Chained Child Burns To Death
A 10 yr. old girl died in a house fire in Clarksville, Arkansas, Monday....because she was chained to her bed.
A couple was charged with manslaughter Wednesday in Clarksville, Arkansas, after their 10-year-old daughter died in a fire in their house. The girl was unable to escape because she was chained to her bed, authorities said.
Police are not disclosing any information gained from the parents as to why the child was chained to her bed, citing the on-going investigation. After reading this in our local news, I suspect there's even more to the story.
Investigators believe the fire started in the front of the house, where the girl's bedroom was located, but they hadn't determined by Wednesday what caused the fire.
It's a shame we no longer burn people at the stake, isn't it?

I cried when I read that, thinking of that poor girl, trapped in her bed...those parents should face the death penalty.

I suspect when the entire story comes out, it will be even more horrendous. I agree, they should get the death penalty. But I doubt they will.
We'll see.

Yes, burning at the stake sounds like a just punishment for these pieces of crap.
