I'm wondering about the godmother selection. The victim was 3 years old. A godparent is usually a very close friend. How could the mother not know anything about chosen godmother's lost of all her children in Texas for abuse? Did she know the chosen godmother had kids and if so, why would she trust her little boy to some woman who doesn't have their own children around(Very rarely do women lose child custody)? Or if the father chose the godmother, shouldn't he be aware of this?

The Daily News article says that the mother recently remarried in SC and was planning to get the son back. No idea if that's true, but that's what she claims anyway. While she's no saint, part of me thinks that the mother has some decency in her if she recognized that she couldn't care for her son and tried to put him some place that would. She just chose really, really poorly.

Those two shouldn't be held without bail, they should be held without oxygen.

This is another reason Sharpton and his cronies need to target the communities within... Start from the inside out. Not the outside in...

Fact: Addicts don't give two shits about anybody but themselves. If their kid has to be tortured to death so they can get high... well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Addicts can sometimes fake remorse (badly, like this piece of excrement does), if they think it's gonna get them something. But they feel no pity for anyone but themselves.

Obviously, the mother had no interest in this poor little boy just as she had no interest in custody of her other child. The only thing she is right about is that they all failed him.

I couldn't agree with you guys anymore. She handed this kid off like he was a dog. Argh! The whole story is despicable.

They're all responsible in one way or another. The mother, the father, the two crazies who wound up sexually abusing and killing him, the grandmothers, they're all guilty.

If she was cleaned up and working, why in hell didn't she get him back from her? Did she not even see her son on a regular basis? As I said before, the minute Kyle Smith was born, he never stood a chance in this world.

It'd be best if Cheatham and Martin demanded they themselves be sentenced to death, or just killed themselves outright. Life for them in jail will hopefully be a living hell.
