I used the BBC coverage because I thought it most complete.

I am curious if any of you Dad's out there have the same reaction. I remember when I used to see something like this or hear of abuse or injury to a child on the news prior to having children. Before I would just think, how terrible, and go on with my life.

I now have a 5 year old daughter that I adore. Nowadays these types of things make my blood boil. I'd like to have people cained and worse for such things.

I was just curious if any of you other Dads had a similar transition in reaction to such news after having children.

You hit a nerve here, rogwar. A lot of times I'm sorry I've read these stories because of the way they make me feel.

The recent one about the Russian family who kept their little girl in a dog cage inside a shed away from the main house. The little girl was 6 yrs old. She couldn't talk and was unable to stand up straight.

... lying naked in a baby bath tub in the mother's bedroom covered in dirt and dried ketchup, draped in a towel, watching cartoons on the television.

That would pretty much describe how my wife finds me after she gets home from her 3-hour night classes.

Why didn't the mother tell the police about her daughter? Unbelievable.

Well at the very least they should tie her tubes so she cant have any more babies to abuse.

as a parent, this story is sickening. THat woman is going to jail for this, she would do several years for it in my state. I cant believe what that poor kid went through, and am amazed at her ability to survive.
I dont believe in the death penalty but this woman I would gladly send to the gas chamber, although that would really be too good for her
she definately will never get custody again, she will be lucky to get supervised visitation

Shoot her.

Unbelievable!

How anyone could do that to a child just astounds me. Drawing and quartering sounds too lenient for that POS "mother".

It's realy thanks to her dad for finding her, he insisted to search the apartment, and they did..

I live in Jax,FL, and just because this made world headlines, dosn't mean were that bad of a state.

Just think of the Officer who walked in on this....

She's a terrible mother; no doubt.

But, don't the cops usually check into this kind of thing after making an arrest?
