Next on Buzzfeed Solved…
Has it been established who had custody of joseph at the time of his death?
When you watch this and have a 4 year old kid it hits extra hard. 😢
Many people good hearted would of took this child ,
I’m 61 and I always wondered growing in back my mind who could do such a thing
It happened before my time coming into this world but I would have been glad to take a child like this and raised him, even he had mental disabilities
Cruel .. parents did this they have to answer to God !
Joseph Standing with God and parents show up ?
I don’t know how God would handle this ?
I remember when I first found out about the case and I felt so miserable seeing hte images since it was obvious that the poor child was beaten…..
That's really sad man
I knew him in his next life. His name was Barry Alan King.
He was the illegitimate child of Tex Watson.
He had a chance in this life, despite what those Manson cult members did to him as a child.
He chose to repeat that pattern.
I did not.
Siblings must know something…if they are willing to talk.
This is gonna b a for sure memory because I was intrigued by this story for the past 10 years!!! The cause of death is sick n I also believe the parents did it because they didn't file a missing person report nor came forward to claim his body
Id love to see a picture of him when he was alive 🙁
It's somayya the sister of the boy who is so strong and challenging and hv a bright future and u don't believe what I loss everything just like him he was 39 only a lawyer as well as the police man and that happened to us the hospital named gambat hospital in gambat city Sind Pakistan
Even though it's not doing anything for me coz he will never come back but I want it for the brutal doctor who do to him and make me dead like him the happiness gone from my life and him every thing taken away
They just do endoscopy and they do it for 4 times and the 5 th he passed out I still don't know what was the disease that cause him to the death he's a brother 10 days and his life done and I don't think that time cause his condition was so critical but there was no treatment given when he have every right to live
I don't know this brutal doctor do to kill him Its been 4 months bleeding starts at the month of August 23 and the doctor checked nothing but try everything to make it worse he worked in the police
Want some help it's a cry for help my brother died in the hospital with the doctor and the whole staff mistreated and killed him his name shahrayar and it's sukkur Sind Pakistan when misleading us and no one tell why what happened how he died
For the killers, we can only hope that the almighty punished them.
As a Hindu, I believe in reincarnation.
Let's pray that in his next life, he must born to the child of a loving family who can shower him with all the love they could give him.
Har Har Mahadev!!
Most like the parents or some other family member of this boy killed him, especially with the discovery of older bruises.
I have followed this case for years and it always bugged me they could identify who he was. So happy that piece was finally solved
Aww poor boy 😢
I'm glad that this poor baby finally got a identity I remember seeing this on I believe BuzzFeed unsolved. I hope the people who did this baby wrong is burning in h3ll
@watcher
It’s obvious the parents had a temper and ig went to far
This is my city bruh. Thats crazy
Say his name loud
Joseph
JOSEPH
JOSEPH
JOSEPH
Wasn't this the little boy that they thought may have been a baby farm victim?
Those living siblings probably didn't know they had a brother. How sad. Couldn't they do blood analysis even back the the 50's? They knew blood types back then…
