80s_Fan · 09-20-2005, 01:23 PM

I would like to know if anybody out there has any update on the whereabouts of "David Rothenberg"? Here's his story which really happened.
________________________________________________________________

On March 4, 1983; "Charles Rothenberg" deliberately set fire to the bed where his six-year-old son, David, lay sleeping. Although "David" did not die, his burns covered 90 percent of his body and left him severely disfigured.
Rothenberg admitted his guilt and spent seven years in prison.

I would appreciate any update on "David" and the rest to see how they are doing today and everything. Thank You!!

Unfortunately, I don't know

Have you tried the Unsolved Mysteries board? They might know a little bit about it ( I go there once in a while--love that show!) Sounds like a sad case

I don't know about poor David, but his father is still getting in trouble.

Man Who Burned 6 Year Old Son Feeling The Heat Again

Charles Rothenberg, who was convicted of and jailed for setting his son on fire, was "convicted Tuesday of weapons charges and could face imprisonment for life." He "had admitted possessing a loaded .38-caliber revolver and dozens of rounds of ammunition, which are felonies for such a convicted offender."

He only spent 7 years in jail for that?! Sick.

You mean the monster who did something so unimaginably horrible to his own son has been allowed to walk free among us, to perpetrate even more heinous crimes against society???

7 years? what the hell? 700 wouldn't be enough.

I'm looking to buy the book: "A World Without Tears" which is the story about (Charles Rothenberg) who set his son on fire, etc....

I can't seem to find it anywhere for a reasonable price.
Can somebody tell me if they know where the book is being sold
at a good and reasonable price? I live in Canada and don't want to
pay more than $30 if possible.

Please, let me know soon. I want a good copy; I don't mind if it's used.
As long as it's in pretty good condition without markings, etc...

Thanks!!

Can anybody tell me if they've seen in a store; a copy of this book?
If so, how much is it being sold for? Is it in canadian dollars or the u.s.?
Either way, let me know a.s.a.p. cause I want this book.

Please, give me all of the details; and I will decide if I want it or not.
It all depends on the condition of the book, the price, etc...

Let me know soon.
