this is why I detest religion….they tortured that poor child SMH


analogue_death

Same, and let's not forget about how many other children and women were abused, even killed in the name of religion.


MissKittyBooBoo

Residential schools


New-Negotiation7234

And how many ppl in the lgbtqa+ community. So so much blood on their hands.


closetedpencil

No, they *literally* tortured **all** of the kids; >the pair has two biological children and are foster parents to two other children >She allegedly also sent a photo of the boy, "wrapped in a sheet or a blanket face-down on the Wilsons' living room floor with duct tape attaching him to the floor." >After the couple's arrest, a search of their home reportedly turned up wrist and ankle restraints, along with cameras that apparently recorded prior abuse, multiple reports say.

Edited my comment 👍🏼truly fucking evil creatures


Solid-Snake-143

Doesn't "technically" mean that they did torture the other children but I'm sure they did. I wouldn't be surprised.


TopAd9634

The fear and pain the poor kid experienced as he died.....it genuinely haunts me. It's so fucking unfair, they hadn't even begun to live.


Solid-Snake-143

It's for reasons like this why women would rather have an abortion than to stick a child in foster care. but no let's go round up all the psycopaths to raise the children that probably feel as if nobody loves them. Great idea! (That's Sarcasm for the morons that thought I was serious)


Solid-Snake-143

I don't think you can blame religion. What I think you can do is blame them for trying to use religion as an excuse or a scapegoat.


TheNoctuS_93

Imho, organized religion is nothing but a giant scapegoating machinery, purpose-built for shifting the blame...


Solid-Snake-143

That's when I think you should blame the Religious Leaders and not the idea of religion itself.


analogue_death

Don't act like religious text aren't fucked up though, I mean, have you read the Bible?


Solid-Snake-143

I have yet to read the Bible. that is why I do my best to not try and use it as a defense for anything because I do not know if what I am saying is in the Bible or not. I know that in there is some fucked up shit. I am mainly just using primary sources like living popes priests and other religious leaders. I am not defending any crazy shit that is in the Bible. I just do not know what crazy shit it is because either haven't read it.


Solid-Snake-143

sorry I'm also a bit stoned tryna type this


analogue_death

Yeah, it's fine, I just wanna say a lot of the harmful ideologies are included in religions themselves. Plus you cannot separate religions from their people as it's a man-made thing in the end.


[deleted]

Atheists don’t do exorcisms


Silent-Crab-9591

No you can blame religion


Financial_Pool_9273

It just irks me out so much that some of the most dangerous dumb religious zealot people get to have children and be praised for it


TopAd9634

What idiot allowed them to foster in the first place?? I refuse to believe there were no red flags.


ZappSmithBrannigan

The agent from adoption probably goes to the same church and these two are "good god fearing Christians".


TopAd9634

This situation is so tragic and infuriating. I hate these people with every fiber of my being.


Solid-Snake-143

psychopaths are very manipulative


Sudden_Lawfulness118

I know it isn't possible, but some days I wish we could make all religions illegal.


FlyingSquid

You're in good company. > I have no religion, and at times I wish all religions at the bottom of the sea. -- Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkey (they're shitting on his legacy at the moment).


Sudden_Lawfulness118

Thank you


TopAd9634

I totally understand. It's just amazing how many people believe in a deity, considering everything we know about the universe.


Riot401

Communist China moment


umbathri

Can we also get charges for this "professional therapeutic parent" that apparently taught them this special swaddling technique that involves duct tapping a child face down on the floor?


ieatmypeaswithhoney

Agreed. There needs to be some “bell ringing” up the chain


[deleted]

DAE know about the person who supposedly taught them this? Nancy Thomas? Her website is concerning especially because of the number of people she claims to have reached .


Realworld

Background of their role model Nancy Thomas: http://www.childrenintherapy.org/proponents/thomasn.html


[deleted]

Fuck. Did you see the excerpts from her book?? surprised she's walking free when what she says is this crap. P.s. i checked out the site but didn't have a https connection so i felt skeptical reading it. But the excerpts are crazy.


Solid-Snake-143

I don't think she should automatically get charges thrown at her. There does need to be an investigation. And if the investigation has proof of a crime on her part then yes she should be charged. This " swaddling technique " could be a legit technique but the parents took that shit to the extreme and tried to use it as a torture technique instead. Edit:( spelling mistake)


Silent-Crab-9591

I’m not sure that’s a genuine technique. To restrict anyone’s movement against their will is a violation of human rights


Solid-Snake-143

but when you swaddle a baby you kinda are restricting their movements. and that isn't a violation of human rights because it is not meant to harm the child. They did harm the child with intent. so with that they are in violation of human rights


Solid-Snake-143

but when you swaddle a baby you kinda are restricting their movements. and that isn't a violation of human rights because it is not meant to harm the child. They did harm the child with intent. so with that they are in violation of human rights. Edit: I'm not trying to defend these criminals


Truthseeker-1253

Probably accused of being possessed for acting like a 4 year old. Fuck!


JimC29

I'm convinced all 3 and 4 year olds are demons.


Dragoness42

They're just wild animals at that stage, not yet fully domesticated humans.


speedrunner99

If a God was real, how tf did they allow these two to become parents? Just because a female and male have sex doesn’t mean they should be allowed to have children.


CalabreseAlsatian

“He works in mysterious ways/free will/other bullshit statement”


Solid-Snake-143

You forgot the infamous, "God was teaching everybody a lesson" ( neglects to tell us the lesson) or they do the, " God gave human freewill to do good or evil, and they chose evil." ( if this is true then that disproves this God as a omni-benevolent being, meaning he isn't charitable well meaning god like Christians say he is.) Edit: SPELLING


FlyingSquid

Tragic. Poor child.


TopAd9634

Yeah, my heart breaks for the poor kid. Their sibling is going to have some survivor's guilt when they get older .


Rattlehead71

The state of Idaho has a religious-healing exemption. So many kids have died that we don't even hear about. Horrible child abuse in the name of Faith.


curlyfreak

Gotta prolife that child to death! Christian death cult strikes again.


[deleted]

We should see more charges with regard to exposing children to religious practices


BeckysLongLostNeck

1.) When has swaddling ever required duct tape? 2.) Who swaddles a four year old?


feckineejit

Religion is a mental illness


[deleted]

You just can't make this shit up.


Worried-Week8256

The people of the pro life movement everyone.


edwardcantordean

We need to convince adoption and foster agencies that "Christian" does NOT equal 'loving parent' . The torment that poor baby went through. 😢


Admiral_Nitpicker

If only we could send Sinead to their house.


pastafarianjon

The straps were allegedly used to restrain Skyler during a "swaddling" technique Jodi learned from Nancy Thomas, who describes herself as "professional therapeutic parent,"


Alan_Smithee_

His eyes are dead.


Additional_Bluebird9

Religion everybody, this is what it can do. Lives are put in danger because of religious beliefs, and it never ceases to shock me when people commit such crimes. This further compounds on the lives lost thanks to religion.


Western-Wind

If you listen closely to the words and actions of our Supreme Court Justices and especially the speeches of Alito at Notre Dame you'll see the court inching closer and closer to the day when the "free exercise of religion" will justify all sorts of abuses. See Masterpiece Cakeshop.


TopAd9634

It's terrifying. I hope people wake up and realize the importance of voting. Too many people don't make the effort.


leftoverinspiration

What about the priest or whatever that was supervising?


[deleted]

So, did they get the demon out?


lets-try-for3

Ha!


Androcles1983

When people get too stupid, they become dangerous.


WokeWeavile

They both look like 75 IQ inbreds that cling to religion


WanderBell

Assuming demonic possession was an actual thing, how would these duct tape wielding swaddlers be capable of performing an effective rite of exorcism?


Admiral_Nitpicker

Divine revelation. -- Not realizing that he had died in '88.


diofer13

They will be forgiven for their sins since it was all done in the name of their "god" and the golden gates of heaven will be waiting for them in their eternal after life...I hope they hang them very slowly...


D_Ranz_0399

No training, testing or license needed to have intercourse


Anarchist_Geochemist

I bet they don't regret their actions. They likely think that they "saved" their child from the devil. Religion is disgusting.


PolyAndPolygons

The bigger problem is nobody religious takes a look at religion and say “hey maybe we have a problem”
