I don't understand why people post stuff like this on this message board. We ALL know that there are i'll people out there and bad things happen, but why do you need to post it here? What does it accomplish? It just serves to upset people. Posting just to get a rise out of people is lame.
Well its no worse than people creating threads about "I saw an accident today" or "I have a big zit on my nose!" or "My neighbor just got a cute puppy" or "My arm fell off, should I go to the doctor?" blah blah 'My life as it unfolds play-by-play...just thought you'd be interested' or something that goes on 50 million times a day but its big news.

While it is a horrible thing to have happened I would not agree to charging the father with murder and locking him up for life. Some people are not able to care for an adult 24/7 and not everyone has the ability to deal with that situation when it is forced upon them. Should he be charge with a crime? Most definately yes. Should it face a prison term? Yes also. I also think it should come with some serious couseling but putting him away for life is not the answer. A lot of people have done some really messed up stuff when they are in a situation that they do not want to be in and can't think of a logical way out.
