Michelle Napolitano Gets 20 Years for Hanging Son Upside Down for Days on End

• Oh yeah? wow! Yes my kids have told me horrible stories of this. I will only hope the judge considers more time than 20 years, from what they all think it might be Dec 20-12. Um no I dont think so! I will go next time and make sure she burns in that prison!

• i cant believe someone could have such a cold soul. her daughter... franchesca was my best friend ever, to think i went over to there house all the time like i lived there.not once did i ever think that bitch would do such a thing.collin is like my brother.. i cant believe she did that.she use to treat me like i was her daughter!.. my friend does not deserve such a horrible thing to happen to her family. i went over there not even knowing the truth about michelle. all of those kids are like my family.. they considered me there big sis. poor collin, heaven, honey, franchesca,norma jean and jacob... i love u and send all my hopes.i remember going and staying a week with them and she was so mean to collin. her daughter norma had a black eye and michelle blamed it on jacob, collin tried to tell me that michelle did it but michelle called him a lier and she duck taped his hands and pulled down his pants and spanked him then made him pull up his pants with duck taped hands and laughed at him she made him stand on his tippy toes with only his nose touching a wall! i hope michelle burns in hell.

• YOUR VERY WELCOME, this evil person needed to go to prison for all the bad crimes she committed to these beautiful children...I hope she never gets paroled. Jude

• I never  said there was anything about God in this article. I just said that God needs to bless anyone that goes thru this..... We need God in our lives. She obvioulsy needed God a long time ago. She has to be related to the devil!

• I knew this woman, she lived in my town. For years we seen those children go thru hell, but nothing got done, no matter how much we reported her. But Thankfully something did happen but I am sorry poor little Colin had to lose his feet for it to happen. She deserve 20 for each child that suffered at her hand.

• @ Judy- I'd really get a dna test. I heard from very reliable sources that the 3 different guys she claimed was the dad of the newest weren't even mentioned to the courts. And she told the courts it was 1 of 3. So that brings the total to 6 names given. I heard the real dad was found but didn't hear if it was w dna proof. Cause believe me you do not want this wackjob in ur life if she doesn't need to be. I feel horrible ur path has crossed hers. And your ex might have gotten sucked in but keep ur children away. She is poion to everyone and anyone she comes in contact with. I've been to hell and back trying fixing the damage she's done to me and my family.

• Mark Where do you find anything about God in this article ? Don't blame God - God wants people to be holy as he is holy if you are not there yet - well I guess you have an issue with God like everyone else. He gave us a way to live to fix that...

• I cant believe this.. MY ex husband married this crazy bitch. NO 20 years is not enough- she lost 7 children. She had 6 then my ex knocked her up. She tried to get out of the state of Utah while in labor and ended up having this baby in an ambulance in CO. so the state didnt take that baby-- but,he is with the grandparent? Oh these children have been so hurt. My children had to visit every other weekend for a bit-- Atleast they are older teens.My ex was told that the other child did it and she knew nothing of it. I have lost my best friend (my ex) because she is that crazy to come between us, and our relationship to raise our kids as healthy as possible. I wont do it with her in the picture. God bless those children,adults and elderly whom are being tortured and abused like this.Please pray for peace.

• I must have missed the parenting class/book that said hanging your children upside down by their feet was an acceptable form of punishment. What exactly did these childred do to constitute this form of abuse? Wow...just...wow...if these little ones' don't have some form of brain damage I will be REALLY surprised. Honestly, as much as I hate eye for an eye, why not do the same to her for hours on end? Oh wait...that's TORTURE and that's UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Wow, we learn something every day, don't we? This woman shouldn't be tried for just child abuse but for torture as well, illegal detention, all of that lovely stuff.

• @ everyone saying she needs to get treated the same way. Ok I do agree she deserves it, but I dont wish it on her. Think about it shes scum shes a horrble mother an she was lucky to only get twenty years, but shes still (though barely) human. She dosent deserve this nor did her children, I think she should be in there for life. Yet I dont wish that she gets abused like her (thankfully not anymore) children. Who truly knows the reason she did this, an ATLEAST she pleaded guilty unlike the father.

• Damn, look at those eyes! I don't think that I've ever seen a more pure evil visage.

• Child abuse crimes should require sentencing to default to life without parole. Not 5 years. Not 20 years. Not 50 years. Life without parole for any child abuser.

• Swampio..you are right. Dave's first book was "A Child called it". There actually was a series of them. "the Lost Boy" tells about his life in the foster system and then " A Man Named Dave" is about adult years. All are great reads and prepare to cry alot.

• Leah, Dave Pelzer is his name.

• Leah, I remember that book, but I thought it was "A child Called 'It'". He grew up and wrote a book too, I think it was "A man Named Dave" or something like this.

• Throw away the key.

• alexa my friend-doing tremendously well this fine morning. glad you are here and fighting the good fight :D either a Drano douche or a douche with a fire hose...icky indeed LOL!!!

• Heyas cw, how you today? We're all holding forth with gusto as you see. =) Doesn't a Drano douche sound icky? I mean it's making me cross my legs just thinking about it.

• this to me is deserved of the death penalty-or the Drano douche would be suitable

• What kind of monster does that to their child? Hey, I can understand not rushing your child to the ER for every cut, scrape and bruise, especially if your religion has a phobia of those who have taken the Hippocratic Oath, but you don't ever hang a child upside down for 3-4 days, allowing their Owwies to turn into Gangrene! I mean WTF were they thinking? Did their God, in his "infinite wisdom" tell them that by hanging their child upside down for several days the icky stuff causing their illness will drip out of them? Seriously, can we charge their God with Criminal Charges too? Kudos to the Judge for not accepting the Plea Bargain that the ball-less DA offered...and even more Kudos for him giving her the Maximum that the law would allow him to give. I'm sure he feels, just as the rest of us do, that 20 years in Singh-Singh is hardly enough for Justice to be truly served, but by then her children will be grown enough to harbor some serious resentment towards their sorry excuse of a mother, to not let her back in their lives when she gets out.

• Jenn, I was thinking the exact same thing. And she should be forced to watch a video of burn victims being scrubbed of their skin so fresh, unmelted skin will grow instead. And Drano douche.

• @ Illusions, well said!

• Hang her up to except maybe use the neck instead of the feet. !@#*

• I agree that 20 years is too short. I think she should stay in jail until her reproductive organs shrivel up and die, so that she will never be able to harm a child again.

• Don't understand how someone could actually do this to their own child..

• Damn I wish they would just apply "an eye for an eye" justice in cases like this!!! Hang the fugly bitch from something by her feet for 2 days...no....a week...and beat the shit outta her while she's there! Maybe, just maybe, people would think twice about hurting a child!!!!

• Maybe she thought her husband was "Gallagher" and she was trying to come up with new stunts? Seriously, this lady needs to have her spinal column severed just above the waist.

• Glad the judge could see she was a piece of shit from the start and would do the kids more harm by giving her the minimum sentence. To bad she only gets 20 years.

• I agree with Sarah. This little boy will have the rest of his life to deal with results of this horrific abuse. Twenty years seems far too short compared to the lifetime of recovery for her children.

• 20 years isn't enough in my opinion. She should never be allowed to be free again. That boy (and the other siblings) will remember and bare the scars for the rest of their lives. How a "mother" could do this is beyond me :(

• what a terrible monster,she should have to go through the same thing as her child went through

• When I first read a year in jail, I almost threw up. Thankfully the judge was on top of things and gave her 20. This woman should have never had one child let alone five. She is the lowest of our species and I hope that her fellow inmates give her some of the same treatment she gave her children - over the 20 years. Over and over.

• Seriously - what a disgusting human being. How could a mother actually do something like this to her child? And by looking at her face in the photo, it's clear to me that she feels no remorse whatsoever. I cannot imagine why people do some of the hideous, horrible things they do - much less to their own children.
