Every Child Needs a Mother and a Father
A heterosexual couple in Seabek, Washington, charged with murdering their adopted son.
Beyond Abuse; It Was TortureAs 8-year-old Christopher Forder lay on his bedroom floor, stricken with pneumonia, heavily bruised and nearing death, his father called a family meeting.
Inside the family’s Seabeck-area home, the father, Robert, told his seven children they had a choice: They could bury their brother in the backyard, or call 911 and risk having the state snatch all of the children away because of Christopher’s obvious bruising.
They didn’t call 911—not in time, anyway. Mom and Dad—Christian missionaries—let the poor kid die on his bedroom floor. Maybe I should have filed this under “O, They Will Know We Are Christians By… The Kids We Beat to Death.â€

Mmm th Equalities Act (yes Act it’s already been passed) furore got my goat this week too. I dusted off my bible and the only reference to adoption I could find was by an unmarried single mother (one presumes this would not fit with the Catholic Church’s ‘conscience’ either), she just happened to be the mother of Moses the law giver . . . I leave you to make up your own minds.
