Fort Smith investigators say a dozen dogs inside a north side home were well fed, but a baby they rescued was little more than skin and bones. Another infant showed signs of abuse.
Two month old Ricky Bruner, Jr. was extremely malnourished; his ribs were visible through his little body. His parents, Bruner and Workman are charged with endangering the welfare of a minor in the 1st degree and battery in the 1st degree. Meanwhile, two-and-a-half month old Eli Richard's brain was hemorrhaging and he's suffering from a broken arm. He also has multiple bone fractures throughout his body that are in various stages of healing. His mother Angel Richard is charged with endangering the welfare of a minor in the 1st degree and battery in the 1st degree.

I'm actually sick to my stomach after reading this horrific story.

Evil really does exist
 
They took care of the dogs BEFORE they took care of their CHILD!!!??? This makes me extremely mad and I hope the "Parents" of this poor child get what they deserve. May this child find a loving family and recover swiftly.
 
How could people do such things? It's their child for ****s sake.

This kind of **** makes me sick.
 
I expect meth was involved
 
****, that's disgusting, those people should be locked up for a long time.
 
The death penalty is too good for people like this. I believe there are times when torture is in order for some offenses and this is one of them. Tit for tat or eye for an eye take your pick,

Anyone who hurts a child has crossed a line that should allow for the worst possible treatment we can think up. Sorry I don't say this lightly but F-em.
 
creeps... take the kids and sterilize them both.

my wife an i have no problem whatsoever voicing(or displaying) our opinions to neighbors or family if we think someone is abusing their kids..
we dont call the cops, we just confront them in front of everyone..
nothing has a better effect than embarrasment and belittlement before peers.
 
The mother needs to be locked up and if she gets out to be put on a watch list, so she'll never be able to adopt kids. Also, she may need to get some psychological help.

I hope the children recover soon and find a loving family.
 
Christ on a crutch. I get all worried about how to raise my kids without screwing them up, and filth like this is walking the same planet I'm living on?

:stars:
 
Why are people acting so shocked by this? If I have my geography correct, AR is part of the southern USA and I have heard and read many times that that region is populated by barbarians.

You should always call CPS or DHS and report.

Confronting someone who might be a serious abuser will only likely push them to take their anger and embarassment *in regards to you* out on their kids when they think you're not looking anymore.

You can't anger someone who is like that and then expect them to deal with it rationally - they want to make someone hurt and someone suffer for what they feel and experience in their heart and mind and it usually is their children.

Your way of dealing with them is like throwing gasoline on a fire.

Hello - I live in Arkansas.

While, yes, a lot of people around here are ****ing imbeciles - there are people like myself and my husband who are constantly swimming against their flow and doing a lot in our lives to intervene and end such vile behavior and actions.

I live in a small town and I have the number to CPS programmed into my phone because I see **** that shouldn't happen *all the damn time*

Just the other day I had to pick a little 2 year old out of the street because he wandered away from his home while his mother was "in the bathroom" (her words, not mine) - and he was nearly killed because he was playing in the street. I called CPS immediately.

So don't run off thinking that 100% of Arkansans are psychotic abusive hecks because we aren't.

And for the record - the states with the highest child-abuse death rates are Texas and Nevada.

That is the impression one gets from the EU media or even the northeast USA media. I have also seen posts on this forum emplying that all southerners are barbaric simpletons.

Actually, I spend a lot of time in the USA and travel extensively. I've known many fine folks from the southern USA. Also know some real assholes from the northern USA, especially the northeast.

Me too. :)

I have been following this story since it broke on the local news here. I understand intellectually that these things actually happen and exist. However, I don't understand why these stories exist.
I think the default position should be that DHS tries to get kids back with their parents–EXCEPT when there's no question about it as in cases like this one.
 
this is horrific. However, it brings up an interesting question. viewing the responses from liberals in this thread I can't help but wonder what if the children were still in the womb? I mean we are only talking about a mere 8 weeks difference here. And I have seen arguments, one at least from the Obama administration that even after a child is born that doesn't rule out killing it.....So what's up in here?


Can I assume that all the regulars here are anti late term abortion?

This isn't an abortion thread nor an abortion issue AT ALL.

I forget the name of the person, but in here last year in an abortion thread, he was arguing that sentience was the determining factor....Do you believe that at 8 weeks that child was sentient?

I'm not a person who has abortion views in regard to 'sentients' so obviously that was me and I can't answer for what that other person might think in this situation. I would hope they'd be equally sickened.

No, I didn't mean to imply, if I did....not you....But it is an interesting question concerning this thread I think...Also the laws that govern that a murder committed when the women is pregnant and the child is killed in womb, the offender is charged with two, not one murder.

I can't recall if it is Sustein, and I know on at least one occasion before the Presidency Obama himself has argued that babies born to couples unable, or unfit to raise them or something like that, should be exterminated.

Very radical stuff....

Anyhow, this couple in ARK, is absolutely, and rightfully so going to prison. Where I hope that they get some hard core justice.
