wow, 39 year old grandmother. Well, i suppose if you're planning on spending most of your life in prison, good to have your kids young. Poor kid though, it really does sound like he was doomed from the getgo.

Well, as sad as it is this child lost his life... I'm thinking his poor life was doomed from the start having such a trashtactic family as he was part of.  There was no way this child would have been anything other than a statistic.

I agree. Five years on this earth living like that was sad enough.
