[http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090521/ap\_on\_re\_us/us\_playground\_body](http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090521/ap_on_re_us/us_playground_body) Of course, I’m all for the near-death penalty for this crazy bitch, then she should be revived, and then get the real death penalty. I wouldn’t mind if two or three more near-death penalties were thrown in. ---

Sounds like like somebody should have said something about this stupid lady to child services. Might have saved the kid’s life. ---

For some reason, the last paragraph rubs me the wrong way: > [@](#): > > “We named him ‘Baby Angel’ and it’s important now that we know his real name,” said Sarah Sandoval, who lives nearby. “Now, his mother will find out this baby has a lot of people who love him and will do anything for a child.” Well, they may go to great lengths to avenge his death, but I don’t see a lot of effort described in the article to do anything for him while he was alive, namely separate him from his abusive mother. ---

She was kicked out of two homes (one of them her mother’s) “for the way she treated her son,” but neither of those households were concerned enough to call CPS? ---

This inexplicable fact grabbed me, too. How was homelessness supposed to make this self-absorbed woman stop “ignoring the boy and withholding affection”? ---
