FB friends with someone I graduated with in '75. Her sister in law had a puzzling post about her grandson dying, along with a request to keep hateful remarks regarding the situation away from her. I went "hmm, what's going on?" Googled the child's name, came up with several things, several were news reports of the dead grandchild's mother and father in jail charged with murder. 21 month old, head injuries, mother quoted as having lost control over the kids behavior and might have hurt him, the father charged because he knew abuse had been going on and did nothing.
Disturbing enough, right, also found the grandfather of the child with a site begging for money to help pay for the funeral, found posts about how they got enough to pay for funeral, now wanted money for headstone, posts on facebook mention people helping them out with funeral and other expenses. So, the public is being asked for money to help with "expenses" in addition to funeral/headstone. How nervy, a child lived 21 months of being abused, the husband knew, I can't believe other family didn't know, for pete's sake, the murdering mother went right ahead and said to police she was uncontrollable, enraged, the child was defiant. Now no one can tell me that if a woman will say that to police that she didn't express these thoughts to her own parents (who didn't live that far), and now these parents are getting money and sympathy from people. I hope they all land in jail, I hope the grandparents get thrown in jail for getting money under false pretense/don't keep proper accounting etc. I hope they get charged with being accessories.
And as far as money goes, let them sell off their property, have garage sales, sell the murdering parent's vehicles, and if they need a ride, let the ignorant grandparents who turned a blind eye drive their sorry asses around.
The kicker was these grandparents are posting on a joke thread about caskets, two weeks after burying their grandchild that was murdered by their daughter, jokes about caskets.
