I read this yesterday and decided against posting it with all the positive vibes floating around. It is a lot to unpack and it is a terrible tragedy. Can’t have sympathy for him or his GF in the death of a child but hate to see it.

No excuses for this.  Disgusting.  Bet he'll be somewhere other than general population wherever he stays, even convicts have a moral code...

I got this alert the yesterday, and it was so sad to see. Just terrible all the way around, but especially for the child! 😢

If its about a kid I'm not reading it.  Rot in hell scumbag.

I don't plan to so I won't assume anything.  But in general, I cannot fathom the type of animal a person must be to harm their own child.  My kids are my world.  My mind just cannot go there.

I have thought about this quite a bit. Before I had kids, I hated kids. Now I just hate everyone else’s kids but like you said, my kids are my world. There is a biological connection in a parent that makes their own kids tolerable I think. Maybe pheromones. I don’t think I could do a blended family. I admire people, like my own stepdad, who can raise someone else’s kid as their own, I don’t think I could. Maybe I am a jerk but I am very self aware in this.

I hope both do rot for what they did to this poor child! 😢

But I’m glad that justice was served and they were both sentenced to life in prison. However, I don’t like that Wood can be eligible for parole after 10 years served! 😡 Here’s to hoping it gets denied!

I was the same way.  I didn't even want kids, neither of us did.  It wasn't until a few years after my wife and I were married that she changed her mind.  I was hesitant but figured what the hell, let's do it.  I wouldn't change it for the world.  And I agree that our own children are way easier to stomach than other kids but I still couldn't fathom causing harm to someone else's kid either.  You are correct though that becoming a parent totally changes your mindset towards these things.

Thankfully what @jessemoore97 said regarding convicts is very true.  Prison justice is a very real thing.  Child abusers and woman abusers don't last very long inside in these types of cases.

That is so true!
