Quote:Amber Fellenbaum [evil BFs estranged wife] was charged with child endangerment and sent to county jail unable to post $500,000 bail. She told investigators that she first became aware of the alleged abuse about two weeks ago when she saw Fellenbaum spank Scotty after the boy didn鈥檛 respond to Fellenbaum. She also said she saw Fellenbaum and Tait beat the boy with a green frying pan on another occasion and on Sunday saw Fellenbaum tape Scotty to a chair and severely pummel the boy鈥檚 face and stomach.

One of the things he told us was that when male chimpanzees come in and raid another group of chimps and drive off the other males, they kill all the young offspring in the care of the females.
This does two things: (1) brings the female chimps who were nursing back into estrus, and (2) gives a stronger shot for their own offspring to survive in the competition for food.
Everytime I see one of these "boyfriend kills other man's kid" stories (and they are common), I think of that.

What happens when religious people turn out to be evil as well?
Stories like this just remind me that bad people are just bad people, unfortunately we live in a society that has indoctrinated everyone else to believe that one specific type of person should be looked at with skepticism and fear, while those who look like them are to be trusted and revered.
One time for Scotty and one time for hope that his murderers meet rusty shivs in the near future.

In cases of baboon infanticide the alpha male kills the children of the former alpha male for sexual attention from the female (she won鈥檛 be in heat while caring for a baby). The females know this will happen, and take steps to protect their children, but normally within a few days the young from the former alpha are all dead. The mother herself plays no role in the killing, and in fact knows it is coming; the male gets to them when she suffers momentarily lapses in attention (very disturbing to watch; I鈥檝e seen films of this).

thats what I mean, this chick just offered the kid up and laughed about the torture. Baboons behave better.

Pennsylvania has the death penalty, although I believe it has been many years since they have actually executed someone. If these two are convicted, they are likely to get the death penalty, but are not likely to actually be executed. If and when they get to prison, they will either kill themselves (assuming that they don't kill themselves in county jail while awaiting trial), have happen to them what Jariel hopes happens to them, or will be in solitary confinement for their entire time there.
The two types of people who I refuse to represent are alleged child abusers and people charged with sex crimes, although I make some exceptions for sex crimes and actually got a guy acquitted of one in a jury trial not too long ago. Some of the exceptions are statutory rape, where the girl lied about her age or where the girl and her parents were in complete agreement with what the Defendant did and the charges resulted from some some nosy neighbor or person in the school.

A few months later, he moved in with us.
He used to beat the shit out of me. He used to get down on his knees and punch me in the face. Once, he handcuffed me to a chair and beat me with a big metal serving spoon. He used to throw away my toys and break my stuff.
I used to go to school with black eyes occasionally. The police came to my house once but they didn't really do anything.
After a few years, I moved in with some other relatives.
I have only talked to my mom a few times since then.
I don't think she wanted a child. Obviously, her boyfriend did not want me around.
I feel lucky to be alive. My mom was advised to have an abortion. Her boyfriend could have easily killed me with one of those punches to the face.
This thread reminds me that my mom and her boyfriend are really some low lives.
I'm lucky this didn't happen to me.

Honestly, I was lucky.
Many kids suffer far worse abuse than what I did. I have talked to children that were literally tortured.
Little girls get raped.
Little boys get fucked in their ass.
It would shock you if you knew what went on on the fringes of society.
My brother committed suicide, in part because he was sexually abused.
I was also sexually abused but I was never fucked in the ass or forced to suck dick. I am grateful for this everyday.
I suspect that my brother was not so lucky.
Child abuse is real and it happens everyday.

Awesome question!
I used to think about it a lot.
How could I get away with kidnapping and torturing the man who abused me..??
I wouldn't want to shoot him in the head or anything like that, I would want him to suffer over a long period of time.
I thought about cutting his dick off or cutting his eyes out? Impaling him with a sword up his ass or burning part of his body?
But, how would I get away with this???
If I get caught, I would likely get 20+ years in prison.
I don't think its worth it to take the chance.
Over the years, I have thought about it less and less. I actually haven't thought about it in years.
But, if I knew I could get away with it, I would hurt him.
At this point, I just don't think its worth the risk.
