What utter scum Hope they rot in jail.

[Square Leg]

Just watching it on the news - poor little mite never had a chance.
Utter scum ‘parents’.

Those happy smiling pictures of murdered babies/ toddlers get me every time. Some crimes I can understand but this? Just how can anyone behave like this? I mean, I know the standard excuses (abused as a child himself etc etc) but that explains nothing. They are just insults to all those who had st childhoods and make something useful of themselves as adults.
And there are so many people out there who would have loved that baby if its (step) parents wanted it gone.

There is evil amongst us.

When I read things like this I much want there to be some form of afterlife where this little soul is looked after and loved.

"Jacob died "in his cot, alone" on 30 December 2020 at home near Swadlincote, Derbyshire, having suffered a "living hell"."

Sat at my desk at work crying. I've no idea why this story hit me so hard. I've read plenty of other news stories equally as harrowing but this one really got me. RIP

[anonymous-user]

As soon as I see these headlines I cannot even read the stories as it is so horrendous. It makes me feel sick that nobody at all was looking out for these poor children.

Hopefully some of his colleagues inside will give him a taste of his own medicine.

[Sheets Tabuer]

Defenceless, utterly defenceless. unable to understand why they were doing it, utterly trusting them everytime they picked him up.

I just can't get my head around it.

That would be good.

Prior to becoming a father, this sort of thing would cause me mere anger. Now I'm a dad, it drives me into a deep and abiding rage, underpinned by a conviction that I could actually kill these sorts of people for the cruelty that they visit upon defenceless babies and young children. Hypocritical perhaps, but I'm beyond caring. There is zero redemption for them in my eyes. Maybe, just maybe, if they had committed such a crime in the heat of the moment, after months of lack of sleep (for example) and in a flash of uncontrolled anger, there would be an argument for some sort of understanding of their human frailties. But sustained, intentional physical torture over a period of months? Literally unforgivable.

I also have just been watching the news report, it's sickening and so upsetting.
Pure evil, as others have said.
Not that it matters now, but where is the biological dad in all this?

It's quite possible he never knew of the birth - or she's not sure who it was.

Sky news, was on earlier in the background, reporting on this, honestly it brought a tear to my eye listening to what happened and the extent of his injuries, the news reporter in the studio was clearly affected by this as she moved on to something else.

Just wtf are some people like, it just beggars belief, a baby FFS!

[SmoothCriminal]

There has been so many recently of these scummy s killing defenceless babies.

Honestly there are some sick individuals about.

Nothing that bd suffers when he's in prison will be bad enough payback for what he's done.

No it won’t.

I become a dad for the first time just under three weeks ago to a wonderful baby girl. And what I find most odd is that you have two sociopaths under one roof at the same time. My wife is small, shy and doesn’t like confrontation but if I as much as looked at our daughter the wrong way she’d rip my eyes out. My wife wouldn’t ever get a chance to hurt her again if she crossed a line. How neither of them could protect an innocent baby is behind me.

I think they are both in for the time in prison they deserve. Watching that coward wimper in front of a female pc - shows how weak he was. How the police didn’t give him a good hiding I’ll never know. I couldn’t sit in front of them and know what they had done and keep my cool. But that is maybe more of a reflection of my I suppose. Either way they both deserve slow painful agonising deaths like they subjected that baby to.

Congratulations on your daughters birth

A vote winner would be off shoring those convicted of offences like this. To Rwanda perhaps. Or maybe somewhere warm, like the UAE. If anyone wanted to visit, they could do it via video link. Would likely be much cheaper for the tax payer. Knocking 50degs in the summer.

I've got my 4 week old son asleep in my chest. I can't imagine not stopping something else hurting him. My wife said when she first held him she'd fight tigers for him. Just about the complete opposite of those two.

What I find most depressing is the sheer number of such cases over the years. I remember hearing the case of Victoria Clumbia whilst I was listening to the news in the car - I felt physically sick & had to pull over. This latest tragedy was no different. The graphic details are utterly sickening - what drives a person to behave in this way?
