What punishment do you think should be handed out for the parents of Colton Work for their involvement in his death allegedly at their hands? Should Child Protection Services have any punishments leveled against them for their lack of inaction.

I think that the parents of Colton Work should definitely be severely punished for their treatment of their child and ultimate involvement of his death; it's certainly murder, and when they decided to hide his body instead of coming clean they only dug their own grave deeper. I don't think that CPS should receive punishment as severe as the boy's parents, but they should definitely make a statement about their involvement with the family and whether they dismissed Colton's case as one in which he wasn't in danger—when the truth comes to light then it should be determined whether CPS could have done anything to prevent the boy's death and whether they will be penalized for it.
