You clearly know nothing about this family. Have you spoken with the kids? Do you even KNOW the kids?
The mom took the child to get xrays as soon as the injury was revealed by the child. Why? Ya think maybe he was AFRAID? Hmmm.
Have you SEEN the x-rays?
How do your investigating skills stack up against those of an unbiased reporter simply relaying what the authorities have said?
How does anyone know that the offender himself wouldn't pose as a commenter?
Or his family?
You clearly feel you have intimate information and yet don't know this child at all.
I think I'll look at the facts.
As far as "if" he is guilty, one can't invent a fracture.

First off I would like to know what happened to "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" and why MY comment was removed. Secondly 'Friend' I DO know the family and the child in question. I am not taking the side of the father, I am just telling you that there is more to the story!

Connie- firstly, just above where you type in your comments, there is a disclaimer regarding what is appropriate in this forum. I am glad to see they removed your allegations of abuse by the mother and grandmother. It's a biased opinion with no basis in fact.
Secondly, I don't know what you could mean by "more to the story"... do you honestly believe there is any "side of the story" that could legitimize the abuse of a child? This is the CAUSE of the "bad divorce", and NOT the result. Someone has it backward. I hope, for the family's sake, you're looking at this from the perspective of truth, and not listening to the "other side of the story" with a mind so open everything falls out.
You claim to not be taking sides. Well I am, and it's AGAINST the person headed to trial.

This is a bad divorce that is being played out by a small time reporter.
Someone needs to ask the mother why she didn't take her kid to the doctors until 8 days !!! yes 8 days later! if he allegedly broke his arm?
And why is it documented at this kids school that he fell and broke the same arm?
