  1. Rest Peacefully Thomas! The monster will pay!

  2. “cameras inside their house” “autistic son beaten and starved” police are always such awesome people. definitely not the most sick, pathetic control freaks in our society.

  3. I recommend he be sentenced to have a plunger 🪠 stuck up his bumbum

  4. Typical police i Hurd the police are backing the cop up blaming the death on the kid

  5. That was first degree murder. Not second!

  6. you think they would have patience regarding their kids with autism

  7. What a horrible story I wouldn't give them blankets in prison So they are reminded of what they've done . I just can't imagine them warm in their beds while their Children were freezing to death

  8. Both of these monsters (they arent parents) are totally the worst type horrible people. People talk about the monster Nick Cruz and how he is subhuman. What he did was terrible and unexusable. But with him it was a one time act at least. A fit of passion. Again not lessoning what Nick Cruz did. But these two..these completely cruel and inhumane evil people..they went on and on. Starving the children, urine soaked clothes to school, freezing cold torture and on and on. Calling the children pieces of sh*t and that they should be made to eat their own feces.

    I hope these child abusers, these monsters of torture are attacked by inmates and thrown into a tank of icewater daily and I hope some inmate takes a sh*t and force feeds them both.

    You dont abuse children like this. It is the worst form of evil.

    While I one day will pray for their salvation, I cannot right now. They should be lucky I am not in charge of their daily fates.

    The man is a completr liar and coward. Saying "Oh I didnt think he would die, so please let me off with a lesser charge" No remorse. No guilt. No nothing in that.

    Hey at leat Nick Cruz admitted he was wrong and deserved to die. These two dished out cruelty apparently for years and years to helpless children.

    Trash. Complete trash.

    I hope the brother will one day recover mentally and emotionally from this nightmare he lived.

    God rest the soul of the other child. Rest in Christs arms🌹..

  9. Man is evolving in a horrible way.Mankind will be judged by God soon.God is a God of love and wrath.Fear God he sees everything!

  10. Once again the government will never come through for you untill someone one dies

  11. Some people shouldn't have kids. He's a cop. He should know about hypothermia. 45 degrees is cold enough to get hypothermia. you don't need 19 or even 32. If he didn't want the responsibility or the hassle, he should have given them to the mother then he and his fiance could have played happy family. I wonder if the mom was paying child support as noncustodial parent and if he and the fiance were getting SS check for the kids' diagnosis of autism.

  12. As a mother of a 6 year old son with autism, I always fear for his safety. This case touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes. His mother wanted her boys and tried to prove his abuse and that poor angel suffered by the hands of his abusive well connected father.. the step mother needs to be held responsible too ! She allowed it… god please keep this angel safe in your heavenly arms. Amen 🙏🏻

  13. Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy☺️I have been earning $60,200 returns from my $10,000 investment every 13 days

  14. Can’t even protect and serve your own children. Who’s surprised?

  15. Yet another cop went bad.

  16. What a sick world… some thing's never change…

  17. Would be a shame if they forced him to sleep outside during the winter.
