My heart goes out to Ryan and his family. I only hope that the legal system can charge this scumbag with Murder once Ryans body joins his consciousness and soul in heaven.
His consciousness is in his body. He is still here.
This describes Austin’s parents: https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t1.0-9/10447058_10152069783106735_7323621903777647108_n.png
I’m so sorry for your family. Karma always comes around and Austin vantrease will get what’s coming to him someday.
Austin Vantrease is just another Joran van der Sloot. Gets away with a crime and will be able to commit another. The SICKEST part of this whole situation is Austin’s lack of remorse and responsibility for Ryan. It’s so disgusting to me. Plus his Family’s lack of care and concern for the Diviney family. They should all be out in public begging for forgiveness and finding ways to help!! Not contributing to the heartbreak.
Hey Austin, Time to start paying your court ordered restitution. The Divineys have been waiting. Question, if Austin doesn’t start to pay it back as soon as he is released , can he be held in contempt of court ?
Such an injustice!! Hopefully someday he will be served his!
I’m so sorry. What a miscarriage of justice!
In no way is this justice! That POS should stay locked up not for ten years, life! Watch out for karma Vantrease!
This is just awful, wish he got life without parole. This made me feel sick to watch and this all of this. Sorry for what he did to Ryan and your Family.
I am sorry for Ryan and your family. I hope and pray for God to help you.
🙁 So sorry.. This is in no way any form of justice!
I think we’re all so shell-shocked and sad that your family must continue to be traumatized and terrorized by Ryan’s attacker. Simply despicable.. But we will always have your backs, and we will continue to hope and pray for Ryan’s recovery. Love you Divineys!!
The path that this sets forth remains to be seen. Hopefully the supervision will be an odd blessing of a sort. Praying for the best possible outcome and sending love to the Divineys. <3 RKD
I just dont understand how his family can justify what he did. whether he was a ‘good kid’ before this or not. Fact remains that he hurt an innocent person in a split second, stupid decision. Just because the level of damage he caused wasn’t expected, that doesn’t mean it was an accident and should go unpunished. And they released him back into society with these delusional people as his support system! I could NEVER make excuses for someone like that….family or not. they should be ashamed of themselves. 4 years would never be enough for what he did to Ryan. They want austin back for vacation? Why? why should he get his life back when Ryan hasnt gotten his? Why should austin’s hell on earth end, when yours hasnt? It’s selfish of them to think they deserve to have him back……Sorry for the rant, but Im just so upset. I am so sorry to all of you!
I am so so sorry….I wish Vantrease Karma at it’s finest.
This is just wrong.
And what about this evil animal attacking another male or female or a child! Will he get a pat on the back then too! I’m furious! What kinda of justice system do we have in West Virginia? None!! Child molesters walk away, murderers get hardly nothing, you get five dui’s and wreck n kill 7 innocent victims and get a few years in prison! Wth is with this country why is no one being punished what so ever!
This is so wrong! This man committed nothing short of murder and now he will be a free man in less than 90 days!!! I pray that Ryan’s face haunts him until his dying breath!!!
I am shocked that your prison system could do this. Hopefully he will screw up while on supervision and parole. Like to see how long he keeps a job before he has to start paying you back financially. I wonder if he will be even able to find a job which should land him back into prison.
This is so wrong. The Victims pay with there life while these monster s who call themselves humans are set free.
I meant that I realize he was granted parole NOW, but if he served another year, would that mean he’d be free of any supervision at all??
I’m furious!!!! So, Ken, I watched the news clip and it said he’d be let out next year free? Does that mean he served his time and no parole or probation or anything?? I mean how on Gods green earth did he get a max of 10 yrs and not serve even half of that? I just can’t believe it! I think he should have to stay in until restitution is payed and Ryan wakes up. Guarantee his family would be forking over the money then…they are such enablers making pitiful excuses for their monster of a son. I’m so angry I could scream. I’m so sorry Ken. 🙁
There are no words that will comfort you ,Divineys . But will be here always.We are Ryans’s prayer warriors and Team Diviney <3
I am so shocked and saddened by this. I really did not expect him to get out. I guess I just didn’t want him to get out. He should be kept away from society and those he loves like Ryan was taken away. You and your family are just surviving and doing what has to be done and what should be done when it comes to taking care of and loving your children. You do all that you do for your son and your family. It may not mean much but with all of the bad things happening in the world and the cruel heartless people, you make me want to be a better daughter, sister, wife, and person. You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers, but I know you will get through this time like you have gotten through everything else that has happened the last few years. God bless.
Disappointed in our justice system…his debt to your family isn’t close to being paid. This person should be doing all the caretaking and paying financially for Ryan for the rest of Ryan’s life, IMHO. Continuing to pray for your family.
I am so sorry for Ryan and the family, my heart goes out to you. I’m outraged he should not be released, he will be back in there in no time. God Bless!!
I just couldn’t believe it when i heard! Makes me sick! Im so sorry! I will continue to keep you all in my Prayers.
This is very disappointing But as a spiritual person it hurts me to see people saying thst God will punish people and God will make people rot in hell God is all knowing and is forgiving I can only hope all humans can receive some of his power
Unbelievable. I wonder how many more lives he will destroy before he ends up in prison again. Ryan doesn’t have his freedom back…why the heck should this guy have his? Thinking of you all.
Very disappointing.
Unbelievable! So sorry to hear this news. Your family will never get to live a “normal” life because of this man and he shouldn’t have that privilege either. As a stranger who has never met your family, I still know that you and your family will handle this the same way you have the entire time—with grace and doing what you have to do to get through each day. Thoughts will be with you as you continue your journey with your son. The world that has read about Ryan and followed his story love him like he is a part of each person’s family. Hang in there! Love sent to your family!
Really this is so sad I’m so sorry you have to deal with this poor Ryan can’t do nothing and now this guy gets his freedom back what is this world coming to my thoughts and prayed tobryan and his family
No words. Just.no.words.
You are right, Carla.
I am so sorry to hear he got paroled. He should never be let out, he is a danger to society. Praying and thinking of Ryan and your family.
So so sorry to hear this. Prayers are with you and your family. And remember he will meet the final Judge one sweet day and it surely won’t go well for him…..
I’m stunned. Vantrease should not be allowed to return to his “normal” life until Ryan can return to his. Why did the parole board think Vantrease should be unleashed on the world? If he is capable of human feelings, I hope he is tormented by what he did to Ryan for the rest of his natural life. Ugh.
I don’t know you, but my prayers have been with you and your family for four years. By God’s grace, my prayers will continue as long as you need them.
Sending virtual hugs your way.
Can you appeal???
I guess it’s a lose, lose situation. You don’t want him free without ur supervision. Granted we don’t want him free at all
No words…..
He will get into trouble again and will end up back in jail/prison. He is a thug and will probably stay that way.
Wtf.
You took the words right out of my mouth Carly! Ditto, Ditto, Ditto….#*+!!<#/! I'm sad, frustrated and angry for the Diviney's…10 years wouldn't have been enough. I guess this day was going to come eventually but I'm stunned it happened this soon…Far far too short. What on earth made the parole board make this unwise decision? Talk about pouring salt in the wound…
Ken, I am so sorry to hear this news. However, I know you and your family will continue to meet this challenge with dignity and grace, just as you have each and every one before. We pray for all of you every night. I know we can never understand your pain, so hope these words do not sound trivial or cliche’
Very disappointing but he has Big Brother watching over his every move. Like OJ he got away with a horrible crime and in the end a petty crime put him away forever. Karma and Christ will handle this from here. Your sweet family are in my thoughts and prayer.
So disgusting!
P.O.S.
My heart goes out to you and your family.
This just breaks my heart. I was sick when I saw the news.
He doesn’t belong in society. I am sure he won’t last long before going back.
Ken, Ryan & family. I am so sorry. Many of us had prayed for justice. But hey–these punks only beat Ryan, left him disabled for life. If they’d committed a drug crime–7th degree possession of a controlled substance, e.g., or even God help us, had raped Ryan, they would’ve been sent up for life. We saw a case locally where a young man killed 2 young people, left 2 others critically injured driving while both drunk 2x legal limit and high. He got 5 years, out in 3. The DA involved is a crusader against “sex crimes.” That means long prison terms, lifetime supervision. Maybe, when these thugs critically injure or, God help us, kill someone else, they’ll get real prison time. Or, as I said, they are arrested for a drug or sex offense….
God be with you & your family. GOD will render justice in the next world. Ryan will be made whole in Christ and these thugs will be consigned to the depth of Hades.
PK & Tim
Tragic and disappointing. Ken, my thoughts and support are with you always.
🙁
