you think they mean.t to kill him. It happened in new zealand. Moodymagic, i wonder if ben has anything to do with his mother? If that were me i'd be pretty pissed off with her. And i certainly wouldn't let her near my child. If she can stand by and watch the boyfriend beat her child to death, and then reward him with marriage, i wouldn't let her look after a dog turd. I hope that ben has a good life and judging by the picture of him and his daughter, i think he's doing ok, and thats lovely to name his little girl after his brother. You know the fact that no one reported the abuse the entire time does not surprise me one bit. I have said before my siblings and I had a pretty shitty stick dealt our way as far as parents go and there were numerous occasions in which because of some sort of physical abuse or neglect resulted in me or my sis's in the hospital or doc and even telling these docs what happened and nothing was done. I remember going to my teacher and begging for her help, I told her we didn't always get food at night, my parents fought violently and drank all night. I cried to her. And NOTHING ever happened. Luckily we weren't as bad off as poor Daniel. He would have been my age.That evil cunt can't blame the "system" for her baby's death.Sorry for that long
