Put your self in the position of the horse, who is dying a slow painful death from starvation, and then say that it’s more important to make sure the human has clean living conditions. Honestly, you people who rant on about the importance of “God’s Children” make me sick; God made that horse and all those other animals as surely as He made that human and anyone who inflicts pain and suffering upon ANY of His creations is surely bound to pay for it in the end.

I have no idea of how long this teen had lived like this, but if he was raised like this he probably didn’t think much about it. I have seen children who lived in dirty homes and they seem to think that was the way it was suppose to be. Some people grow up and do better and some never change. It is ashame that some people never try to help themselves. I feel bad for the teen reguardless.
Anyone who would starve an animal and not give them water as hot as it has been needs to be punished for that also.

I turned these people in the first time and i thought sure they could never have animals again but months later they had dogs,cats and most of them lay on the road dead cause they have no fence.Then months after that they have a donkey,horse,goats.I THINK THEY LOVE TO BE CRUEL TO ANIMALS THEY NEED MORE THAN A SLAP ON THE HAND. THE CHILD SLOULD BE TAKEN AWAY .AFTER ALL THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE A FRONT DOOR IN THE WINTER.

“Bratt Woman”
Since when can a teenager support him or her self? Go get food, Clothing, health products, Health aide, pay electric, water etc.. bills. You get it don’t you? Maybe your child or family “HELPS” your teens out. But without transportation, decient clothes, a little education etc… HOW on earth can a TEEN/CHILD make it on their own??? HOW.. Walk to what, walk to where?

Now I don’t know of any animal on earth, on earth that compares with the value of GOD’s children. Teen or not teen. Why is your compassion for an animal first?
You state it as if you had happen upon this situation you would have and still would run to the animals first.
God, and I mean this, Help us. What does GOD say about his little children? A teen is his little child.
Not to make you angry, but maybe just open your eyes and heart. See your value as well as this younger child of GODs.

Bratt woman –
I have to take serious exception to your comments This was a TEEN, not an infant. This young person could walk out the door, call a friend, go to a relative, or something.!! Therefore the conditions in which they were living ,is in some part BY CHOICE

Teen can be 13-17 (leaving out older because they are considered “adults) – if this young man grew up in this squalor, why would he know different? Why would he care? No… he doesn’t have a choice. That is like saying a teen has a “choice” when their parents abuse them physically / sexually – why do you think there are not more incidents reported? because you “don’t rat on family”, “what happens in this house stays in this house”

I understand your anger and frustration (and heartache) at the treatment of the animals, I feel the same – but I refuse to blame a child for their parents idiocy.

Both the animal cruelty and the alleged child abuse and the animal cruelty were headlined. Both were reported. But I wanted to answer why there is more on the animal cruelty than the child — simply because there was more to report. Child neglect investigations are not as open and ‘public record’ as animal cruelty.

Reporting the animal cruelty and the living environment in great detail perhaps provides information that would help one understand any alleged child neglect.

Plus — we would never publish photos of a minor victim of a crime.

I am convinced that the people who are trying to “down” the paper for headlining the animal cruelty instead of “child abuse”, are not compassionate AT ALL for any animal……….. This was a TEEN, not an infant. This young person could walk out the door, call a friend, go to a relative, or something.!! Therefore the conditions in which they were living ,is in some part BY CHOICE. The animals don`t have a CHOICE!! They are at the mercy of the people..!!! It seems to me that too many people are sweating over “helping” other people, even though alot of these people will not “HELP” themselves. In reality, it is the poor, defenseless animals that are overlooked,abandoned, abused, or starved!! More people need to be concerned about helping those who can NOT help themselves..!!!

Cowgirl,

If the never becomes a pet owner, the whole point is that this is a child that was underage that was living in filth. Yes i think that it is shameful that anyone would let animals be treated in this way but, the most important person in this story is the child. Would anyone want their children to be in this situation? i would think not.
