To Joe Stacy, my heart goes out to you on this day. I cannot understand what hell you must be going through and I pray to god that I never find out, being a mother to a 4 year old boy myself. I am sure the angels are looking after him now and that he is smiling down on you as you were obviously the light of his life and I beleive that he will find his way back to you xxx For little Ethan, god bless you little cherub and rest well xxx

Where was Sloop's family, doesn't his mother live in the same or nearby area? Like many others, I can't believe that not a single outside person saw Ethan during those four horrible days! Public funding of child custody would in my opinion act to slow the rise of these types of crimes, a Federal Law that allows parents to have an evaluation and periodic health and welfare visits (no cause needed) during cross-state visitation should be included. There are agencies that all already exsist that could possibly handle this, one that comes to mind is Community Action Partnership. C.A.P. serves different functions in different states, in Idaho for example, Adult Protection (Vunerable/Diabled) is operated by C.A.P. I am writing both Federal and State lawmakers from each and every state in hopes of finding support for an idea such as this. I must say that I personally can find comfort in knowing how much Ethan is loved by family!!!

What I want to know is why no one in the apartment complex heard anything? Come on people with all the abuse this poor child went through you cannot tell me he was not screaming in pain? I live in a complex and I know someone had to heard something and as usual just minded their own business. I feel they also let this poor little boy down.
