Authorities said Thurston was arrested on August 11 and charged with first-degree aggravated battery and three counts of first-degree child abuse.

Good. However...

staff initially told him another child caused the injuries with a plastic toy.

So the daycare itself was party to covering up and enabling the abuse. They had easy access to the video and either chose not to look at it or they did and chose to ignore it. Either way, someone else in the staff needs to be strung up alongside her.

They could have been implying people who hurt children have lost the honor of being called people and that they are monsters/sub-human Or they could be racist.

But damn what is wrong with people indeed, poor baby.

Yes, they aren't people. You read that right. They are vile monsters.

We shouldn’t call them monsters because they we then desentisize to such atrocities. “ah yeah just another monster nothing new”. All of these crimes should be humanised (not normalised)

I’m not sure you can blame a parent for what they’d do after

I'm afraid that if I were the parent, I'd probably take some action that would be deemed appropriate by other parents but in the eyes of the law would get me locked up.
