District Attorney To Seek Death Penalty In Barrios Case

The three people arrested in the disappearance of Christopher Barrios have been charged with murder. The prosecutor will seek the death penalty.
A convicted child molester and his father took turns sexually assaulting a 6-year-old boy while the molester's mother watched, then they choked the boy to death, according to an indictment issued Wednesday. The indictment charges all three family members with murder and child molestation in the slaying of young Christopher Michael Barrios, whose body was found last Thursday inside a trash bag dumped by a roadside.
District Attorney Stephen D. Kelley said he will seek the death penalty against 32-year-old George David Edenfield, who has a prior child molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David and Peggy Edenfield.
'This is one of the most horrific crimes that I have seen in 21 years of prosecutions,' Kelley said.
This is just further proof that child molesters never change and should not get "second chances". They should be executed or locked up for life. Period.
Ironically, the Edenfields moved into the trailer park where Christopher lived last year because of a Georgia law intended to keep child molesters away from children. Sheriffs' deputies told George Edenfield in September that he had to leave his home near downtown Brunswick because it was too close to a playground. Georgia law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools and other places that draw children.
His family went to live in the trailer park in October after George Edenfield was arrested for failing to move as ordered. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to probation March 5, three days before Christopher disappeared.
There is nothing ironic about the death of a child. Whether he was forced to move or not, George Edenfield would have found another victim. Keep your eyes open people. They are everywhere.

I retired from a school cafetria; now old and white headed. I am A victim of a sexaul predator. I AM and for the remainer of my life will be a victim. After having several lower abodominal operations to repair my injuries at the age of 9, I have lived scared and threaten nightly by nightmares. After many years of an increased rapid heart beat, the heart attack that I had nursed for many years become reality. As the cardologist prepared to catherize my heart, he had to make not one but two attempts to get through the scar tissue in my lower torso. I have been married four times.Almost fifty years half a century has passed and I am and will ALWAYS be a victim of a sexual predator.
