The whole thing really upset me. There's not a lot more to add, other than to what everyone here's said, but one of the things that haunts me, is that the poor little boy stopped crying when the "boyfriend" went near him, for fear of being hurt even further. Having his back snapped in two just did it for me - I was crying for the little mite. His agony is unimaginable, and I hope the mother and her filthy bf get abused every day they spend in prison. Pity capital punishment isn't brought back.
