What is the reason for this?

[SALTIRE]

What is it in two people that could make them do this to a seven-year old child who is a family member? Are they born psychopaths or something? I hope they get razor bladed daily where they are going...

Personally, I'm just glad that I CAN'T understand why they would do this.

It has to be a mental illness. Cruelty or acts of violence are one thing but sustained cruelty to a child can't be something achievable by a human without some sort of mental illness.

Irrelevant aside but Bestwood is a horrible place in my experience. One of the worst places in Nottingham.

Pretty much agree with Bish, there has to be something causing someone to carry out such despicable acts over and over again.

A very distressing read.

What I mostly could not understand on this one is they brutally tortoure a kid to death and get 8 years and 4 f*cking years!!

sometimes it beggers belief.
