1. I'll pray that the little guy gets better and is adopted by someone more deserving
and that the mom suffers in ways more horrible than I can express.

4. That is awful.
I don't see how someone can do something like that... to an innocent child.

Praying for him...

7. To me it just shows that there is no steretype for someone that's going to abuse their baby.
That DFCS gave the baby back though is staggering.

What were they thinking?

9. UPDATE: Parents were moved to a neighboring Co. jail because they were getting beat up regularly.
Grandparents are the only ones allowed to visit Aiden but they are not allowed to speak to him.

I don't quite understand this but they say they don't want Aiden to get stimulated much at all at this point.

He is still stable though and his color is improving.

14. Maybe they don't want him
moving around very much?

That's got to be so hard though, babies wither away emotionally without being held and cuddled. :-(

Mother Charged With Abusing Her Baby
Has Already Plead Guilty Once Before To Abuse


EFFINGHAM CO., GA--A child's onesy sewn into a crib sheet; yarn, which appeared to be used to strap down a baby's legs and duct tape all found inside the home of a little boy who's story touched many people's hearts.

<snip>
10-month-old Aiden Waller is fighting for his life at Memorial Health after deputies say his mother, 19-year-old Tina Richards, abused him. However, this isn't the first time deputies have been called to check out Aiden for abuse.

The first documented case of abuse was recorded July 20th 2007. Aiden's grandmother Kimberly Kellam called the Effingham County Sheriff's office to report that her daughter, Richards, had abused Aiden. Deputies documented that Aiden did have a severely bruised right eye, that he looked to be sedated, and that he had several small bruises on his arms that were purple in color.

For Aiden
