OMG man liek the prev person said. you will find a way to feed your child. there are a lot of resources to get food for your children. i wonder if they had eaten. people like this need to somehow be removed from this earth. pay attention to whats around you. there are a lot of kids out there with no one to back them up. help the kids they need us careing adults who have a conscious

THE BABY WAS FOUND IN THE CLOSET DEAD. THE PARENTS SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE MONEY TO FEED THE BABY. A MOTHER WILL FIND MANY WAYS TO FEED HER CHILD RATHER THEN LET THEM DIE. LIKE WELFARE. SO YES IT WAS CHILD ABUSE AND THE PARENTS SHOULD BE DEAD :)

IF YOU READ THE FULL REPORT THE BABY WAS FOUND IN THE CLOSET DEAD. AND THE PARENTS SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FEED HER BECAUSE THEY HAD NOT MONEY ..... SO YES THEY ARE GUILTY OF CHILD ABUSE. AND SHOULD BE KILLED

Dear New2az: Simply because the police say the baby was malnourished does not mean that the parents are necessarily implicated in its death. A statement of fact is not proof of guilt. And harking on that note, what the police say and what actually happened all too often are two completely different things. If you honestly think that a news story can explain in proper detail the facts of this "possible" crime then you are a tad bit ignorant. Also, you don't need all that much evidence to arrest and charge a suspect of a crime. Something as weak as circumstantial evidence with "reasonable" suspicion is more then enough to land most of us in jail. And let me be clear here...I am in no way justifying child abuse or in any way suggesting that a 6 week old dying is not a serious situation. What I am saying is that we need to gather all facts and let the proper authorities determine if the parents are guilty of the crime. We need to stop living in a society ruled by the mentality of Nancy Grace. We don't all hold credentials in criminal law.

Phxnative-I completely agree. I am not defending what they did by all means I am just saying we don't have all the info. I would do everything I could. It is sad whatever the reasoning. It is not right and I agree they should have asked for help!

Hmmm...wonder what the parents were eating or if they lost any weight. Was there not any breast feeding going on here for this 6 week old? I know some people can't for some reason. How about all the food banks...churches....family and so on that offer food? There is nothing wrong in asking for help to keep your child alive. I just Googled food banks in Tucson and there are many. Even an animal on instinct, will do whatever it takes to keep their young fed.

Our prayers go out to the baby and family.

I have heard from a source that knew the family and what they told me was they were going through hard times. They didn't have enough money at times to buy formula. It is still not an excuse but we live in a society that heaven forbid you have to tell anyone you are poor. They may not have known about the State Asst programs out there also. I have been there and had to get state asst had I not known it would have been tough to make it. The news always brings out the worest. They never can be given the whole story which means we are not informed. Whatever the reason we never know. It is sad but we just don't know the details to judge harshly.

I heard from a source that knows the family that they were going through hard times and didn't have a lot of money and could not afford formula. That still is not an excuse but we live in a prideful society where no one wants to admit they are poor to anyone cause then they are judged. These parents may not have known the options and state asst that they could have gotten. It is sad but you know the news they bring out the worest of the worest even if it is not the full story. I think we are all guilty of judging to quickly.

6 weeks old. This poor baby did not even have a chance. So much pain and suffering must she have endured. How could this happen? Are we as a society so removed that no one saw that she was dying a slow and horrible death? Family, friends, neighbors did not see or hear her cries for help? These people should suffer the same fate. I know it would never happen, but maybe if people who commit these acts of torture would have the same done to them, these situations would not happen. Then again, you can't stop evil with threats, since evil people don't have any regard for others. RIP little one. I think I will go and hug my kids now and be thankful for them.......
