A couple in Houston, Geneva Foster and Michael Ryan, were arrested for starving and abusing the mother's 13 year old son.

Police says he weighed 72 pounds and looked half his age.What kind of sentence fits this kind of people?

How do you punish a mother who starves her kid?

She deserves the Chair.

And her husband should be jailed for life, kept hungry at all times, and given enough food to keep him alive only.

I say y'all don't know the facts and until all of them have been LEGALLY proven you all shoot shut your traps!

My son has had several stitches ( over 26 ) to be exact and he's only four, and was I the one whom made those things happen, NO! 

This child is my nephew and Mike is my brother and I have been in his house several times with all my nephews and niece, and none of those kids were deprived of anything.  Donnie has an illness, which they have taken him over and over again to Dr's trying to find out what was wrong with him.

Starving him............. NO!

I agree with notaryheidi we shouldn't take things released in the press for granted. A lot of the facts are some times distorted to create a bigger spin. If for instant a mother did starve her son a punishment suitable for her would be to take her baby born away her from and raise him somewhere else. I think  ripping a child from his mother is a big of a punishment.

THANK YOU!  I have four children, and do I punish them, certainly so...... anyone whom wants to come to my house and investigate, feel free to look me up.  I work in the legal field and KNOW my brother and know what he would and would NOT do.......... Sadly I am in the Legal field and know what is going to be help place in future, I just pray for those whom pass judgement on an innocent man.   My brother is a great mix afican/cacaisian man and has ALWAYS been there for myself and more importantly ALL OF THE KIDS HE HAS ( MIND U THEY WERE ALL HIS AS HEART )!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    I hope the Lord speaks to you all cause I will be there at his hearing and I know our great Lord will be as well.

 

In the end all comes to peace, I'm a true beleiver of that!

We shall see. 1st of all you should not have mentioned his name. Second, why did the leave Las Vegas so soon? Is it becaause of the investagation that CPS was conducting?

 

Mention who's name?  Your grammar is way off, perhaps use spell check ( which is at the bottom of this page ) next time or proof read what it is you have typed Iamhe.

Secondly to answer your question which really I shouldn't feel the need to, but to satisfy you, I will.  They both got great jobs in Houston TX, hence why they moved.  CPS knew where they were moving so wouldn't one think if it was that BAD, they would NOT have allowed them to leave that state.

 Your quick to make your comment, yet, you don't know any of the facts expect the ones that are exploided all over the news, and if you read them correctly; which I'm sure you didn't, all of the media and case workers stated s!!!!everal times that they haven't even met the kids ( my niece and nephews ).  It shall be interresting when the truth comes out, and I GET CUSTODY OF THEM.

The son's name. They both did not have great jobs. I am not sure what fantasy you are living in. maybe I know more that what you think I know. Which I do. I guess their great jobs allowed them to buy that house there and in Vegas? If the truth came out, then there would be no need for you to get custody of them. They would be set free. I hope that thier Grandmother will get them.

 

First let me correct your grammar: ( it will be underlined to help you out since your not too bright )  The son's name. They both did not have great jobs. I am not sure what fantasy you are living in; maybe I know more that what you think I know, which I do. I guess their great jobs allowed them to buy that house there and in Vegas. If the truth came out, then there would be no need for you to get custody of them,they would be set free. I hope that thier Grandmother will get them.

 

Now that I have helped you on your poor grammar; I never once stated that I wanted to have CUSTODY of the children full time; just till their parents were out of where they DO NOT BELONG.  You hope their grandmother gets custody of them do you?  What do you know about their grandmother?  If all of this did take place ( which it did not ), and the grandmother was in the same CITY, woulnd't one think that she should have put a stop to the " so called " abuse.  Hmmmmm............. ponder on that one while you are trying to figure out something else to say, that has no relevence to any of this case. 

 You know nothing of these children, yet, I do. I am their AUNT, and all your facts are based upon what some person is saying ( to get a paycheck )!  Sadly this why is why kids are split up and end up REALLY being abused in foster care, due to the fact that no-one really cares about the well being of the kids and just want a pay check ( which WHEN I GET CUSTODY I DON'T WANT A DIME ) I make more then plenty to support my own as well as my family ( meaning these kids ).  People like you  just don't have anything else to do, but read about other peoples buisness that they no NOTHING about except what the press and pshciatrist have to say ( those whom no nothing/ nor have ever even spoken to the children. ( which was stated in all the articles )

 

I suggest you get yourself a book to read to suffice you not having anything else to do.
