Gary De Toma, Jr, 5 year old murdered, 4 year old brother attacked

Post by sitemama on Fri Jul 16, 2010 1:32 pm

Gary De Toma Jr was found dead in the bedroom with his father, when his 4 year old brother opened the door to a fellow worker of his father's. He had also been attacked, but I don't know how seriously. See the link below, look at the pictures of this precious little boy and read the comments to the right of the pictures.

Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Janet Shan

Gary DeToma, 41, accused of murdering his five year old son, Gary DeToma Jr., and attempting to murder his four year old son in his Decatur, Ga., apartment.

What would possess a parent to murder their child is beyond me. Gary DeToma Sr., 41, of Decatur, Ga., is accused of soffocating his five year old son, Gary DeToma Jr., to death and attempting to do the same to his four year old son inside his apartment Monday. He and his wife are currently estranged and he did not return the children after a weekend visit. DeToma, who is expected to go before a judge Tuesday, remained in jail Tuesday charged with murder and aggravated assault.

What a precious little boy! Why does a parent feel like it is necessary to murder the children to punish the other parent? So the marriage falls apart - GROW UP, DEAL WITH IT AND GET OVER IT!
