I don't understand how parents could do this to their own child. Luckily, this waitress noticed and potentially saved his life.

I will go out on a limb and assume the stepfather was resentful toward the child and the child interfered with his mother's relationship with him. Maybe she hated the boy's father and took it out on him as well. This stuff happens more often than it should. I hope he is at least placed with family who loves and cares for him. Maybe the mother has a sister or brother or a parent who can better care for him. Poor kid.

I think the article mentioned he had a sister, too. Not sure if she suffered any abuse, but either way, hopefully they will both find a loving home together.

I was reading this story this morning, what absolute pieces of shit to abuse a kid. I hope they goto jail and get the shit kicked out of them daily. I agree, it was probably the stepdad being annoyed he couldn't bang the mother because, oh no, a child needs attention. I certainly hope they didn't abuse the girl, too, but that seems a little sadistic to say, since it means I hope they took it all out on the boy. It's a lose-lose, but I certainly hope they're both placed with a caring family.
