Burglars Hit Ohio Home While Family Mourns Toddler
Published: July 17, 2009
LEBANON, Ohio—Authorities in Ohio are looking for thieves who broke into a home while the family of a 2-year-old was at a funeral home preparing for the boy’s services.
The sheriff’s office in southwest Ohio’s Warren County says the toddler died in an ATV accident last week. Deputies say the family was at a Waynesville funeral home with the body on Friday when their home was burglarized.
Family members say the burglars got by two dogs and broke in the back door. They took an antique gun and some jewelry.
Detectives called the break-in at the home of a grieving family appalling.

Jello,with the devestation that family is going through with the death of their child alone, I would think more compassion and less judgemental attitudes would be more appropriate.
What is wrong with people? This family is facing enough without having their home broken into.
I would like to comment but I don’t think I have anything to say that won’t be removed. I have plenty of names for a worthless piece of trash that would burglarize someone’s home, can I at least say what a waste of oxygen and a human life they are? I HATE criminals, I would wipe them all off the face of the earth if I could burglars, child abusers, rapists…let the executions begin!
umm… why was a 2-year old in an ATV accident? i’m not judging them, i’m honestly asking… do people really take their babies on those things?
good luck with your “SCUM” comment Bodie. that was a very tame word of choice! :)
Can we call them SCUM without being edited ?
