Update on Mila Petrov
The original article on this was written up here by Joel back when it happened. I am just letting you know the current status, since one of our readers, Kathryn, sent us an article about it. Thanks for keeping us up to date, Kathryn! The article Kathryn sent us can be found here.
I won’t go into all of the details of this one, because it’s been written about already, and you can use the link to get to it. The pertinent facts are that Mila Petrov and her husband Carlos Beltran were arrested for the murder of their 5-year old daughter Melanie Beltran, in March of 2007. The death blow was caused when the child was beaten for throwing up her dinner. I guess we all know how effective beatings are in making sick children well again, don’t we?
Anyway, the prosecutors had asked for the death penalty, but Mila managed to walk away with only 39 years for the murder of her child. I guess that’s more appropriate than what Carlos got – he only got 20 years. The defense played the “she was an abused child herself” card, and it seems to have worked out for her, since she avoided the electric chair. I won’t even go into what I think of people who blame their abuse of their own kids on what happened to them as children. Most of the regular readers on here know already. It’s a crock of B.S.
So, Carlos will be walking the streets in less than 20 years, and Mila in less than 30, more than likely. But Melanie will not receive a parole from her sentence. She will still be dead. I just hope the DNA donors will be locked up long enough that all of their remaining children will be grown and gone before these two animals are allowed out of their cages.

Mila Petrov is probably living better than she ever has in her life. Your taxes go to pay for 3 meals a day, a bed, clothes, laundry, $15.00/month to buy what she wants from commissary. She attends school, but cannot read. That’s her assignment – attending school. Will her children become abusers? They will unless they have a LOT of counseling. If you can volunteer time to become a mentor, to help a child in some way, you contribute much to this world. Sure, everyone would like to see people like Petrov and Beltran suffer, but they WON’T. They evidently have no conscience. So it’s up to those of us with a conscience, to do what we can to prevent a child from growing up to be like them.

At least in 20-30 years their other children will be adults capable of defending themselves, including the baby born the day Melanie died. They both deserved death though.
