I really hope they throw the book at these parents. So disgraceful that a child had to die for CPS to get their act together and remove those kids from that awful situation. Jarrod could have turned out so much differently if he was in a loving, competent, enriching environment. I do wish forcible sterilization was available as a last resort for parents like this.

Maybe life in prison will effectively sterilize these monsters.

From last month:

http://www.pennlive.com/news/2015/12/jarrod_tutko_sr_kimberly_tutko.html

Kimberly Tutko was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison Wednesday for the death of her disabled son and near-death of her disabled daughter...

Cherry sentenced Jarrod Tutko Sr., Kimberly Tutko's 39-year-old husband, to 21 to 42 years in state prison.

Good! It won't be anything compared to what little Jarrod went through, though

There was no shortage of tears as the Tutkos stood before Cherry awaiting their fate. County Children & Youth Services workers and even Chief Deputy District Attorney Sean McCormack wept with emotion while describing the house of horror that was the Tutko home...

Even the defense attorneys conceded the Tutkos failed miserably and inexcusably.

Chief Public Defender Bradley Winnick, Jarrod Sr.'s attorney, told Cherry it was not easy for him to separate his personas of father and lawyer and advocate for his client.

"Jarrod offers no excuses," Winnick said. "This was a catastrophic failure of parenting."...

Erika Martel, an ex-childrens services caseworker, sobbed continually while giving a victim impact statement on behalf of the children...

While all the images are horrid, one was especially awful, she said.

"You cannot forget the feces-covered stuffed bunny that was likely the only comfort Jarrod Jr. ever had," Martel said. "You cannot forget it takes a very special kind of evil for a parent to do what was done to these children."...

As he prepared to sentence Jarrod Sr., Cherry noted that last week he terminated the Tutkos' parental rights to their surviving four children. All of the kids, including Arianna, are thriving in foster care, he said.

Much more here... But I warn you, it will make your blood boil :furious:

 

[Rayemonde]

Oh, and it just gets worse. The Tutkos tried to sue the state!

The Tutkos, who represented themselves in the civil case, sought unspecified monetary damages for the mental distress they said they suffered and for being imprisoned in overcrowded conditions.

I didn't think it was possible for me to detest these two individuals any more than I already had.

Maybe they would prefer isolation in a locked third level attic full of s### and no food.

McCormack spoke of gruesome new details of the night in August 2014 when police removed the decomposing body of Jarrod Tutko Jr. from the family’s home at 2119 Green Street. He said the boy’s father, Jarrod Tutko Sr., offered a cab driver $100 to bury a “dead cat” in the man’s backyard.

That did not happen. Instead, Tutko covered his son’s body in a sheet and then bought bleach and mothballs in an attempt to cover up the smell of the decaying body.

Pretty sure he's the ONLY person who thinks he's not a monster! He and Kimberly are both horrendous human beings, rotten to the core.
