Man admits starving and abusing 2 children

Why do they let so many child abusers plead? If we threw the book at these abusers, they might think twice before doing it.

People...People...Understand that the court heard from Sekoa and he pleaded guilty and yet you talk he should serve more time...He is human! Do not be a wild caveman and run your mouth like he is a bad person! Yes, you are entitled to open opinion but say what you mean. Sekoa should be merited for his honesty and confess for the pain he inflicted and see the many eyes of his family crying for him that he admitted. Now he is looking for redemption for the sins he has committed. Blessed Sekoa, I will always support for Sekoa for the great deeds you did for the family and friends. I do not want to hear negative but hear positive and sweetful sounds for him while he will be on the other side of the wall, away from his closest siblings and loved ones that looked up to him. I believe in you, Sekoa . We all loved you. Thank you Sekoa for showing through example of the word "Family" means and everyone, including me, will you keep you in our prayers.

Where is DCFS in all of this, or maybe they were, still it is is sad

What did they weigh? | 8:06 a.m. Dec. 12, 2008

They've already doubled their body weights? In two months? That seems impossible unless they weighed 20 pounds to begin with.

The statement made by the writer is exaggerated. In regards to everyone having a fit about the charges, the man pleaded guilty. The sentencing hasn't even been given so why are the above posts having an issue right now. Wait until his sentence has been given.

You are right. Sekoa is not a bad person or a wild caveman. He is an animal who abused and tortured children. I hope he rots in prison for a long, long time.

In another article I read, the article stated they weighed around 35 lbs. each. when they were found.

Why don't they ration his food as a punishment...
