10-Year-Old, Died After Being Denied Water As Punishment
It's "people" (I used that term loosely in this case) like this that make me believe in an "eye for an eye".
Source: Huffington Post
DALLAS -- A 10-year-old Dallas-area boy who died of dehydration after his father and stepmother kept water from him was being punished for wetting the bed, authorities say.
The boy, Jonathan James died July 25 after water was kept from him for five days while temperatures soared to 100 degrees or more each day, police said. The boy's dad, Michael Ray James, and stepmother, Tina Alberson, both 42, were jailed after being charged Thursday with injury to a child causing serious bodily injury.
Jonathan's twin brother, Joseph James, and a 12-year-old stepbrother were not injured and are staying with relatives.
Attorneys for the dad and stepmother did not immediately return calls seeking comment left at their offices Saturday night.
"They still wouldn't let him have water," Joseph said.
Joseph told the newspaper he wanted to help his brother but was worried he would face similar punishment.
"I wanted to do something, but I couldn't," Joseph said. "I couldn't do nothing because I would get in trouble."
Police documents show the boy suffered until he collapsed at his father's Red Bird home and hit his head on the floor. He was taken to a hospital, and authorities say Michael James told authorities there that Jonathan was sick. Medical staff were unable to revive the child.
The boys' grandmother, Sue Shotwell, said Jonathan was easy-going and never held a grudge.
"This kid, if you know Jonathan, he could forgive you for no matter what you did," Shotwell said. "You could ground him, and he would say `I love you, Mimi.'"

that still wouldn't be enough.
As Jennie said, AN EYE FOR AN EYE would be more than fitting.

Definitely! It would never happen so at LEAST that should be done. Don't they have the death penalty in TX? I hope they don't get off on some lesser charges

Re: 10-Year-Old, Died After Being Denied Water As Punishment
The grandma seem nice enough. I don't get why the twin didn't call for help. He must know it's wrong and could have called the police or the grandma.
I hope those the parents get what's coming to them in jail.

Re: 10-Year-Old, Died After Being Denied Water As Punishment
This is absolutely disgusting.
I feel so sorry for the twin brother who likely will blame himself for not helping his brother for the rest of his life. I can totally understand his fear thinking he would be punished also, and now his brother is gone.
I would like to leave these "parents" outside in Death Valley tied to a cactus for a 5 days until the vultures come.

I think this sounds like a fair punishment.

The boys' grandmother, Sue Shotwell, said Jonathan was easy-going and never held a grudge.
"This kid, if you know Jonathan, he could forgive you for no matter what you did," Shotwell said. "You could ground him, and he would say `I love you, Mimi.'"
There are a million ways to describe a child. The words "he was a forgiving child" would never occur to me when describing a child in a normal home. I'm not sure the grandmother was oblivious to the punishments.
