This warm and loving couple (as put by their neighbors anyway)
were sentenced to 22 years for their crimes.
The crime they committed,
Starving a child to death.
22 years??
I guess I just do not understand the law. The max they could have gotten was only 30 years??
So you can starve a kid to death and get nothing but 30 years??
Why is that possible?

Again can anyone explain why all they could be given was 30 years?
The things that they done to this kid explained in the link and quote above as well as the one below is just sick. I would not do that to a dog let alone a child.
the fact that these two "parents" forced the boys biological siblings who were also adopted into the home into playing a part not only in the cover up but in the actual confining of this little boy Their blood brother is sickening. i can not imagine having to live with that. i pray they get these kids therapy and that they can possibly find placement for them that is healthy and loving and emotionally stable.
Another sad fact is that and I am not coming down on homeschooling. However this kid may have been saved if they had laws in place here in Maryland (unsure what they are in other states) to check in on Homeschooled kids if nothing but every 6 months just come around check on the kids see the work they are doing.Than that likely will never happen because it would mean more caseworkers, more cases, and more money, and we know that ain't happening.

Notice how they have so much support from their neighbors who call them loving and supportive. Wow I am glad I do not live in that community. The fact that they have so many supporting them and went to court as character witnesses just amazes me.

to read rest of storyDennis was treated like a criminal — he was locked in his room; he was monitored when he had to use the bathroom. ... He never wore clothes except for Sundays and holidays,†said one of Dennis’ sisters, whose identity was being withheld at prosecutors’ request. “When he was adopted, Dennis had no scars or bruises, but they multiplied.†She recounted an incident when Dennis was punished by being made to walk up and down stairs until he passed out and fell back down them
