The court really should’ve done background checks. This is evil.
Poor kid. I pray the little angel is at peace.
The kid’s older brother seems just as evil as the guardians. Even if Damian (what a fitting name) complied with his “duties” out of self-preservation, he didn’t have to roll the log on Ethan’s chest and make him sit buried in a snowdrift.
The fact that Ethan froze to death also indicates that he was likely under-dressed or even naked as well.
I hope the surviving, unnamed twin is safe. The court has a lot of explaining to do. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Judge was a Fundie themselves.

Don’t worry, they’re headed for Hell.
Whenever one calls it, be it Hell, Gehenna, Tophet, Tartarus, Diyu, Naraka, The Void, The Abyss, The Gory Gig Underground, The “Other Place”, Basement Cat’s Basement, etc.
I feel it’s real (albeit temporary and purgatorial because The Almighty is not a monster! Universal Reconciliation FTW!).
Although I deeply support prison reform and stuff, I stuff think that what is about to happen will be something that is deserved.
I hope Ethan’s twin is alright and the court actually puts an effort into background checks and gets him a decent home and Damien gets both Juvie and a good shrink!
As for Ethan, he’s in Heaven, at peace.
We need to demand a program of strict psychological/personality tests and background checks and regular parenting classes for prospective foster parents, because some are only in it for the money.
