If you don't know who this precious baby is; it's Sylar Newton. Sylar was only 2-years-old when he was murdered in Arizona. When the story first came out it was said that he was camping with his custodial mother, her children and her mother. Someone awoke in the middle of the night and noticed that Sylar was missing. And the search began. During the time they were searching for Sylar, another 2-year-old boy wandered away from his home after a nap in the same state in the same county. Amazing as the coincidence was, it was just that, a coincidence. The cases of Sylar Newton and Emmett Trapp were not connected.
I will not go over the details of the Sylar Newton case further. You are free to do you own research as to the information that is out there in the media. I don't not know if his custodial mother, or anyone else in the family killed Sylar, so while there is much I would love to say about my feelings on that, I will refrain. I am going to try very hard to chose my words carefully for this next part. . .
This photo make me sad because to me it represents precious life carelessly lost. I believe, from what I have read, it has been determined that Sylar was murdered. Every case of a child being intentionally harmed or killed or harm or death coming to them from carelessness hurts when I read about it; Sylar's case touched me more for some reason. I think perhaps it is because I see a bit of Jack in this picture of Sylar. He's a curious, likely precocious toddler with wispy hair and new teeth. However Sylar died it could have been prevented (~likely~).
In memory of Sylar, Emmett, Johnny Doe (10/08/05, Naperville, IL), Dontrell Johnson, Jeremiah Clark, Caylee Anthony, and the far too many other precious live that have been lost.
