" So, you think that if these two idiots were married this would not have happened? What you need to wish for are Mothers that put their children FIRST and the various men in their lives SECOND. "

" ok so i can say with a straight face that had that been one of my kids no one would have to worry about what "time" he got, i would kill the sorry s.o.b. my self! thats insane, he was cruel to him once to turn around and leave him with the child was neglect! i should not judge, but this breaks my heart. i understand wanting someone in your life, but what is wrong with these women/girls, that they would sacrifice their childrens lifes, or happiness just to have some one there, this is so sad it makes my heart hurt. that poor, poor baby! i would never settle for a man TALKING to my kids in an abusive tone, lord help him if he even THOUGHT of trying to hurt one of my kids!!!

" I take exception to your comment about wishing that unmarried people would stop living together. My fiance and I are both professional individuals raising a beautiful baby together in the same household and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the fact that we are not yet married. Would you rather our baby be yet another child without a father living in the home? I think not. Please consider what you're saying before making blanket statements. "

" "I'm not a morning person"??? Get real. What's funny is that when he goes to prison he'll be getting up at the crack of dawn to walk (6 - 6:30am) to the "chow hall". I use to work for DOC and I know that if....correction, when he gets a job assignment in the prison he may have to get up earlier than that. I'd like to see him tell the officer that comes to get him out of his pitiful little cell that he's not a "morning person"....hahahahaha "

" people who are not married would stop living together, but I really wish that women with children would stop letting men move in with them. We are living in a time where there are really unstable people out there who look really normal but they are not. You are putting your children in grave danger. "

" I have a two yr old son, and was horrified at this story...almost in tears! What is wrong w/ people? OMG....he punched him in the head? Is that bleeding going to cause brain damage? Young women really need to know who they are dating and not ever leave them alone w/ their children if they are not the father.....sorry, I just don't think it is worth it. Children are too precious. "

" I'm a morning person and I would be thrilled to give this bum a good "morning" beating of the same caliber he gave this child. Anytime someone exacts abuse and cruellty on a child they should be dealt an extremely harsh punishment immediately. "

" Somehow I think Hmm was being sarcastic. Yes it's horrible and probably not something to joke about. But I think you need to take a breath and think before you attack someone. "

" TO Hmm: What the hell does the day of the week have to do with this? He beat a 2 year old you D.A!! What part of that do you not get, and drinking Starbucks would not have helped this low life. Sounds like your a low life lazy ass just like him to use Starbucks as an excuse. The generations of those 35 and under are in trouble. "

" I hope he gets what he deserves in prison. there are TONS of people out there who are not morning people... example... MEEEE!!! But I would never do that to a child for gosh sakes!! What is wrong with people these days!! How sad... GIVE HIM THE FULL 20 years if not more. THat is not right to do that to a child who is 2!! "

" That's what Starbucks is for. Just curious, did these attacks occur on Monday mornings by chance? I would assume that would be a really bad morning for this guy. "

" Why did the mother let him continue to stay after the first incident when moving in? That seems to me to be the first clue. If your "boyfriend" is mistreating your children lose your boyfriend. He ain't worth it. "

" As part of his sentence/'rehabilitation', he should be made familiar with mornings. Wake him every day he's in prison at 4am for a workout session. "

" I am not a morning person either but would never do this to a child. What is wrong with people? I would love to get a hold of this guy on one of my bad mornings. "
