Police: Father Tortured Family Before Killing Teenage Son

What a bastard. Wife should have given him the southern treatment by pouring hot grits all over his ass. I’ve seen many men brought to their knees this way.

This guy leaves me cold. The father apparently didn’t supply anything to the family except torment and then finally murder. The children having to beg food? Screaming from the house? Didn’t anyone think that CPS would be a good idea?

Gotta say some investigation is better than none. There are also the police who can arrest a father for domestic disturbances and abuses.

This is no be than neighbors sitting back and accepting what was happening until it is too late. Kind of like being a witness to a murder in slow motion and doing nothing until the living are dead. And then they cry (shit heads).

I can agree with that, JohnQ. I couldn’t just sit idly by and let these children be abused. I’ve have done something even if it was wrong. Frankly, I think assholes like him just need to have the hell beat out of them because violence is all they friggin understand. Which is why the courts and CPS are pretty much useless with people like him. We have a screwed up system for handling violent individuals and even though it consistently fails us, we keep using it.

I just read a story this morning about a 4 year old Brooklyn, NY girl whose mother starved her and the social worker who was supposed to be checking on the girl was arrested for not doing his job. Finally! These so called social workers might have to bear some responsibility for being negligent. The shitbag even tried to get into the system and date it so that it looked like he’d bee to the girls home. And sadly, too many CPS workers are slackers like this one.

I hear what you are saying. My guess is that most social workers do their job the best they can with the resources they are given. In any occupation there are the incompetent, the lazy, and the fraudulent.

This family had to be getting food stamps or should have been. No child (or adult) should be begging for food in this country, but don’t get me started on that one or I might start advocating imprisonment of the extremely rich.

JohnQ, I like to believe that most everyone does the best that they can. But when you weigh violence [especially domestic violence] against our penal system and our CPS system, we just suck. If we didn’t, there would not be so many tragic stories as this. They are all too common. Because nobody gives a f*ck anymore and the few that do can’t do anything because, as you pointed out, their resources are limited. So, what good is CPS??

They prob were getting assistance but so what?? We don’t require these individuals to be law abiding citizens. They just have to show that they are broke and have kids. So many of these types sell their food stamps and/or give their card to someone for cash. Everytime we come up with what we believe is a better way to control the abuse of this crap, the degenerate f*ckheads figure out a way around it. A way to get their alcohol or drugs in exchange for their food stamps. They don’t give a royal damn about their kids, save for the fact that they need the kids to get the loot.

Do you mean “anecdotal?” “Antidotal” would mean that it will counteract poison. Now, “anecdotal” means that the entire story is based on hearsay or casual observation, so I’m not sure that works, either. Maybe “par for the course” or “typical” would better reflect your intent? I honestly am not trying to be a GrammarFuhrer, I just found that confusing. I will now go sit in the corner for being a nitpicky ass.

I couldn’t agree more with you about the neighbors, though. They remember that the kids were begging for food, but waited until the shrieking and dying before doing anything about it? I hope they hear that poor boy begging in their sleep. “The indifference of good men” and all that.

Absolutely. John List’s kids were know to beg for food at the neighbors before he annihilated his family. The level of financial stress this would indicate, or the level of parental indifference and depravity it could indicate, is pretty extreme. This clearly should have set off alarms.

I hope the sick fuck dies.

BTW MORBID, It’s written: RODRIGUEZ with a G, it’s ALSO written erratically.

Lest it prematurely trigger the Rapture, the word has been corrected.

lol MAYBE you need to CHECK the way it IS being SPELLED in the articles I linked TO before jumping on ME about my SPELLING. I WOULD also suggest you spend YOUR time more wisely as IF you are going to spend it CORRECTING my grammar, you WILL be VERY, very BUSY, a fact LIZARD can surely back ME up on.

Jeez, a latin man who drinks, gets abusive AND violent…..I’m appalled!
