Another sickening case of abuse, this time in the local news in California:
[E]vidence suggests the girl who died was being disciplined “for hours” last Friday in the parent’s bedroom for mispronouncing a word during a home-school reading lesson.
When police searched the family’s Crestwood Drive residence, they took a photograph of a 15-inch length of tubing lying on the parents’ bed next to a children’s book about a frog and a toad, which Ramsey said the deceased youngster had been reading from.
“a 15-inch length of tubing lying on the parents’ bed next to a children’s book about a frog and a toad.” Time for some soul-searching.

No “true” follower of Christ would inflict such horrible treatment and injury on precious children. The Bible states, “it is better a milestone be tied around your neck and you be tossed into the sea than offend one of these little ones”. Christ never hurt any children ,He favored them and this is just another sad attempt by the media and others to use fundamentalist Christian faith as a motivating factor for what appears to be actually a couple of mentally ill individuals free to produce havoc in normal society.
