how horrible. i have 3 nephews ages 5,5 and 1. God Forbid anything ever happened to them. This is heart wrenching and disgusting at the same time. It's really scary when a human being is capable of barbaric and sadistic behavior and thoughts acted out on innocent lives. RIP AND GOD BLESS THIS LITTLE ANGEL. -javier

I have a 5 year old Niece and if this happened to her I don't know what I would do. I hope whoever did this dies a slow painful death. I hope when they find out who raped this child this person is put in put in Gen Pop in prison and tortured for the rest of their days. Said person is an animal and should be treated as such. I think I will go to Law School, work for the D.A. then become a Judge. As soon as I finish paying off my debt I am going to quit my current job and go to Law School full time.

A grizzly CHILD murder is news, like it or not. "News" and "sensationalism" aren't mutually exclusive.

sensationalism is taking over

Sigh. I assume you were glued to the TV following the Anna Nicole Smith developments, weren't you? If you can't tell what's sensationalist, then I have no help for you.

Just because it is bizarre means it isn't fit for news?

I dreamt last night that I was reading Gothamist before they resorted to posting every sensationalist news blip. This is terrible news. Without sounding too cold, I have to say sensationalism is taking over all of our information sources. News, blogs, whatever. It's an electronic form of rubbernecking. It's causing us all to be sheep. CNN has it really bad (ie: CNN literally has, right now and I kid you not, a TOP story called "Missing child's remains found in shot crocodile")
