I don't know if they even make millstones big enough to hang around the necks of those who kill their own children. Rest in peace, little Ethan.

Sloop is accused of murdering his 4-year-old stepson, Ethan Stacy.

Well - I have to say that I am not normally in favor of the death penalty however in Nathan Sloop's case I will make an exception. I hope justice is quick!!

How horrible for this little boy and so many others like him - it's absolutely unfathomable that the people who are supposed to love you more than anyone else in the world, and protect you, and take care of you, can harm their own children like that. I would not want to be in their shoes when they have to stand before God and answer for what they've done.

That little boy mother supose to protect him from monsters, not to be the monster, i feel bad for his father, i wish all demons like these people should some how become visable before things like this happens. God Bless You Ethan

If the news is correct about what his step father and mother did to him, I think they both deserve the death penalty, that is sick what they did to that little boy

The death penalty is too easy. They need to suffer and suffer majorly for what they did to that sweet little boy.
There is a very special place in hell for people like them.

May God have mercy on your soul, It would be better that you tie a millstone around your neck and be thrown into the ocean than to cause even one of God's children to harm.

Heinous. Absolutely heinous. Why wasn't Stephanie's picture posted first, so we could see the "mother" of this child and her inability to love, care and protect him?

Question: why can't criminals experience cruel and unusual punishment when they themselves committ cruel and unusual crimes? I know the constitution is important but did our founding fathers foresee these types of disgusting and dispicable crimes like murdering your own children?

Being a father myself, my heart breaks for Ethan's dad.

this makes me SICK!!! The little boy didn't want to go so WHO FORCED HIM TO GO????????? I would say there is some criminal negligence law suits that will be filed perhaps with the state that forced the little boy to go.

This poor kid - he deserved a better mom than he got.

Why did the divorce court mot take in to consideration what Ethan wanted when making decisions on custody? It seems pretty obvious that Ethan did not want anything to do with his birth mother. Maybe in his still innocent state he could discern how she was evil? I think that nothing short of the death penalty-for both Nathan and Stephanie-would be enough to serve justice. Of course, no matter what, they have a punishment waiting for them after they die.

As for Ethan, may he rest in peace. And may God bless his father to find peace somehow. I cannot begin to imagine what he is going through right now.

Little people are the epitome of innocence. To slaughter an innocent child is nothing more than pure evil. Of course we don’t know all of the facts, but it sure looks as if evil has reared its ugly head in our community.

east coast mom

my heart is breaking for his family that loved & wanted him...
my anger is white hot at the people who killed him...
and the Spirit whispers to me that he is safe and well in His Father's arms again...

My Condolences to Ethan's Father Joe...My heart goes out to you!

Bless you Ethan...Sweet Little Boy...I'm so sorry!

Why do we hear about these type of case way too often? Hearing this saddens me...I don't understand how people are capable of this?!

Check out the history of inmates who have abused and or killed little kids. He'll be tortured alright. She may not be tortured like he will, but I promise she'll live a life of hell after this.

Ethan is done here. See ya later little guy. Enjoy your rest that you so completely deserve.

Their wedding website said "match made in heaven"

More like match made in hell!

Two words - GENERAL POPULATION!

Evil is not a strong enough word for this so called mother. Hopefully these two will get swift justice.

There are no words ... they all just fail me.

My sincere condolences to Ethan's father and family who are hurting right now. God be with you.

Ethan - rest in peace, you are now with God.

As much as I would like to state my opinion about the vessels that had no respect for a child's life, I will not. I want to focus on Ethan's dad, this man is going through such a terrible trial, it is a horror that no parent should experience. He needs all the love, prayers and support he can get. Use this place to reach out to Ethan's father and other family and make this a place of peace for them. Don't waste time on those who don't deserve it, they will never read this. But to Ethan's dad, that little boy just looks like he had a wonderful spirit. If you do not believe it now, I hope you will come to believe that you will see your son again and that he is in a good place. I hope you will be able to find peace and comfort during this tragic time. I do not doubt that this sweet little boys spirit will be near you and love you while you grieve, he wants you to be happy and to move forward in a positive way. God bless you dad.
