CSI and a nine year old
Sam loves watching CSI. He’s very intrigued by the science of the show but it raises many tough questions that I have to scour the internet for answers. Tonight’s episode included a rather graphic representation of a burn victim who had third degree burns all over her body. We got to talking and I told him about David Rothenberg, the young child burned by his father when I was only 5. I remember it so well because David was basically my age and I watched the movie on TV. When you think of becoming a parent, you don’t ever think of how you’re going to explain the unexplainable. How do you explain to your children that some parents not only try, but succeed at killing their children? Thankfully, David Rothenberg lived. And maybe his father will finally get more than the seven years he served for David’s disfigurement. While searching the net, I found this regarding a Charles Rothenberg’s possible life imprisonment.

I have often wonderabout David and his mother Marie. I can’t imagine the pain and sorrow they both had to deal with since David was burned. I hope he is doing alright and I am curious to know how is is today.
