WHAT were THESE parents thinking?

But why did he die, though??? I don't understand what he died FROM?

Regardless that's horrible of parents to tie their son to a tree as punishment, but he wasn't tied up for like days in a row to have starved? I'm just really curious as to what his cause of death will be.

OMG!! Wow, I hate people sometimes. Why would anyone do this to such an innocent child? I'm glad these 'parents' are being punished, they deserve it. I pray for their two other children.

Probably death from exposure. Being out in the elements without the proper gear can kill a person, especially a child. It's possible he dehydrated in the heat.

I don't know any more. I just do not know.

Seems we just close the door on one episode of child abuse and up pops another case.
I would be curious as to what caused the boy to die. Could he have been tied so tightly that the circulation was stopped or as mentionned, maybe the elements.
I am praying that the other two children will be put in foster homes where they can get the proper care and love they deserve. To be exposed to this kind of brutality will only lead to the children learning to act the same way.
So unbelievably sad, yet somewhere , at the time we read this, another child is being abused.

shepgirl...there's a typo here, but I think we know what they ment:

Two couple' two other children, a seven-year-old and a nine-year-old, have been placed in the custody of the Department of Social Services.

How can they do this?
Its impossible...I coudnt tie anything to a tree for a night...and they did this to their child...did they not think?
