Well Done

Baby's Body Burned in Grill

This article was written about a couple who killed their children and burned them in order to hide the evidence. The author did a good job at attributing all of the facts to police and authorities. The author did a good job of nailing the 5 W's in the lede in this hard news lede. The author also made effective details play into the story in order to add to the drama of the story. The author also nailed the other aspects of a hard news lede to make this a pertinent and effective hard news story.

What a story...scary that it was in Detroit. I think this qualifies as something MUCH more harsh than child abuse.

It was hard for me to concentrate on the structure of this piece when every aspect of it becomes more appalling. Good work though.

This is just gross and wrong. I can't even fathom the idea of someone doing this
