According to this article, Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child's body and will be booked with first-degree murder of Ja' Shawn Powell, his son. This man was angry over having to pay child support for Ja' Shawn Powell. "He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support," which he recently had been ordered to do, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said. Riley said he did not know the amount of child support and would not describe how the boy was killed, saying the coroner would do that after the autopsy was complete. The coroner's spokesman did not immediately return a call. Platt's story never really added up according to the police making him a suspect from the very beginning. His story went like this: three men with dreadlocks and AK-47 rifles had piled out of an SUV and kidnapped Ja' Shawn shortly before midnight Friday. Personally I think the story is not believable at all and supposedly so did the police. Eventually Platt confessed and told the police where to find the body of his two and a half year old son. Riley said that the mother is in a safe place and it seems like everything in this case is finally figured out.I think that if someone can kill their own son just to avoid child support then that person should never be allowed to be back on the streets again. If you are going to kill someone I think it would be a smart idea to think of a good alibi for yourself so you can get away. Instead Platt comes up with a movie scenario that is hardly believable in my dreams. It just shows how stupid someone can be to not only kill his son to avoid a monthly payment but to also come up with an unrealistic cover up. Times are hard as of now but not that hard. I mean I am not Danny Platt and not in his position so I guess I don't completely know his situation. I am just a high school kid still living with his parents in Minnesota. Things just seem to be getting worse the stories in the news just seem to be getting more intense as the days go by. I just don't get it. I hope our country can pull together and fight out of these horrible times. I guess that is just how the cookie crumbles for some and for others the cookie is still intact. Hopefully mine stays intact. (And is M&M... they're my favorite)
