Tim Ferriter's son describes 'occasionally' having breakfast before school

[@theobserver2309]

Yes, amazingly stupid. It couldn't have happened to a more deserving person. Ferriter is going away for a long time. There is a precedent to be made here, and the court will make it. Otherwise pricks like him will believe that they can behave like this and get away with it for little or no prison time. I am certain that he will get a sentence that will make people think twice about imprisoning their children. It is a wicked crime and normal decent people have zero tolerance for it.

[@wordsleuth992]

Ikr It's like manufacturing malnutrition! And I bet they rationalized it in their twisted heads. Lazy & Cruel. But IMHO I'd suspect this was mostly bc their son was forced to sht in a bucket.

Timothy is acting like he’s the one listening in on this case , he is sick

[@DAnna639]

He’s an exceptionally bright boy, and going through puberty at that time as well. Depriving him of intellectual and athletic pursuits had to have caused him major frustration, working against their seeming goal to control him. He needed more outlets, not less, which makes this appear more as a way to punish him through deprivation. He had to have felt intense resentment and jealousy toward the other children. He’s going to need help to unbury all of this.

[@GaiaCarney]

What was done to this child is sick, wrong & criminal! The jury got it right - guilty!

[@soundsforyourmoods]

I have to say I think this child needs to be monitored and to go to therapy. He would kill animals, physically hurt people and express the desire to kill people. He was already showing sociopath tendencies and this punishing treatment must have worsened his mental state even more. They definitely scarred him for life..

[@d8ngdeld8ng]

As a nerd myself, I will be happy to have him as a son, mathematically gifted and very smart, yet his Father never appreciated him. Smart kids like him are often misundrstood, his inquisitive mind is far different from average intelligent teenagers. Tsk!

[@GaiaCarney]

It was not only cruel & illegal to lock this child in a room but also incredibly dangerous! It would have been a death sentence in the event of fire or other catastrophic event 😡 The parents also sometimes left the child in the locked room when the family left the premises!

[@dougntoni11111]

They had the means to get help for him and learn ways to parent successfully. He obviously has some mental issues going on. Some possibly born with and then some created by their treatment of him.

The one positive take away I get from this situation is that this young boy knows full and well, what happened to him is no reflection on him. Victims of abuse overcome the traumatic events so much more successfully when they can ground themselves in that fact. He will have some bumps as he moves forward but the indisputable facts regarding the perpetrator and surrounding himself with honest and caring people will give him the edge to go forth and have a more compassionate and meaningful life.
