The most recent update I've seen was back in January, when Larry Williams violated his court order and was subsequently returned to Skagit County Jail. The blog <a href="http://whynottrainachild.com/" rel="nofollow">Why Not Train a Child?</a> continues to follow the story under the tag <a href="http://whynottrainachild.com/tag/hana-alemu-williams/" rel="nofollow">Hana Alemu "Williams"</a>; I expect there will be an update when the case goes to trial.Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-55638311439960640712012-04-19T13:37:10.066-07:002012-04-19T13:37:10.066-07:00Has there been any update on the trial?

I really don't want this story to fade away, as Hana deserves better than that, even in death.Steve Rainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02945285199244792143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-73181382900831690502011-11-19T10:11:16.440-08:002011-11-19T10:11:16.440-08:00Hollie, I often wonder myself what would lead a pa...Hollie, I often wonder myself what would lead a parent to embrace such a mindset. One thought I've had is that in our culture, parents are instructed to ignore their instincts from the moment their child is born. Many are discouraged from breastfeeding, from feeding on cue, from keeping their baby close to them, and so on. They are given all sorts of dire warnings about spoiled and rebellious children. With a foundation of such fear and a habit of ignoring the parental instinct, perhaps it is not surprising that as the children grow, the parent would turn more and more control over to the instructions of these "teachers", continuing the ignore the instincts that would prevent them from embracing such horrific ideas.<br /><br />It remains, however, both unimaginable and tragic.Hippie Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718357472343295031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-58451047473222474532011-11-11T14:17:37.609-08:002011-11-11T14:17:37.609-08:00These teachings are just horrific.

Who in their right mind could give a three year old (or any child) a cold shower, starve them and force them to use the bathroom outside? I just don't understand how a parent gets to that mindset at all. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051258436941012775.post-79665889595563674762011-11-09T07:16:52.264-08:002011-11-09T07:16:52.264-08:00This is sick and so, so sad.

It's disgusting. I tried talking to my husband about it, and we couldn't even continue talking about it for more than a couple minutes. It puts such a bad taste in your mouth just thinking about it. My son is three days shy of 6 months old, and I can't see how anyone can manage to beat an infant (with a switch, I think he called it)that small. Or any child for that matter, but 6 months old, when they are not even sitting up by themselves yet, it is just disgusting.Edenhttp://www.edensadvicegarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
