It is sad that there were only 25 of us out here who were willing to take five minutes of our valuable time to write a letter that might keep a child killer off the streets. Thank God one board member cared. Good luck, Mr. Cline. Keep us informed.

I wish the article went into more detail on how this child was treated. That man (lack of a better word) is a sick person, and should never be allowed back on the streets.

Paused, look at the articles linked on the right side of the page for more details of what happened.

The man probably should not be released for a long time for failing to stop his wife from murdering the child, but when the people who are vehemently opposing it are all relatives of the so called mother who "beat his (the child's) head with a table leg, fed him rat poison and smothered him" (per previous article) , it really sounds like sour grapes on their part. If the mother were to ever get a parole hearing, they would probably be singing a different tune on her behalf.

OWL- I am not related to, nor do I even know this family. I simply believe that all adults are responsible for the safety of all children. If the woman comes up for parole, rest assured, I will voice the same opinion about her release. Twenty years is not enough for the horrible death of this child. But that is what the court gave him and he needs to serve every second of it. I would do the same for your child or any other child out there who needs a voice to speak for them.

Owl- I am the aunt of James and I think unless you know this family and what we have been through and all of the facts you should not talk about us!! My husband and I have not spoken to my husband's sister since this all happened and we do not support her in anyway and we never will for what she has done! We feel that she should serve all of her time and if she was ever up for parole, my husband and I would be there again asking them to keep her in there too!!!

OWL- I am the uncle of James. As for your "sour grapes", that is very insensitive to us. I hate my sister for what she did. We were trying to get him out of their house legally. DCS did nothing. It is silly to think that b/c you read some articles you found that you knew enough to make a statement like you did. I hope you got whatever thrill yo wanted. When all you did was add to our pain. Thank you, as if we didn't have enough already. As your question, if she was up for parole, I would be doing the same thing I am doing right now. I hope you feel better.

My son went to daycare with James for a long time and James was the sweetest little boy, always smiling and friendly to me when I picked up my son. I knew Rachel through the daycare and I honestly think that she was a good mother before this man/moster came along. I got a bad feeling from him the first time I met him. I am not saying Rachel is not responsible also, but I definitely think this would never have happened had she not met and married this guy. It is just so sad that poor little innocent James had to pay for his mothers lack in judgement. God will deal with them both when their time comes. What a waste for that sweet little boy to have lived for such a short time. My heart goes out to his family.
