So we read about two dead kids this week, and these are just the ones whose stories we know about. It is interesting that if you are from a prominent family in Boulder you get slapped with an ankle bracelet about a year after the fact; otherwise, you go to jail without passing go and collecting your $200. Seriously though, remind me again why kids are so much better off in a straight family than a gay one?

READER COMMENTS

They aren't ...and that you make it all about you instead of the kids says alot . No one cares who you 'do it ' with. Keep it in the closet and do something to help these abused kids. Are all gays this self involved?

5:46, you make a lot of assumptions in your post.

I have a sneaking feeling you dwell on what people "do" and who they "do it with" since you mentioned it.

And you know the writer is gay , how?

Not at all.....I have no need to dwell on such things. How do I know the letter writer is gay? I don't ...but since Michelle turned a letter about abused kids into a a gay thing....I'll lay odds. Why would someone bring that last sentence into focus if they weren't? I calls it like I sees it. You don't like it....tell it to the constitution.

You calls it like you think you sees it. See the difference?

Yes....and so whats your problem with the way I see it? You have an opinion, I have an opinion. Lifes good.

btw....to the powers that be at the RMN, if you are going to insist that I post my name ( I didn't here but later my name was added) then I expect you pc a-holes to put everybodies name on every thread they post. Not just mine dealing with this subject! Got it?

"This one has been a long time coming. Six months after the grand jury was impaneled, and nearly 14 months after 10-week-old Jason Midyette was taken off life-support and died, Louisville, Colorado parents Alex and Moly Midyette have been charged with a seven-count indictment for child abuse in connection with Jason’s death.

The father, Alex Midyette, 27, is charged with inflicting numerous injuries on his son including 27 broken bones and a fractured skull. Alex is also charged with placing the baby in harm’s way, and waiting too long to seek medical help. The mother, Molly Midyette, 28, is charged with putting her son in harm’s way and waiting to seek medical help.

During the baby’s autopsy the coroner disovered that his frenulum, the tissue that connects the gum to the lip, was ripped. This usually happens when someone forces a bottle or pacifier into a child’s mouth. Jason also had bruises. Grand jury testimony shows that the baby was suffering for at least three days from his injuries although autopsy findings show Jason’s fractures were in various stages of healing meaning that not all of his injuries occurred at the same time.

Alex and Molly Midyette will be monitored by electronic home ankle bracelets and have been barred from being around children, including family members, less than two years old."

Ann's opinion about the foregoing story is that she thinks Michelle is gay. Also sounds like Ann has little or no interest in the welfare of children but has an usual amount of interest in gays. Sounds like homophobia to me. Of course, that's just my opinion. I expect Ann's is different. I suggest she tell the constitution. As far as life being good, doesn't seem iit was so good for Jason.

Ann reads a story about a little baby being tortured and her reaction: life is good. Interesting.
