From The New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/28/nyregion/28KIDS.html)
Bruce Jackson was found rooting through his neighbors' garbage, so weak from starvation that he could not open the Tastykake that the shocked couple had given him out of pity.
Two weeks later, investigators and neighbors are still trying to make sense of two sharply contrasting realities: four adopted youngsters starving in plain sight and a family that was widely seen as loving and deeply religious.
That apparent contradiction ...What? Huh? I stopped the tape right there because I don't see any contradiction. Does anyone think you need to be "religious" to know that you should feed the kids? Does anyone think that to be "religous" precludes sick, sadistic, bizarre treatment of children, rather than, potentially, the opposite?
The parents drove the 30 miles from their home here to the Come Alive New Testament Church in Medford every Sunday. Love that one. Come Alive, but barely so, of you're adopted.
I hope they find a Hell-on-Earth for these people to occupy, since the Hell-hereafter they fear is just another delusion.
