Christian Choate
This story is disgusting. I cannot imagine how a “parent” could do this to their child. Beat him and keep him in a dog cage? He was a HUMAN BEING, a child. No child deserves this. And then to encase his body in cement, there are no words to describe how I feel about this. I did not understand why they did not go for the death penalty in this case. It was well-deserved, by both of them. Neither are fit to be called a parent. How did they think they were going to get away with it? I never noticed that they even reported him missing (maybe I missed that in my anger and disgust!). This beautiful young boy did not deserve any of this, or the abuse he suffered for years. I hope he is at peace now.
