Beyond sick and tired of these demons! LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE!
What kind of monsters go out of their way to adopt a child only to do this to him? This is beyond evil.
To adopt a child and then abuse them is just unfathomable. The betrayal that Michael must have felt after he realized the people who adopted him were no better than the parents he was separated from before them is unimaginable. If this was his life you almost have to be grateful it wasn’t longer, that his pain is over; why some people are handed such circumstances while others are handed easy loving lives.. it’s just not fair. They weren’t kidding when they said life was not.
I could NEVER be a defense attorney for ppl like this ever.
Hearing his injuries made me physically sick. I’m soooo sorry this happened to you Michael! You rest peacefully now, love. They will get what’s coming to them.
It's agony to hear the details of what this poor child endured. Look at his little face. This hurts the heart.
This poor, sweet, innocent boy... He didn't ask to be born. He was rejected and abused to begin with, and THEN was abused, neglected, and brutally tortured by the "family" that adopted him??? I cannot fathom how much he suffered and endured throughout the short years he was here. It breaks my heart to think that a child has to lose their life in order to be safe. Rest in peace Michael. May justice be served.
Child services need to be held accountable as well for not checking on this child
