How do you even begin to describe the disgust? outrage?

Molester, parents charged with murder in 6-year-old boy's death

SAVANNAH, Ga. - A convicted child molester and his father took turns sexually assaulting a 6-year-old boy while the molester’s mother watched, then they choked the boy to death, according to an indictment issued Wednesday.

The indictment charges all three family members with murder and child molestation in the slaying of young Christopher Michael Barrios, whose body was found last Thursday inside a trash bag dumped by a roadside.

District Attorney Stephen D. Kelley said he will seek the death penalty against 32-year-old George David Edenfield, who has a prior child molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David and Peggy Edenfield.

It also claims George Edenfield and his 58-year-old father sodomized the boy and forced him to perform oral sex while Peggy Edenfield watched and masturbated.

These are the animals that did this:

[hobbit709]

1. If their combined IQ was in the double digits

I'd be surprised. "Deliverance" was a documentary.

[Blue_Roses]

2. i sat on my couch and

cried this morning--literally sobbed--when I saw this on CNN this morning. What trash.

Here's another thread talking about it this morning.:cry:

[CatWoman]

3. BR,

I cried too.

that little boy was so innocent and precious :cry:

[Blue_Roses]

41. what a beautiful child...

it's bothered me all day. Then there's the Elizabeth Edwards sadness. I think I'll just go to bed and pull the covers over my head.:cry: My contacts are all fogged up from the tears.

[LibertyorDeath]

4. If they were publicly executed in a slow & excruciating manner

it would be to lenient a punishment as far as I'm concerned.

There should be no mercy absolutely none for those that purposely hurt children.

[kenny blankenship]

7. As someone who is categorically opposed to the death penalty

I sure as hell wouldn't stop you from applying it in this case.

[blondeatlast]

10. You wouldn't see me holding a sign at this execution.

And I've been known to protest executions in the past.

Humanity tests me sometimes, and being human, I too often fail.

[MistressOverdone]

17. It is very difficult to hold an anti-death penalty

stance when faced with this.

I'm trying and not quite succeeding. I keep thinking of honey and fire ants.

[Raksha]

44. I'm categorically opposed to the death penalty, even in this case.

Because if you can do it to these monsters in human form you can do it to others who are not monsters.

They wouldn't live long in prison anyway. The other inmates don't have my scruples and aren't known to be charitable to child killers.

[jollyreaper2112]

51. yeah

I get what you're saying. But cases like this are actually a test of your conviction. I'd settle for life in solitary confinement with no possibility of parole.

[LibertyorDeath]

52. You mean you don't agree with the state killing someone

that killed in order to show that killing is wrong....

Yeah I know I've always had a problem with the death penalty
but some things are so far over the line the individual(s) leaves little choice

[neuvocat]

5. Call for their deaths.

[City Lights]

6. I think I'm going to be sick...

:cry:

[CatWoman]

11. I was flipping thru the channels last night and came upon this story

I was STUNNED.

At first, I thought I didn't hear what I was hearing.

What fucking low life PIGS!!!

I'm wondering if the parents didn't molest the son when he was growing up.

Nothing about these people would shock me at this moment.

[MistressOverdone]

8. Your cats don't deserve

to be on the same page.

Really, what can you say. It is beyond words. I think of my grandson ...

there are no words.

on second thought..WHAT KIND OF A WOMAN MASTURBATES IN FRONT OF HER SON?

Dear God. Well, maybe we know how he turned out that way.

If this happened in my family I know I would lose a husband, a son and a son in law because they'd end up in prison.

[CatWoman]

12. now you've done it

I have to give them a bath!!!

do you realize how much work that is???? :)

[MistressOverdone]

13. Well, it's the strangest thing

but when I saw those cretins for a second I thought THEIR eyes were blinking. I'm wearing my bifocals.

But yeah, give them a good bath.

[CatWoman]

16. Their eyes are blinking, and Trinity sticks her tongue out at you

all thru the magic of MoPaul :)

[blondeatlast]

9. This morning there were some DUers knee-jerkedly defending this vermin.

Watning--the boy's pic is in this thread, and it's a heartbreaker for certain.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x472845

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

15. knee-jerkedly defending this vermin?

You mean by calling for due process?

Whose knees are jerking?

[CatWoman]

18. now, now

calm down everybody

:hi:

[blondeatlast]

19. It wasn't you, but one of the responses made me want to puke.

He was defending others accused of child molestation in another thread.

You made a somewhat valid point, although the accused led the cops to the body.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. You mean the one in the thread you linked to?

Yeah, that's the one I'm talking about.

[trumad]

20. Actually I think there was one

and he basically said give justice a chance... I don't think he was defending them---he was just defending the system...mho

[blondeatlast]

23. Not the one I mentioned--but a response he got made me ill.

Read my response above for clarification.

[kestrel91316]

14. Well there's some white trash if I ever saw it.

[MistressOverdone]

22. This is way past white trash

Trash is too gentle a word.

And yes, they deserve due process. Quickly.

[rebel with a cause]

32. Looks like inbreeding to me if I ever saw it.

:puke:

[MistressOverdone]

37. I think you are probably right

literally. It just makes you ponder.

[kestrel91316]

46. I was just referring to the way they look. Don't get me started on what

they are accused of.

[MistressOverdone]

50. You know, I went back and looked at the pictures again

and except for the woman having no teeth, they don't look too genetically challenged, really. I mean, living where I live I see a lot of GC folks and these three are rather unremarkable.

The only word I can think of is disease, and even that is unfair to disease.

[Auggie]

24. Scary people. Sickening story.

[Journeyman]

25. We need judicial convictions of "guilty but insane" . . .

a conviction so structured that, even if the defendants are found to be insane, they remain guilty, so on completion of any hospitalization they draw they will still face the full term of incarceration their crimes warrant.

Undoubtedly, this trio's attorneys will seek an insanity defense. So be it; there's no doubt if guilty they have a host of mental problems. But such a decision should not -- indeed, must not -- keep them from the full weight of society's punishment.

If a term in a mental institute is warranted, then by all means let us place them there and work all the harder to "cure" them, to make them cognizant of the extent of how reprehensible are their crimes. And then, when they're ready to know what society holds against them and how much their crimes demand retribution, then we incarcerate them for the full term of their sentence. A sentence which, in this situation, will hopefully last the balance of their days.

[scrinmaster]

48. Even if they are found insane, or they are mentally retarded,

that shouldn't keep them from prison for life, or the death penalty. If someone can do something like this and not know that it is wrong, they don't deserve to live.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

26. Revulsion and rage

How horrible. That poor child. These monsters.

:cry: :cry: :cry: :mad: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[NightWatcher]

27. I have to say no to the death penalty, not under any circumstance

I do have two more words for them, "General Population"
The other animals on the inside will take care of this problem for us without a state sanctioned murder. See also Jeffrey Dahmer. State sanctioned lethal injection is nothing to what the rest of the prison population can think of.

[Danger Mouse]

28. Skin em alive, then dip them in salt water,

and they still wouldn't be suffering enough.
I try to be kindly and forgiving but this fills me with revulsion. The line about the garbage bag made me nauseous.

[Clark2008]

34. Better yet, let that little boys parents at them.

I would kill them with my bare hands if they did that to my son.

Excuse me while I go upstairs and hug him.

:cry:

[Danger Mouse]

35. As I suggested in a different thread...

arm the parents with baseball bats that have been rolled in class chips and wrapped in barbed wire. Stick a couple of dull and rusty nails in them for extra 'oomph' and invite them to go to work on the genitals of all involved with great vigor.
Afterwords, if the scum is still breathing, roll their filthy carcases in raw salt. Record their agonized screams as a testament to any other gutter slime that would consider doing this.

[jannyk]

29. I want them to die...

....I want them to feel fear and pain.

They are defective beyond all redemption and I want them erased. I don't give a flying fuck what 'defence' strategy they use - whether they drank or were on drugs or were abused themselves - I don't care - make them gone!!

One can only wonder how many other poor mites have suffered at their hands - this didn't come out of nowhere.

[MedleyMisty]

30. Prison for life, yeah

But I'm sorry, I can't rejoice in the thought of any living being being killed.

Flame me for sticking to my anti-death penalty guns if you want. I'll understand, unless you accuse me of not caring about the victim.

[Danger Mouse]

36. Life in prison in the general population would be worse than the death penalty for them.

They would be eaten alive. Therefore, I wholly support such a proposition.

[nam78_two]

31. I wish I hadn't clicked on this link

Nightmarish....I feel sick..
Poor kid...

[Pavulon]

33. I try not to have these discussions

because they never end rationally. Normal people have a built in urge to protect children.
Personally I support the death penalty for these people.

[opihimoimoi]

38. Where O Where is the STONING PASS when we need one....I SAY ..STONE THEM

with 10 tons of rocks the size of baseballs...both kinds....


I know.... I know...a bit over the top....sorry///was venting.....

[karlrschneider]

39. Animals don't do things like that. Those things aren't animals, much less human.

...

[MN ChimpH8R]

40. Jeebus, those are the most frightening looking people

I have ever seen. Inbred idiot hillbillies (we have the same types here up north - I am not bashing the south) that probably don't have 1000 functioning brain cells between them. This is just so fucked up on so many levels that there's really no way to get my head around it.

What a sad and awful story. They won't last long in the prison's general population.

[aikoaiko]

42. This is why I am in favor of the death penalty -- no justice, no peace

Let them have a trail and convict them.

Let them have due process to ensure a fair trial.

Then kill the fuckers.

[Raksha]

43. God, they even look evil. n/t

[alarimer]

45. There's a family tree that didn't branch very much

what a bunch of winners.

[scrinmaster]

47. Three bullets is all it should take.

EOM

[RiverStone]

54. It sickens me that our tax dollars will feed these vermin...

Until execution after they have spent 10 years on death row.

This has to be one of the most horrendous examples of sexual assault/aggravated murder I have ever ever heard.

:puke:

* * * * *


My heartfelt sympathy goes out to the spirit of that boy and to all who genuinely loved him.

[deek]

49. How does our society produce people like this?

I can not comprehend what went wrong and how, as a society, we can prevent this from ever happening again.

[lpbk2713]

53. Human garbage.

When they 'expire' just throw them in the garbage dump. Nobody will miss them.

[NorthernSpy]

55. Pa Edenfield has an old conviction for incest with his daughter...

http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/original/0307/2303_barrios2.html


Also, a friend of the Edenfields -- a man named Donald Dale -- is suspected of helping them dispose of the child's body. How can there be so many profoundly, abnormally depraved people in one little spot?


Neither George nor David Edenfield has done time, though each of them has a history of criminal convictions for sex crimes. Maybe if Georgia hadn't been so keen on locking up pot smokers and other drug users, they might've had room in their prisons for dangerous predators like the Edenfields.
