I don’t really feel like swearing or ranting a whole lot. I just don’t know what can be done to stop stuff like this from happening.
People like the person that did this anger and frighten me on so many different levels that its hard to just yell “Fuck you goat felcher shit eater etc…” because that just doesn’t make me feel better.
I have a 3 year old little girl and she lives with her mom. We are still very close and I have her several days a week. But what if some fuck does something like this to her when I am not around? What do you do? Shes my baby and I would lose my mind for good if someone did this to her. It angers me because I know that I would kill the person that did something like this without hesitation and that would make me a murderer ala “A Time to Kill”. I am not generally murderous though.
I just don’t get what makes people do something like this. It doesn’t make any sense.
How do we protect ourselves and our children from stuff like this? I hope this POS gets caught and put straight in the chair and put down to hell where he belongs. Along with anyone else that would even consider doing things like this.
I had serious tears over this outcome. I can’t imagine what her parents are going through. My God, it has to be the worst that anyone has ever gone through.
It’s just un-fucking-believable that there are actually people on this Earth that would do such a horrific thing to a child. My heart hurts for all parents of children.
I am not one to have kids but that little girl was just being a little girl and someone hurt her and killed her. FUCK, we have a strange fucking life. This shit was just not known to me as a kid, we knew not to talk to strangers but this asshole took her away kicking and screaming.
WTF is wrong with our world if a little girl can’t go out and play in her yard?
I don’t think it’s just “these days” - I think there have always been, walking among us, creatures that look human, but are capable of such vile actions. These alleged humans are either born like this… or maybe other monsters did enough to them that they became like this. Either way… it is horrible.
At ten months old, our baby son is trusting and accepting of strangers. He sees anyone and he holds out his arms to be picked up, grinning his four-toothed grin and charming anyone who sees him.
How sad it is that we will have to explain to him, over and over, that he cannot trust anyone he doesn’t know. And that even adults he knows have boundries.
My heart weeps for that poor little girl, and her family. They will be in my prayers this week.
Are things getting worse? It doesn’t seem so, but that fact does nothing to end the anguish of this family today. I can’t imagine how her playmate is dealing with it, or the victim’s grandmother, who was the one watching them. I’d feel so guilty, and so helpless, and so angry, and so confused…
It’s things like this that make me desperately hope that there is a heaven of some kind. As horrid as that little girls last moments were, it’s only fair that she be compensated somehow.
And to the cowardly beast that did this; I wish nothing more for you than that you be treated with the same level of consideration and humanity that you have chosen to treat others with. I hope that little girl’s spirit haunts you until the day you die alone, unloved, and unmourned.
Did you see the little girl’s photo? So happy and angelic.
When my mind begins to imagine what her last moments on earth were like …
For what it’s worth (virtually nothing, in the wake of such a senseless, brutal, devastating loss), there are a group of VERY MOTIVATED police officers looking to remove the vermin responsible for this from society.
PLEASE get the job done before “it” does it again.
This is my greatest fear, that something like this could happen to one of my children, or our neighbours children, or really… anyone’s child. My oldest daughter is almost five and looks like Samantha with her curly auburn locks, dark eyes, and loving smile.
My greatest fear has become someone elses reality. They must be in hell.
They are not going to get their beloved daughter back because some demon in the form of a man took her away, raped her, and then murdered her. Samantha’s last moments of life must have been horrific.
There is sadness and there is rage in me at reading this.
I would offer my sympathies to this family as a father of my own little girls but would disagree with them on wanting vengeance.
There should be no mercy and no quarter given. The killer of this precious child left enough evidence that there should be no doubt to his identity when he is caught. Once this has been established I say kill him slowly. Viciously. Painfully.
Those who prey on our children should suffer the most severe punishment imaginable. Our society has no place for monsters that prey on children.
God, reading that felt like a mule kick in the guts…
One child’s life, another’s innocence.
Once they catch the beast, I say let him live for the time being… but make sure the lifers in Maximum Security have a look at that little girl’s picture… so they’ll be waiting for him.
And the worst part is, in my mind, reading stuff like this doesn’t affect me at all. I’ve just become desentized (sp) to it. Although I’m still wondering why the torture and burning of a kitten got me angry, but this, I just felt nothing.
Damned world. It’s getting to the point where I’d be extremely reluctant to bring a child into being, what with where the world seems to be spiralling down into. There’s always been child molestors and remorseless moral zeros, but what the hell sort of person does this? One-third of all women are sexually assaulted at least once in their lives - my mother and my sister are two, for example. We’re no better off now than we were in the age when women were considered property - and from this bit of news, we may even be worse.
Burn in whatever circle of hell is reserved for thoughtless condom breaks like yourself.
Yes, the people that do this are evil and no punishment is too harsh for them.
But I’m really sick of the way the media covers these stories. Child kidnappings are this summer’s shark attacks. I would be very surprised to learn that this summer has significantly more missing children than any previous years. 2001 actually had FEWER shark attacks than 2000, but they were reported like mad. I am willing to bet it’s more or less the same deal with missing children.
There are, sadly, many children in this country that face such a plight. However, the media circus surrounding a precious few of these cases (especially if they are white middle class girls) is shameful.
The perpetrator of this horrific crime is not a demon or a monster. He is a human being (I am reluctant to call him a “person”, which I guess is my own concession to my wrath). The same God who made me, made him as well.
The mother gave some interviews to the media (to ask the kidnapper to return her little girl) until the body of her daughter was found. In the Los Angeles Times it was reported that she did her best to teach her daughter what to do if someone grabbed her. I found it especially heartbreaking to read that Samantha cried out “Help me! Tell my grandmother!” as the man grabbed her. Even though I know that this (kidnapping of a child by a stranger) is a rare event[sup]1[/sup], reading this article filled me with the sad knowledge that whatever you teach your children, they are vulnerable to a determined killer.
[sup]1[/sup]In the Los Angeles Times a spokeswoman for for the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said that these cases are very rare, 200 to 300 a year (which of course is 300 too many.)
There are no words to express the sadness.
