Police say Orlando waitress saved boy from abuse with note asking if he needed help

Sometimes the situation is that only one child among children are picked on to be abused. Makes it even sicker.
 

I hope there is some relative or maybe the family of one of the boy's friends will take him in and raise him as their own. There is always the nightmarish thought that some idiot judge will return him to his biological mother, if she isn't sent to prison.
 
I saw this news on TV. If that waitress had ignored his injuries, he would be dead. The police reported that the couple’s intention was to kill the boy. Although she doesn’t think so or doesn’t wish to accept the moniker, she is an “American Hero.”

Absolute scum, that's what the couple is, and I hope they get their dues when they're locked up in a jail cell.

They both were charged with numerous illegal acts. They definitely don’t need to be making any vacation plans for the next several years.

Welcome news!

The part that eats at me is wondering about how many other innocent and helpless little ones are being abused by monsters in this world.

This is always a worry. While I was still on duty, we would get BOLO’s (be on the lookout) from other law enforcement agencies for people who had beaten, (or worse), a child.

I hope you nabbed many.

Myself, I'm really affected by stuff like this, not that everyone isn't, but it really burns deep into my guts and makes me sick.

I just don't know how stuff like this goes on, one would think neighbours and family would be aware of the goings-on surrounding such cases.
 
I think that anyone who mistreats a child should be
prevented from making any more, medically!

As for the male, "who in not a man", in my eyes, my
answer to his attitude would be castration, they should
do that to all child abusers.

The part that bothers me most, is wondering about family and friends of the couple, where are they? And then there's neighbours of the couple, surely someone heard something at some point in time, or observed something related to how the child was being treated.

I just find it incredibly hard to believe that someone... anyone, would be blind to what was going on, even if they didn't know about what was taking place in the home behind closed doors.

It's apparent that the couple took the boy out of the house and to restaurants, and I just cannot believe regular, normal, everyday folks didn't tune into the situation.

There isn't a stiff enough punishment that exists in my world for monsters like this. They really should be removed from the face of the planet.
 
I read stories like this way too often. I don't see how people could do the horrendous things they do to children, worse when it's their own children. That this mother enabled her husband to mistreat her child is sickening! She needs her a*s kicked up and down main street. I hope they are punished to the fullest extent of the law. I also pray that those little children are placed in good foster homes; that boy certainly doesn't need to suffer any more abuse. May the waitress who's quick thinking helped those children reap the blessings for her kind, courageous deed.

The sad part about all of this, OneEyed, that little boy, no matter how great his upbringing is now, will be scarred for life.

Absolutely Marg. But by the grace of God, maybe he'll grow up to be able to move beyond it and fill his life with satisfying accomplishments and love. Tyler Perry was abused physically and mentally by his real father. Ironically his father told him he'd never amount to anything. Now he's a media mogul billionaire who has forgiven his father and even helped him. To do so was part of his healing process. Tyler Perry also built a massive studio complex on which he is also building homes and a community center for people in unfortunate circumstances. I've heard other stories of healing by those who suffered terrible home circumstances.

I'll be hoping and praying for the little boy, OneEyed.

I don't know where some people find the strength to forgive. I wouldn't be able to forgive.

I guess it boils down to how we are born by nature, some have it in them to forgive, while others like myself don't.

Child abuse is a daily event, I hate to say. One thing that is pretty much consistent with law enforcement officers is that we don't care much for this type of person and neither do the cons in prisons. I have seen guys in prisons that were sent there for child abuse or worse and some of them look like they are death's doorsteps. Cons beat the hell out of some of these low-life types.

When punishing a child with a belt, stick or other weapon became an issue here in the U.S., many people weren't aware that they could no longer beat their child and actually were arrested for abuse. I'm not saying that a parent cannot spank his child because they legally are allowed to do just that, however, it has to be reasonable and not draw blood or leave welts, bruises, swelling, etc. And, most of all, parents should not be using a weapon.

I remember reading in the newspaper a few times where a child called 9-1-1 to report their parent for beating them. Each of these calls get investigated and if a parent did or does cross the line, the police will charge them. Contrary to public opinion, children do have some rights. One such case was a call one of our Troopers took that a young boy made a call to the state police asking for help, but he was really scared because his dad said that if he called the cops and they came to the house that he would beat his mom after the cops left.

Makes you think, doesn't it? Like, how many other fathers have done or are doing the same thing?

I'm hoping and praying that's the medicine that awaits these two (8 days a week) once they're locked up.

As for your words on parents handing down punishment with an instrument, I have always frowned upon such, too, and that's coming from an old-fashioned mom, one who raised 6 little ones of her own, and administered many-a spanking in her day.

I'm glad there's more awareness today, probably more so than ever before, and as Martha Stewart would say... "that's a good thing".

And yes, it sure does make one think.
