He deserves worse than death. There is NOTHING a 4 year old could ever do that justifies doing that to her. She was precious. It's disgraceful parents like this that sicken me. And to think, there are so many people out there who can't have kids that would have loved to take this little girl in. Sadly, I can't stop thinking about this child, what she went through, what she must have been thinking. It turns my stomach.
