Boy's suffocation death another chilling abuse case

Suffocation death of 6-year-old boy: This is another appalling story of child abuse! The suspect, James Dearman, and his girlfriend, Ashley Cole, could hear pleading screams from the boy that he could not breath while they continued to play video games is bone chilling.

That precious boy of 6 years old had a right to live and grow up. Both the man and his girlfriend are responsible for the boy’s death.

While the Dearman was leaning against the boy and him screaming that he could not breath, what was the girlfriend doing? Playing video games, according to news reports. You got to be kidding!

She knew what her boyfriend was doing was not right. So why did she not get up and call 911 to stop such horrendous behavior? Don’t women have any backbones anymore?

Is having a boyfriend all that important, especially if he is abusing his children?

I am sick of reading about these parents that abuse their gifts from God. Now that makes five children that died of abuse locally in 2015.

I came from Philadelphia and I am sure they don’t have that many abused children deaths. This area really needs to crack down on child abusers and witnesses to the abuse. What a way for a 6-year-old boy to have spent Christmas Eve!
