Ethan Stacy was a 4-year-old boy, who was happy, energetic, and well behaved. His parents get divorced and he is forced to visit his mother in Utah for the summer. His father had his reservations about the visit as well, but it was court ordered and he did not have a choice. What happened to Ethan at the hands of his mother and new stepfather, is both shocking and horrific.
