  • Be sure to link to the actual story and again, be sure to really think about the questions you pose.

  • I can't imagine how it must feel to be the boy's sister. It's just ridiculous how people could be so dumb as to leave a handgun where it can be easily found, especially when they have children. It's also very sad to think that there are people out there who abuse their children. There are some awful people in this world. I don't know if the parents will be out soon or not, but I hope that they remain in jail for a while.

    • i agree they should stay in jail for a while. i feel bad for the kids i hope they go somewhere better.

  • I'm not sure how I would feel as the boys sister, but I'm sure that unless the are able to make bail, they won't get out a county for at least a few weeks. Abuse is a huge topic around the nation, and any small topic like this could get huge just because it's a topic of debate.

  • I would be freaking out and scared. I don't know if they have a permit but they wont be in much trouble I don't think if they have a firearm. I would still be freaking out and scared

  • I would be worried what would happen to the parents and the child. I would think that they won't be in jail for long if the wife had a permit to have a firearm.

  • I would be scared. And im not sure how long the parents will be in jail. It is hard to say.
