son's body fed, in the end, to pigs

This is a story I found so utterly depraved that I cannot sidestep it. But that doesn't mean anyone else needs to... The boy was seven.

When the charges were filed, Wyandotte County's district attorney at the time, Jerry Gorman, said it was one the worst cases investigators had seen. During Monday's hearing, a police investigator - Detective Stuart Littlefield - confirmed publicly for the first time that "what was left of (Adrian's body) was fed to his pigs." Often choking back tears, Littlefield asked for a 20-second moment of silence, reflecting the length of time Adrian at one point was shocked by a stun gun during his "tortured young life."
