I hate seeing kids going through these things. That boy needs to get plenty of punishment for what he did. He commited a crime that is usually only committed by adults - he should be punished as severely. It's sad that there was abuse known of in his home and no one did anything about it. That poor little 3 yr old. Where were his parents though? I don't let my daughter go out to play without me being free to stay outside or at least at a window watching and listening. I would expect to at least hear his crying.
I had some neighbors 2 summers ago where the children were in sad shape. The 8 yr old was going to counseling for being sexually molested and apparently molesting his next younger sister.
At one time when they were living here he went over to a friend's house - the mother of whom I was fairly close with. She happened to walk in on the boys in her son's bedroom, in the dark, under the sheets, and this 8 yr old was saying "take off your pants I want to show you something". She brought the kid home ASAP and spoke to the mother. Never allowed them to play together again. This boy and his two sisters had played with my child but only when I was present and playing WITH them. I never went to do my own thing. I sat there on my patio while they drew with chalk on the sidewalk or played in the yard with them. I was right there in the middle. I did not allow his to play with my daughter at all after that unless they were all there and they were all right under my nose.
This little 3 yr old would never have been hurt had he had a parent there. 10 yrs old isn't old enough to be left alone either let alone with a younger child. Both sets of parents were not as responsible as they should have been at the very least. The father of the 10 yr old should have consequences as well. He started this circle.
