I'm still reeling from the fact that this pitiful excuse for a man had already assaulted the little girl two months previously and was not in prison for that. Such a list of failures. Why would his girlfriend leave her God daughter with a man she knew had assaulted her seriously already? Why was she even still with him at all, what woman lives with a man who beats small children? Why would the child's mother leave her little girl with her friend knowing she had such questionable decision making? I struggle to not wish the utmost ill on this individual and yeah he would be no loss to society, that's assured, but do I believe in capital punishment generally, no I don't and cases like this, strong indicators though they are for it's return, do not outweigh the negatives overall. Poor little girl :( x
