Peterson III.

Wonders never cease. After reading this story, I am astounded that people actually perpetrate these crimes on another human being, let alone their own children.

If you don’t know, I work for a family law firm and the work we do has involved bitter divorce and custody disputes. I can’t imagine going from love to loathing in sixty seconds for a man that I vowed to be with through sickness and health (He still manages to annoy me, but I love him all the same).

In what is purported to be an act of revenge on his ex-wife, this father allegedly burned his sons alive. They are both now on life support. How quickly children become the victims in situations designed to attack the other spouse. It is unfortunate.

While I do not have children of my own, I could never fathom taking these actions that this man allegedly took. Welcome to the club, Mr. Peterson III.

It is very disturbing... we alway's have to be alert, the devil is working very hard on this earth!
Do you think that these tragedies are working more and more frequently?
Those poor kids! Why would anyone ever want to hurt someone they love like that?

To tell you the truth, I don't know. Around this area, parents just seem to go nuts on children and spouses. It's bothersome and completely out of my mind, how they can do such things, y'know?

It's very scary... these are the people we need to be seeking out and bringing into the churches... Ideally before they freak out like this. There really are a lot around here... the lady that drowned her kids a few years ago... Maybe it's everywhere? I don't know we just can't understand... we are truely blessed to have the loving families we do!
