RIP Christopher Barrios

I question why they waited a whole year to make this story public nationwide but either way, I hope justice is served for Christopher. RIP babyboy.

-------------------

This is the story:

BRUNSWICK, Ga. — Six-year-old Christopher Michael Barrios was laid to rest Thursday, a day after a convicted child molester and his family were indicted for sexually abusing and killing the Georgia boy.

According to an indictment issued Wednesday, convicted child molester George Edenfield and his father took turns sexually assaulting Christopher while the molester's mother watched, then they choked the boy to death.

The indictment charges all three family members with murder and child molestation in the slaying of Christopher, whose body was found March 15 inside a trash bag dumped by a roadside.

District Attorney Stephen D. Kelley said he will seek the death penalty against 32-year-old George David Edenfield, who has a prior child molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David and Peggy Edenfield.

"This is one of the most horrific crimes that I have seen in 21 years of prosecutions," Kelley said.

Christopher went missing for a week before police found his body about three miles from his trailer park home outside Brunswick, a Georgia port city 60 miles south of Savannah. The suspects lived in a mobile home across the street from the boy's grandmother.

The indictment contains grim details about the case that police and prosecutors had not previously revealed. It says Christopher died from asphyxiation March 8 — the day he was reported missing — after the suspects choked him while "ignoring his complaints that they were hurting him." The indictment does not say which of three caused the boy's death.

It also claims George Edenfield and his 58-year-old father sodomized the boy and forced him to perform oral sex while Peggy Edenfield watched and masturbated.

"They deserve the worst, for them to torture my son like that, every last one of them," said Mike Barrios, the slain boy's father.

A friend of the Edenfield family, Donald Dale, was indicted on charges of concealing a death and tampering with evidence. Kelley said Dale did not become involved until after Christopher had been killed.

Nathan Williams, the attorney for 57-year-old Peggy Edenfield, declined to comment Wednesday. Attorneys for George and David Edenfield did not immediately return phone calls.

Glynn County police arrested the Edenfields four days after the child vanished while playing alone outside. Police Chief Matt Doering said all three suspects confessed to playing roles in the boy's abduction.

Police have said Dale admitted to investigators he helped the Edenfields dispose of Christopher's body.

Other charges against the Edenfields include false imprisonment, cruelty to children and enticing a child for indecent purposes.

Police have described George David Edenfield as mentally slow, but not retarded and capable of understanding right from wrong.

Ironically, the Edenfields moved into the trailer park where Christopher lived last year because of a Georgia law intended to keep child molesters away from children. Sheriffs' deputies told George Edenfield in September that he had to leave his home near downtown Brunswick because it was too close to a playground. Georgia law prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of schools and other places that draw children.

His family went to live in the trailer park in October after George Edenfield was arrested for failing to move as ordered. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to probation March 5, three days before Christopher disappeared.

George Edenfield was required to register as a sex offender after he pleaded guilty in 1997 to molesting two boys, ages 7 and 9. Prosecutors said he rubbed his clothed body "in a sexual manner" against the boys, who also were fully dressed. He was sentenced then to 10 years on probation.

His father, David Edenfield, pleaded guilty to incest in 1994. He was accused of having sex with an adult relative who was not his son.

I agreed with you LCbabieee, I had just moved from Georgia when I heard that the story 1 year ago. I feel the same way as you. I'am starled and flabergasted! I'am 55 years old and am still asking the question Why?? And these animals had a soul.. & yet, the courts allow them to victimize another child while they await trial for the murder of Christopher.

We can ask y Chris Barrios, Adam Walsh, Caylee Anthony, Jon Benet Ramsey, Jennifer Hudson's nephew were killed, Black slavery, the Holocaust, Sep 11th & the Iraq War, I conclude it's bcoz human beings r primal animals seeking dominance.

Most people think in terms of good & evil, these things can be subjective. I think the bottom line is dominance & submissiveness. They dominated a child, u & society want 2 dominate them.

The bible is an attempt 4 man 2 make sense of the world around him

I will tell you why. The homosexual movement is trying to hide the fact that Homosexuals reproduce themselves through pedophile behavior. Homosexuality is a vampire-like dysfunction. The molesters father abused the Molester when he was a child and now he became the molester of this little boy. The homosexual movement lies to youth by saying that they are born that way so that these twisted sex ed teachers and homosexuals can abuse them too. Perverts are using Youtube videos to draw them in.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart because you give this innocent liitle boy a voice! Hugs

@debgirl12000 I have to admit, I'm still not over this. I try to find updates periodically about these spawned-of-Satan-inbreds. Maybe because I don't understand how a woman can actually watch a child suffer so violently and actually masterbate at the same time. Maybe because I don't understand a father and son sharing in the sick pleasure of this torment. I've never been an advocate of the capital punishment, but cases like this have changed my mind. ALL involved should be executed.

@eldiablov2 What little Chris' father did, is no comparison to what those animals did to his son! He is nohting like the monster who murdered his son! Torturing and raping a little boy is inhuman, inhumane and despicable! Little Chris did nothing to deserve the torture that he endured from those MONSTERS! No one does! They used him like toilet paper and threw him away like he was a piece of garbage! All four of these creatures deserve to be shot in each eye and then thown in a lions den!

[debgirl12000]

@gingerbread1231 One of the most horrific stories that I have ever read in my 48 years on this earth! I am still in shock over this story! SMH! The sub human vermin team of father and son, tortured and raped this little boy in every way imaginable! WTF? Then the son's mother watched this go on as she masturbated? What kind of woman who calls herself a mother would SIT THERE AND LET SOMETHING LIKE this happen to a child? They all deserve to be dropped from an airplane into an alligator swamp!

[gingerbread1231]

One of the most horrific stories I ever heard. It still brings me to tears. A father and son animalistcally torment, rape and kill this child......while the mother and wife masterbates and watches? An entire family of sickos. The justice system failed Christopher by letting these animals back on the street. RIP Little Christopher. You will always be remembered.

[eldiablov2]

Something else worth noting is that Christopher Barrios' father was also a convicted sex offender, and as a result he was forced to live across the street from the Edenfields. Now his fathers conviction was harmless(consensual sex with a 17 year old girl), so why is he being lumped in with someone like George Edenfield? We need to look at our laws, and focus attention on keeping these animals off the street, not the harmless offenders. Who knows, maybe then this could have all been prevented

Demons! I would kill this guys! All i can say really is the Devil is busy. Mother must have a really evil spirt in her.

Oh gosh I remember when I first heard about this...I dropped some tears; it relly hurt me to my heart... RIP Mijo.

did you know little children blackmale adults for sexual gratification? Did you know that ever thing people use as evil used to be seen as something evil by the church like being left handed, of being deaf and the list is as long as the laws writen like sex laws that protect or serve no one but the people that get rich by use of these worthless laws? Just being a kid is not an excuse for helping push stupid laws.
