "Judge", how about revoking bond and throwing the key away!!
These children need prayers.
I hope that the foster care system is better than the hell that they have just gone through.
