    its terrible that someone could beat a 2 year old to death for crying
  •  
    That would be the world we live in Jeff. The question is whether or not the girlfriend will take action against him legal or otherwise. Or if she actually knew of the abuse
  •  
    That's very depraved and someone should beat him when he cries.

    They should definitely look into that. If I had children and knew a sex offender lived across the street from that school, I would't take them there. That is scary, and it causes more people to be cautious.

    There is no point to torture old people they didn't do anything to them.
  •  
    its never about what the victim did to them. maybe its about the sense of control they get from having dominion over a feeble old mans life. just a thought

    I don't understand how people can do these types of things to children. I guess people just have messed up minds.
  •  
    It is a good thing they got caught. Who knows what else they have/would have done to the children.
  •  
    That is just mean to do that to a baby. What if someone did that to your child and they laughed will your child was in distress? You should not work in a daycare in you are gonna do that.

    "The scope of the warrant was so expansive in time and geography that it had the potential to gather data on tens of thousands of Minnesotans. The technique has caught the attention of civil liberties lawyers who worry such warrants - deployed increasingly by police in the Twin Cities and around the country - are a digital dragnet ripe for abuse, and that judges may not realize the technical details or broad scope of the searches they're authorizing."
