An Oregon woman has been convicted of fatally beating her young son in a homeless shelter just days before his 4th birthday.
The Oregonian reports that Jessica Dutro, 25, has been found guilty of murder, murder by abuse and second-degree assault in the death of her son, Zachary Dutro-Boggess. The verdict was unanimous.
Prosecutors say Zachary died on Aug. 16, 2012 of blunt-force trauma to his abdomen and a delay in medical treatment, according to reports.
Court documents cited by KATU and other media outlets described a series of Facebook messages between Dutro and her boyfriend, Brian Canady, in which she said she believed Zachary was gay. Using an anti-gay slur, she suggested Canady, 24, "work on" her son: “He walks and talks like it. Ugh.”

Are you kidding me? We beat 4yo to death because he walked and talked like a gay? Sadly there are still way too many people with twisted and hateful views about gays but to kill a 4 year old because he walked and talked like a gay is just insane and I hope she gets locked up for life for her crimes.
Hate crimes should be punished way harder than regular crimes especially if it is against children like this child. Who on earth thinks a 4 year old "walks and talks like a gay". The anti-gay community should feel guilty for how they demonize gays. They fuel the fire against gays by spreading their vitriolic hate against anything that even whiffs of gay/homosexual.
Interesting how the outrage seems to be focused on "gay" instead of on simply the fact that these people beat the life [literally] out of a 4 year old.

I wonder if the daughter is gay, too, as she was also beaten regularly...
It didn't seem the mother needed much reason to beat her children. The action is wrong regardless.

It is futile to discuss the "reason" a mother would kill her four year old child, because her brain is fundamentally broken.
That is why she allegedly murdered her child so why would it not be focused on? If he had been killed for any other ridiculous reason it would also get attention/be focused on.
My friend used to be a big city cop. The stories he would tell were awful. Junkies putting their crying baby into a microwave and cooking the kid.
Nope, I don't see how a hate crime motivation is relevant here. The issue is that a mother killed her baby.
If she had killed him for any other reason, you wouldn't have created a thread about it.

If the reason had been as ridiculous as this one I might have. But she did not kill him for any other reason but for this reason.
Maybe her considering her 4 y. o. child tro be "gay' would have been a marker.It is futile to discuss the "reason" a mother would kill her four year old child, because her brain is fundamentally broken.
Is there a non-ridiculous reason for killing your child?
Ugh, remember that California woman who microwaved her baby a few years ago? Then there was that one in Ohio who did it, and I recall a few more stories.
Not that it's any worse than ANY form of killing your child.
Any woman who would kill her child for any reason deserves to burn in a fiery Hell.

Yes, there are things that are maybe just as senseless but understandable, for example a mother who is having a postnatal depression who is overwhelmed and beats the child from which it dies. It may be senseless if a father hits his child because it keeps crying and he is at the end of his temper. Not OK but it can be understandable when someone does something in the heat of the moment. It may not affect the punishment but when you beat your child because he walks and talks gay at age 4, then you are doing with a certain degree of premeditation.
A mentality deranged person is not possesed by the devil. Why would god comdem her to hell?

I don't believe in God so I can't answer that.
I believe in Hell on Earth.
