CONSIDERING:
“B Taylor, don’t judge, or do you not have any children? I’m not taking up for these people, but if anybody has kids, there are some kids that climb & can get into anything before you know it. What about other family members did they not know about it or see the burns?”

My Number Two Son could have gotten onto the roof at that age — in fact, I think he did by lowering himself from the tree. Yes, kids can hurt themselves, whether or not this one did.

When you ask about the other family members, you are either trying to spread out the blame — as if that makes it okay — or judge unknown people who may or may not have known what was going on, rather than simply accept the fact that the response to the injuries was not enough to save his tortured life and that was a conscious decision by people old enough to know better and legally and morally responsible for caring.

The poor kid.

For curious: would you let your child suffer from serious burns for days because you’re afraid someone might not believe you?

Of course this was deliberately done. If not, why would they be scared to take him to seek treatment? It’s obvious!!!

This is horrible. I have a two year old niece n cannot imagine something like this happening. She’s very rambunctious ready at any point in time to get into anything n everything. I understand accidents happening it’s life. What I don’t understand is the neglect for medical treatment this child should have been given. So before someone starts blasting on here about how it was an accident reread the comments n understand it’s not the accident I’m at a lose of words for but rather the neglect. If she had cream for a burnt finger that should have told her that 40% of a two year old’s body would have been excruciating pain. My bet the mother will roll n maybe tell the truth to get

Can a 2 year old reach the level of a stove to pull a pan of hot water off to spill on him. You would think by the time he would reach the pan he would have felt the heat from the flame if it was gas and pulled away or if it was electric the immediate area would have been hot enough to make him turn back. It really sounds and looks like a deliberate act on one if not both of the adults in this case and to deny him the care he needed is another act to indicate guilt because they didn’t know which story to tell. The truth would have hurt but the boy might have lived and I’m sure the other children would have been taken away after the agency checked out the situation and surroundings.Seeking immediate medical attention might would have saved the boys life. She might have self inflicted the burn on her finger so she could get the medication needed for the boy knowing how much pain she was in having to know the boy was in worse pain. I’m sure there is a jail cell for both of them and a much hotter place in their afterlife. Equal punishment is in store here.

This is so horrible for that innocent child. Breaks my heart. They were so afraid they would lose their meal tickets that they let him suffer horrible pain and death. Just disgusted with society these days.

B Taylor, don’t judge, or do you not have any children? I’m not taking up for these people, but if anybody has kids, there are some kids that climb & can get into anything before you know it. What about other family members did they not know about it or see the burns? This is one of my fears for me, is that I have to turn my back & my kid does something to get burned, because somebody might jump to conclusions & not believe me, some people ask well, where was the parents, well, I say you can’t watch them 24/7, you can do your best, but some kids are curious, & even tho you tell a toddler No, they’re gonna do it anyway, & if you pop them then somebody is always ready to call DCF for abuse, get a life, that’s what’s wrong with people these days cause they can’t discipline their kids in fear that they might get turned in, we’ll I’d rather mine be popped or spanked than to end up like this lil fellow or in prison later, I really don’t know the age of this baby, but even people pop the back of a baby’s hand, when they tell them no & the baby grabs again, it could be for a glass or hot coffee.

I feel so saddened by the painful death of this little guy. I have burned my fingers/arms just on hot pans/oven racks when cooking and it hurt like h*ll for days! Cannot even imagine what this baby went through. I have doubts about this being an accident too. May this child R.I.P, and hopefully their other kids are and stay safe. Not sure which article I read it in, but the family had a history with DCF, and with the new “DCF METHODOLOGY” I fear we will see more kids dying. I am a social worker, but not a fan of DCF these days. Sounds like this kid fell through the cracks.
