Torture Death Shocks Ill. Town

“They just sat around the kitchen table and fought.”

Banished to the basement, the 29-year-old mother with a childlike mind and another baby on the way had little more than a thin rug and a mattress to call her own on the chilly concrete floor. via Longview News-Journal

Praying for Ms Dixon's young son. And wondering what punishment could you give those who have no conscience.

No doubt that those who did this are mentally ill themselves. The death sentence should be imposed on each and everyone of them. I was down right sickened by what I read they did to Ms. Dixon.

I really wish the punishment could fit the crime, and those horrid barely human scum should be put in the same basement. I for one would love to shoot each and every one of them with a pellet rifle, burn them, and torture them. After so much time, starve some guard dogs for weeks, strip all of them down, tied to posts, pour bacon grease on them and turn the dogs lose. They would be ripped to shreds. Put it all on You Tube.

These are horrific acts carried out by sick individuals. What good would the death penalty serve? They should pay society back for their crimes against it. And what about Ms. Riley's children? They were doing what they had been taught! Ms. Riley owes them as well for destroying their concepts of right and wrong, as their mother. The depravity she displayed is probably displaced from events in her own childhood which she was actively passing to her children. That's the good that can come of this. That cycle of abuse can be put to rest for the children of her children if this is handled right. Please pray for Ms. Dixon and her two children who were the innocent victims in this ordeal. Please pray that God's will be done in this. Please pray that this never happens again.

I wonder where the father of the boy and the father of the unborn baby is? Was this woman raped also?

These scumbags should be hung, drawn and quartered.

I hope when their all in prison, where they belong they get tortured just as bad, if not worse. Except, for the younger childen they were probably scared of receiving the same punishment for failing to obey their mothers others. Riley should never see the light of day again. She manipulated everyone around her, and she calculated everything from the beginning to the end trying to put the blame on someone else. Hopefully, Dixon will have closure to rest her soul.

Oh my goodness! After reading the article of the sick human beings who tortured this little sweet gal I can think of nothing else. The tears, the fear, the confusion, the pain and torture she went through absolutely breaks my heart. Everyone who did this is just as guilty as the other. They all knew exactly what they were doing and were not forced. They could have sought help, they could have not participated and they could have stopped this. Instead, they all joined in and they all should be punished. I can not close my eyes without thinking of the sweet gal and her child and unborn child. Hang those son of a bitches and torture them from days on end. And I agree, put it out publically so all could watch. they do not deserve to live a single other breathing moment.

They should all be put down. Whether it be electricity, noose or just a 38 caliber pistol. To take advantage, torture and kill someone who is mentally challenged is the most horrible and evil thing anybody could do. I think people need to start taking justice into their own hands. The police and the justice system aren't going to do anything but give them a slap on the wrist.

this story made me sick. i truly feel all of these animals should be treated the way they treated her. at 12 yrs old you know right from wrong. old enough to do an adult crime your old enough to pay . what a sick bitch to do this to a poor innocent person. i hope they all rot in hell . my god how sick is sick. these arn't even human beings. no words could fit what they are. where was her case worker? did anyone from the county check on her ? plus i heard her sister will not return any calls. is this true ?
