Baby takes 8 days to die..........................

"PEORIA - Benjamin Sargent died with his eyes open, fists clenched and strapped into a car seat after eight days without food or water, the county's top prosecutor said Wednesday.

The 5-month-old was dropped off at his parents' house on Feb. 4, wearing a bright-blue snow suit and strapped into his car seat. Eight days later, he was found in the same position, said Peoria County State's Attorney Kevin Lyons during a bond hearing for the parents, who are charged with capital murder for their son's death.

"It's the worst case of child neglect we have seen since the turn of this century," Lyons said afterward. "(On Tuesday), I told (Peoria Police) Chief (Steven) Settingsgaard that this case even rattled me."

I hope they strap the parents to chairs and make them die from dehydration and starvation. Serves them right!!!

This is where the law of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" should come into effect. Maybe this would wake up the nutballs out there thinking about hurting their helpless child.

Can't wait to hug my 3 year old in the morning.

It is a horrible crime, but what I am most surprised to read is that both the mother and father equally neglected the child.

Sick, I hope they die slowly themselves. These stories are just too much to handle.

Wish I didn't read it.
