Demond Reed

There are times when I wish Minnesota had the death penalty.

When 4-year-old Demond Reed soiled his pants last week, his purported caretaker, Carla Poole, began to beat him, ordering her 4- and 6-year-old sons to hold down his arms.

That's the nice part of the story. The poor kid died, being beaten by the caretaker his father selected when he was sent to jail.

Requiescat In Pace, Demond.
