#1 Please pardon my presumption but from the mug shots, all I see are two bull dykes who have taken out their hatred of men upon a defenseless little boy. Flame me all you want. These two heartless and vicious scumbags need to undergo an extended stay at the Greybar Hotel. In a more just world, they would be publicly horsewhipped within an inch of their lives. And, yes, Mrs. Berrios is most definitely a hero. She literally saved this child's life.

#4 There's nothing in this story my wife and I haven't seen with our own eyes. That's one reason we have Timmy living with us. Even if he's returned to his mother, we're going to stay in touch to make sure what happened to him before doesn't happen again. We've also decided, even if Timmy is placed in our custody permanently, to open our home to at least one more abused child. Most anyone who wishes can become a foster-parent, and there's some excellent training available to them. And you CAN make a difference, even in a few months. If you can't be a foster-parent, even working through Big Brother/Big Sister programs can do wonders for these kids. No child should ever be starved the way this boy was, or the way our adopted son Joe was (19lbs at age 2yr 9mos).

Sweet merciful crap, OP! That isn't neglect or child abuse, that's TORTURE. How can a living human being do something like that to a defenseless child? This goes way beyond compulsive dieting women who give their infants low calorie foods. Nobody can ignore a 20 pound three year-old, even if some cretin actually managed to do so. You'd think that the child's cries of hunger would be enough to wrench even the most callouse heart. Evidently not.

OP, you have my deep respect for saving these children from a fate worse than death. I don't have to think twice about just what sort of paradise these kids stumble into when they arrive at your house. May you and your wonderful wife be blessed with every sort of happiness imaginable.

My monitor's going out of focus so I'll end here.

#6 I gotta add that there are newborn infants who weigh that much. Unreal.
