"It''s hard to think that I''ll never see her again," she said. "

Don'' worry gramma, yull see her in HEaVEn with geezus if you qualify to get there! only mother theresa and pope qualify so you might be outta luck cause you aint PERFECT.

And the right wingers want to outlaw abortion and force those babies to grow up in homes like THIS one where they parents didn''t want them in the first place but were forced to keep them.

"OMG!! Omg...how in the heck did those two beat that beautiful baby girl at..."

So, according to that, then if she was UGLY then what?

"Children are gods gift to us."

More like the devils spawn given the overpopulation fiasco, destruction of the planet and global warming.

I seriously cannot put into words how i feel, it''s a combination of GREAT sadness, disgust and burning rage.
Scum like this does not deserve to live.

OMG!! Omg...how in the heck did those two beat that beautiful baby girl at the top of the page. In fact, how does anyone beat any children? Children are God''s gift to us...they are perfect, darling...to beat a child is worse than...than ANYTHING I can think of. How could someone be so heartless? Could someone explain this to me please??

To Baby Grace:
Darling you are beautiful! I am so sorry that you had to endure such heartache and torture from the two people you probably loved and trusted the most! I really wish that you could still be here, I''ll bet you''d be giggling and running around right now. But the only reason that you aren''t is that God needed an angel as beautiful as you to brighten up Heaven! He will...does love you so much, and although none of us has ever, or will ever meet you, we do too. My heart goes out to you, RIP baby Riley.

...and as for the heartless, cruel, unethical people who did this...I hope you realize just how serious this is. I hope you realize that, just because you were...SICK, whatever you had to be to do this, you will NEVER get to see your beautiful daughter again. But from the sound of you people, you didn''t deserve someone as wonderful as Baby Grace in your life anyway.

...and lastly, to the Grandma...I truely am sorry. I cannot IMAGINE the pain that you are in...I didn''t even know the angel, and I''m hurt by all of this. Stay strong and I hope you get justice!!

Sickening. All the way around...sickening.

Thunderclash - while i was joking with you about that one point, CBS''s point was that this was another case of a violent attacker that had been exposed to a media source (WoW) where severe violence is commonplace, and has no real world consequences in much the same manner as other violent games that in some extreme cases Glorify violence and towards innocents or people who are supposed to be upholding the law. Same claim as with Movies that show the same gore and death.

CBS is just propagating a Very long term deeply researched topic where american teens/young adults get increasingly exposed to violence to the point of developing the same "numbness" to it and its consequences as those that have developed a Real life numbness due to living in those conditions such as very rough Gang lands/projects, or even more extreme other nations where death and gore are daily occurances such as palestine or Israel, or now Iraq and Afghanistan or in Africa where children show no remorse for easily pulling the trigger on others.

They clearly are not stating that All people who play violent games or watch violent shows/movies will become violent, they are taking up the suggestion that in some cases these media are the sources for the indifference criminals show to violent acts.

There are lots more people out there right now as we speak, abusing their kids or thinking about it, or about to, or kidnapping someone elses child.
It happens a few times a day in this country i''d say from the number of articles out there.

These stories can only have 1 good outcome - and thats if someone who sees this, reads it and realizes what they have been doing, or what they were about to do, is wrong and could have the ultimately bad and Permanent consequences.
Please people stop hurting those innocents. dont hurt them.
If babies cry, they need something, its how they communicate. If children make a mistake, its not with malice behind it. Talk to them. Be the adult your body says you are. Being a parent isnt just about buying her light up shoes or a cute outfit, its about coping daily with life and raising children with love and understanding. If you want to hit something hit a tree, the tree will be ok with it. No jail time for hitting a tree. No consequences to anyone except your hand.
Children are resilient, but fragile. Dont ever cross that line because you may never get back.
Please people dont hurt the kids, give them to someone else first before you do.

ov442, while I have no concrete proof to offer you,
my point is that CBS has no proof that the game was in any way responsible for the actions of the parents, and that calling the game cultish and linking it to their actions is irresponsible without proof.

[ov442]

camcam1420 - I second everything you said!

What hurts the most is knowing that poor sweet wonderful little angel had no idea why she was being tortured, what she had done to deserve such hate, pain, anger, foul words, and still loving her mommy to her dying breath if she could talk, im sure she''d have said "i love you mommy" as she died there on the floor beaten to death by that same mommy.
If i had 1 power in life here on earth, i''d use it to Adopt all the wonderful children before they were murdered by evil people, and give them love and keep them safe.
Yeah, Im not normally for the death penalty because more often than Not, they kill the wrong guy because the prosecuters just wanted to get a conviction on their records so they could become judges eventually.

But in the case of child killers that admit it, kill em both by torture. In fact - waterboard em. That seems to be the fashionable torture of the year.

[ov442]

Thunderclash - how do you know they arent? can you prove that in between warcraft games online that people you play against are not out committing crazy violent crimes? i bet you cannot prove it.

just like in the early 1980s on Phil Donahue, when that mom told everyone on national television that her son used D&D spells to summon a Grape Faygo Pop from the netherworld!!

[thunderclash-2009]

It was extremely irresponsible of CBS to refer to World of Warcraft as "cultish" and implicate the video game as the cause of the actions these parents took against their child on televised national news.

If World of Warcraft is to blame, how come the rest of the 10 million+ subscribers aren''t commiting violent crimes?

World of Warcraft has less violence than a Looney Toons cartoon, and most of it''s players spend less time playing it than most people spend watching TV. The parents were clearly sick in the head, what CBS did is equivalent to saying someone killed someone because they watch CBS''s Law and Order (which is more violent than World of Warcraft).

I scrolled back a few pages and I noticed that no one was screamng that these monsters are unfit murdering parents because they are WHITE!!!

If those horrible people happened to be black or hispanic this entire forum would be full of posters screaming that all blacks are unfit to be parents & all hispanics are illegal immigrants stealing our jobs & beating their children.

So I hope everybody stops to think about this fact the next time the news reports a murdered/raped/abused/missing child from a black or hispanic family. Everybody is so quick to judge an entire race based on colour- unless of course the colour is white. Then they are only bad people who represent themselves, not the entire race of whites!

Hypocrisy is action.

Meanwhile, in other news, a mexican man came across the border & SAVED THE LIFE of a white child! His reward? He was taken into custody by the police with no option of posting bail.

Something to really think about.

For these people to be able to live even one more day is a travesty. Baby Riley never got to ride a bike, or have a slumber party with friends. She wasnt even old enough to get a quarter from the tooth fairy. She never got to do any of the things that make being a child the most beautiful time in a persons life. Those animals stole that from her. ANd her own Mommy???? I would kill for my son and I would die if anything happened to him!!!!!!!!! My heart aches for this beautiful little angel! RIP baby girl

[vballhorse14]

I dont understand in any way how this could have to do with WOW (world or warcraft) I have played this game for a few months now and in no way have i wanted to kill or gurt someone. I dont see the harm in this game. Would you rather me a 14 year old girl be on Myspace and take the risk of someone find and or raping me~! in no way should wow be blamed. These people though this out and did this with there hands. Wow can not control there hands. They murdered that poor little girl, and nothing will change that or bring her back. As for wow you should not blame them because you have to make the choose to play this game and you should know to moniter and or limit your playing of it.

[michellem99-2009]

Amen crzmeat. In my eye they got no rights as they threw them away. I know WHAT the constutions but they willfully kill. It is higt time the child killers are killed and not sit in lock up. They holler they got rights. Nope.

[jetranger7]

OK,OK Hres what should happen, they should both be taken out to the middle of the Ocean, preferbally in SHARK Infested waters, and put in a small plastic tub, and left there, with plenty of CHUM around them to attract the Great White Sharks to the area, and let them see how it feels, they won''t make it, but it would however save the tax payers money from having to support these idiots in prision !

[Krazcarl]

Is anyone stupid enough to think they should breath..

[Krazcarl]

Your talking justice these animals beat a 2 year old to death so they could have some quiet tine fir fun and games well we should give them some fun ans games then beat them to death...

[scully152]

marksy9, Everyone (no matter HOW despicable the crime) is entitled to bail. It doesn''t make it right though. The only way someone is not entitled to bail is if they are a flight risk OR are a danger to themselves and or others. One could say that they would be a danger to others because of what they did to poor Riley, and I would agree, but sadly the courts hands are tied. I highly doubt though that they would be able to come up with even a fraction of the money they would have to come up with and I also doubt anyone in their family would help them by putting their homes up as collateral.

stevenga777, The domestic violence issue was May 31st. It said that the biological mother lived with the biological fathers family but NOT that they were an item (still together). Therefore he could have been dating someone else. It also mentioned (in another article on another news site) that there was not enough evidence and he was charged with a lesser crime. I do not know WHAT happened between the biological parents, nor do I care much, only that the biological mother took this care MILES away from a family that cared for (and about) Rileys safety...and took her to a place where she was likely scared and in constant fear. As far as the father not doing anything to keep in touch, they knew she was missing because they were told that social services took the girl away. Who knows if he tried anything after that. It was the biological mother and the stepfather that did this to little Riley, NOTthe biological father. WHY are you ''picking'' on him?
