Made me sick just to read this.

What concerns me is that a person doesn't just do this one day to the next. There were obviously prior incidents and there is a reason the boys did not want to go and visit their father.

No one paid attention to what was going on and I wonder if the grandmother knew of anything that went on before this tragedy.

I mean..what possesses a father to think that denying a child water for days is an appropriate punishment....EVER?

Sad.....

This just makes me want to cry. And the poor brother will have to live with that the rest of his life.

Wow. Let's deny "dad" water for a days.
