Associated Press on Parents beat daughter to death with umbrella:
An 11-year-old girl's parents tied her up in the garage, starved the child and beat her with an umbrella until she died during the Thanksgiving holiday, police said.
The sixth-grader tried to escape her home in Stockbridge just south of Atlanta, but she was only punished more severely — she was left without food, water, a bathroom or a bed, police said.
The first thing that comes to mind when you hear about something like this is – why would someone do such a horrible thing to a child. You know what? I don't even care why they did it. Should the parents be convicted of this atrocity, give them all the punishment the law will allow. And then some. I'm beyond caring about why, I just want what little justice the system will provide for this child.
There isn't a punishment severe enough for what these two did to that little girl. Just plain evil.
