Boy Adopted by Cop Who Saved Him From Murderous Dad

At just 8 years old, Ronnie survived being stabbed 20 times and set on fire by his father, who was later convicted of murdering the boy’s mom and sister. When he was recovering in the hospital, he got a visit from Hillsborough County Sheriff Mike Blair, and Ronnie asked Mike to watch a movie. Danyel Blair, who became Ronnie’s mom, says that she’d already known that they wanted to take Ronnie home with them that night. Five months later, the Blair family grew from seven to eight when they adopted Ronnie.

​@@CircussCakeTrue. I still think it's sometimes good to remember horrible cases like this one to get out of a spiral of self-pity. It doesn't minimise the pain you're going through yourself, at least it isn't supposed to, it just broadens your perspective every now and then. Not as in saying "what I went through isn't all that bad", but as in "look, other people suffer too and stay so strong. I'm not alone and I can be strong too."

This is an old comment but I want to provide the following reference: The 6th Amdt. to The U.S. Constitution provides the absolute right of the accused to cross examine witnesses against them. Its a fundamental tenant of due process.

And he had to be asked if he would testify,based on what the sob did,I imagine the child was asked if he would be ok to testify against his dad. And he did and now his dad got life in prison.

Without children's testimonies a lot.of the time scumbags get off because the witness is too young or too scared due to age. This child was brave and deserves his flowers !

But he was accused and charged by the district attorney on behalf of the jurisdiction, not by the young child he stabbed repeatedly sweet on fire or the wife and daughter he murdered. There was more than enough evidence to try him without subjecting a victim to that circus.

crazier is the court giving him access to doing that like what that boy went through wasnt enough... mind blowing

[@ruthgiles8926]

It is appalling that the legal system allowed that to happen! The monster should never have been allowed to torture his child further in court after what he (the child) had been through. He has so much strength and courage to stand up to his bully of a father after such a terrible life and traumatic experience. I hope though, that it helped him heal from the terrified child to the more confident young man he seems to be now. I hope he is able to conquer the horror he has experienced in his formative years with the help of his loving adopted family. He has a hard row to hoe ahead of him.

[@trav3824]

I'm sure he's much happier and safer now that he's with a family that loves him and that monster is behind bars. Of course, that won't erase the trauma and pain caused by that incident, but he will slowly and surely heal, especially surrounded by so much love now.

[@TheTardisDreamer]

How is it legal, never mind ethical, to allow a monster to not only represent himself in court, but to "cross-examine" the victim! His own son!! To demand of the child he'd stabbed and burned and almost killed, "How did I hurt you?" SERIOUSLY????
