What punishment do you think should be handed out for the parents of Colton Work for their involvement in his death allegedly at their hands? Should Child Protection Services have any punishments leveled against them for their lack of inaction.

This is absolutely cruel. Oh my- my heart shattered while reading this article. Those 20 years in prison for the two parents are definitely what I believe should be their fate. This is a difficult decision I believe for these CPS workers, but the evidence is quite clear to me. And I do believe they need to be punished for not being in action over this child after it had been stated several times to them that this poor boy was being abused. There should be consequences for both of these sides of the story- the CPS and the parents.
