Agree. That page is wonderful. This other one has me so pissed off the top of my head is about to blow off. To merely say that his "mother murdered him" so diminishes what Ethan went through--and what his fucking cumbucket of a "mother" allowed and perpetrated herself--makes me start looking for weapons and planning road trips.
Can I come too,Lizard?:argh:
Bring liquor and ammunition. I'll PM you the pick-up time.
,Vania Parry-Schmidt Please read The Probable Cause Affidavits. They did confess! She played more of the blame game but did state that she knew what had happened
Someone responded to mine LOL

http://www.sltrib.com/ci_15083168?source=pkgWhen "Ghost," one of Nathan Sloop's multiple personalities, took over, he flew into frightening rages and took offense at "any perceived slight or criticism," according to a protective order filed by his former wife.
Jennifer Freeman, of Orlando, Fla., didn't want to leave their 5-year-old daughter alone with him.
"He is too unstable and might hurt [their daughter] to get back at me,"she wrote in a petition for a protective order filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida and obtained by The Salt Lake Tribune . About a month after the judge finalized a protective order against him, Sloop's new fiance, Stephanie, brought her 4-year-old son Ethan to live with them in Utah for the summer.
. . .
They are not allowed near other inmates and are being held alone in cells 23 hours a day, allowed out only to shower and exercise, jail officers said.
Carla Jones, a former friend of Stephanie Sloop from when she lived in Florida, said that last week she received "a few" messages from Stephanie Sloop, but she did not return them because she "was sick of the drama."
"You carry a lot of guilt around when someone calls you hysterical and you don't call them back, but she had cried wolf one too many times," Jones said. "Had I ever known they would have done this to Ethan, I would have intervened."
According to divorce papers, Sloop was abusive in his first marriage. He and Freeman married in 1999 in Florida, when he was 20 and she was 19. The couple moved to Utah and bought a house in Roy. When she got pregnant in 2004, he insisted she stay at home with the child.
He exerted an "unreasonable" and "unhealthy level of control" over her, Freeman claimed in divorce papers. He hit and slapped her, pulled her hair and pushed her into walls, Freeman said. She left him in October 2007 and took their daughter to her parents' home in Florida, according to court papers.
. . .
In court filings, Nathan Sloop denied abusing her and denied being diagnosed with a mental illness other than obsessive compulsive disorder. No domestic violence charges were filed against him in Utah.
In the settlement, the couple shared custody, with the girl designated to spend summers and half of holidays with her father and live the rest of the year with her mother in Florida.
About a year after the divorce was finalized, Freeman filed for a protective order, quoting from a 1½-hour stream of threatening voice mails Sloop had left on Sept. 2 for both Freeman and her boyfriend.
"I don't give a f--- if I gotta spend the rest of my life in f------ prison, f--- you, I'm coming for your f------ throat," he told her, according to the filing.
"I believe he has the ability to carry out these threats," she wrote.
. . .
Carla Jones said she befriended Stephanie Sloop five years ago when she came to the Florida doctor's office where Jones worked. Jones watched Ethan while his mother had her appointments.
She said their families would have dinner at each other's homes and hang out a lot. When Stephanie left, Carla and her family did their best to be supportive and kept doing activities with Ethan and Joe Stacy before they moved to Virginia.
"We were friends until Stephanie went off the deep end and abandoned Joe and Ethan," Jones said. "It was always all about Stephanie."
"Even though I lost the babies we planned to have, it saved my life," she wrote. "You can always have more children, but Nathan couldn't replace me."
4-Year-Old Murder Arrests - Latest News

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A divorce judge who approved a settlement that sent a 4-year-old boy to Utah where he was killed days after arriving says the case was routine and uncontested. Judge Maura T. Smith of the Orlando, Fla., court told The Associated Press Thursday that the boy's father, Joe Stacy, should
not blame himself for agreeing to share custody of his son. Police dug up Ethan Stacy's badly beaten and disfigured body from a Utah canyon Tuesday, about 10 days after he arrived in Utah for a summer visit with his mother, Stephanie Sloop.
Joe Stacy wrote in a November pleading that Stephanie Sloop was unstable and had abandoned the boy, but Smith says she didn't read that statement because she simply approved the final divorce and custody agreement. Ethan Stacy's mother and stepfather have been arrested in his death.
Judge Maura T. Smith of the Orlando, Fla., court told The Associated Press Thursday that the boy's father, Joe Stacy, should not blame himself for agreeing to share custody of his son.
In court filings, Nathan Sloop denied abusing her and denied being diagnosed with a mental illness other than obsessive compulsive disorder.
He denied it and it was accepted by the court, so fuck him and his 'multiple personality' bullcrap claim. I've known people with OCD, and not one of them had the obsession or compulsion to beat a child over and over and over!
NO MENTAL ILLNESS, JUST PLAIN FUCKING EVIL BEYOND BELIEF.
Ethan Stacy's story has hurt me deeply, he has the same name as my son. That poor little guy, beaten and burned, shit forced into his mouth, locked in his room alone and in agony while his evil 'mother' went and married his evil, sadistic tormentor. And, finally, killed.
Then just to add degrading insult to the unimaginable injury, that bastard taked a hammer and demolishes his precious face. So his dad and his loving family wont even be able to see him as he was, beautiful and perfect, to say a proper goodbye to him.
They said in their sickening wedding blurb that they were 'soul mates'.
Indeed they were.
Oh, and Lizard? Give me a shout when you are setting off. I will bring things to inflict severe pain, and share the driving.

FARMINGTON — Prosecutors said Friday they don't have enough evidence to file formal charges against the parents of 4-year-old Ethan Stacy.
But they do intend to seek charges of aggravated murder for both the slain boy's mother and stepfather.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings said despite the public outcry over the gruesome death of the young Layton boy, prosecutors need to gather more evidence in order to obtain an eventual conviction.
[...]
One piece of evidence prosecutors are waiting for is a determination of the cause of the boy's death. The Utah Medical Examiner's Office says it needs at least two more weeks to finish the autopsy and perhaps longer, he said.
"We believe there's probable cause that both suspects in this case — Nathan and Stephanie Sloop — committed the crime of aggravated murder in connection with the death of Ethan Stacy," Rawlings said, adding that penalties for such a charge could mean the death penalty or at least life in prison.
Despite the lack of charges, both Sloops will remain in jail with no bail while the investigation continues.
[...]
Ethan's biological father, Joe Stacy, whom he described as a "devastated man" since the boy's death. After informing the father that formal charges would not yet be filed, Rawlings said he was supportive of the decision and told him, My interest is you get it right and do it right."
Judge Maura T. Smith of the Orlando, Fla., court told The Associated Press Thursday that the boy's father, Joe Stacy, should not blame himself for agreeing to share custody of his son.
A fund to help pay for the funeral expenses of Ethan Stacy has been set up at a Virginia bank.
The 4-year-old was found buried in a shallow grave near Powder Mountain Ski Resort on Tuesday. His step-father, Nathan Sloop, was arrested on suspicion of aggravated homicide and child abuse and his mother, Stephanie Sloop, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse and trying to cover for her husband.
When the Medical Examiner s Office has completed its autopsy, Ethan Stacy's body will be flown back to Virginia for his funeral.
Donations can be mailed to:
True Point Bank
P.O. Box 1010
Grundy, VA 24614
It should be directed to Gary Stacy-Joe Stacy Memorial Fund #4 Ethan Stacy. The account number is 0387940. Online donations cannot be accepted, but checks or money orders may be mailed to the bank.
The couple arrested for the murder of 4-year-old Ethan Stacy appeared in court Friday afternoon, where the boy's stepfather had a special request for the judge.
Nathan Sloop tearfully asked 2nd District Court Judge David Connors if he could visit with his mother, Pamela Sloop Taylor, in jail. It was the only time he or Ethan's mother, Stephanie Sloop, showed any emotion.
Connors replied the visits would be allowed, but granted a request from defense attorneys to bar journalists from interviewing the Sloops in the Davis County Jail.

In Utah, aggravated murder charges can carry three different penalties: the death penalty, life in prison without parole, or 20 years to life in prison with the option of parole. Prosecutors now have 60 days to decide which option to pursue.
Those photos are wonderful. It's so good to see that Ethan had a good life with his father and friends, not an awful life from start to finish. In a couple of the photos on the Fox 13 site, you could see him next to Dad, and he was so small. How could anyone feel anything other than a big bully hitting and beating on this precious little boy?!
I'm still waiting to hear when the egg doner will face her murder charges.
