Murdering Children. God, the Death Penalty and Human Rights
He was 3 years old. Found dead in the woods with a diaper on. Chase's father said they duct taped his hands to his little legs. They put a sock in his mouth, strapped a broom handle to his back and made him stand in the corner all night while the adults went to bed.
Natalie
She was 5 years old and died at the hands of her stepmother and her father. Her hands were bound with duct tape and they put a sock in her mouth. They then stuffed her in a suitcase and put it in the closet for 14 hours. Her father says the stepmother murdered her, but he was there and aware of everything that was going on. Natalie's body has yet to be found.
Get the idea of what this sister and brother went through in their extremely short and violated lives? When you read the father's above account of the murders, what was your reaction? Sick? Angry? Did you say a prayer for the fallen innocent babes? Now what?
If things go as usual, step mom and daddy will go to court and get sentenced to life in prison. Or, maybe one will cut a deal and get a lighter sentence. Or, they may end up on death row for 10-18 years waiting to be executed. The death penalty comes under fire as a human rights violation. Once again, read what these 2 children went through. The kids are dead. Who's human rights are being violated?
"But I'm a Christian and don't believe in the death penalty!" I'm sick of hearing that God doesn't want us to send these murderers back to Him. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. Maybe we should all go read the 35th chapter of Numbers. Maybe that will give us the knowledge that God wants murderers to be harshly punished.
What does it do to a nation that is flooded by violence? Innocent blood being spilled in a nation that has always been blessed by God? Has human rights for murderers surpassed obeying God? Example: Numbers 35:33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it.
Chase was 3. Natalie was 5. They were innocent. Their dad has confessed to being present and says the step mom murdered them. Isn't that enough? Is it time to start sending people back to God? If DNA supports the verdict or if there are 2 witnesses or if the condemned has admitted to the crime, why do they wait on death row so long?
In terms of money, Alabama (where these murders occurred) spends approx. $21.88 a day or roughly $20,000.00 a year on inmates. Minnesota spends $103.63 a day. Where's the deterrent if you provide food, shelter, education, clothing, legal and medical for them? Some of these murderers and criminals live better in prison! In Florida, 1 of 3 criminals return to the state prisons after release. That does NOT include those put in jail, federal prison or prisons in other states. 1 in 3!!!
God bless the innocents.

Post a CommentGood reporting. Such a sad and depressing article. Unfortunately, we read of these happenings daily in the newspapers or hear of them on the news. Children are so preciousl.
I barely made it through this because it was so disturbing. However, sometimes we have to be reminded of the utter cruely out there. I can't conceive of the kind of person that would murder a child.
This is so horrible! Very important information, Sherry. It just breaks my heart for what these children must have went through before they died.
Because he allowed this woman to abuse his children he is just as responsible for the actions and deaths of these children. He needs to be put to death along with the woman and the baby needs to be taken and given to a family that will never share with it who the mother and father were.
I can't bear to read this although it is an important article.
Anyone who murders a child is not human and has no rights.
