Sex Offender, Parents Charged With Capital Murder of 6-Year-Old Georgia Boy

BRUNSWICK, Ga. —

A convicted sex offender and his parents were charged with capital murder Wednesday in the death of 6-year-old Christopher Michael Barrios.

The prosecutor in the case will seek the death penalty.

George Edenfield and his parents, David and Peggy, are charged with murder, kidnapping with bodily injury, enticing a child with indecent purposes, false imprisonment and cruelty to children and child molestation.

Donald Dale, the family friend also in custody in connection with Christopher’s death, is not being charged with capital murder but along with the Edenfields is being charged with concealing the death of another person and tampering with evidence. Dale will not be eligible for the death penalty.

Wonder what would have happened if George had been locked up for life when first charged ??  We don’t know - we didn’t give Christopher a chance to grow up by allowing this monster to live.

George Edenfield pleaded guilty in 1997 to molesting two boys, ages 7 and 9. Prosecutors said he rubbed his clothed body “in a sexual manner” against the boys, who also were fully dressed. He was sentenced then to 10 years on probation.

His father pleaded guilty to incest in 1994. He was accused of having sex with an adult relative; the relatives was not his son.

As part of his 1997 conviction, George Edenfield had to register as a sex offender in Georgia. A Georgia law passed last year prohibits registered sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop; the Edenfields lived about 600 feet from the one Christopher waited at. The Edenfields lived in a mobile-home park directly across from the Barrios family.
