A Georgia law passed last year prohibits registered sex offenders from
living within 1,000 feet of a school bus stop. That would have barred
the younger Edenfield from living so close, but a pending lawsuit
prompted a federal judge last year to block that provision from taking
effect.

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

Molester, parents charged with child’s murder
Body of 6-year-old Georgia boy found in trash bag on roadside

SAVANNAH, Ga. - {AP}A convicted child molester and his parents were
indicted Wednesday on charges they molested and then murdered a
6-year-old neighbor boy, whose body was found last week in a trash bag
dumped by a roadside.
Glynn County District Attorney Stephen D. Kelley said he will seek the
death penalty against George David Edenfield, 32, who has a prior child
molestation conviction from 1997, and his parents, David and Peggy
Edenfield.
A friend of the Edenfield family, Donald Dale, was indicted on charges
of concealing a body and tampering with evidence.
The boy, Christopher Michael Barrios, was missing for a week before
police found his body last Thursday. The body was in a black trash bag
dumped near a roadside about three miles from his home on the outskirts
of Brunswick, a port city in southeastern Georgia.
“They deserve the worst, for them to torture my son like that, every
last one of them,” said Mike Barrios, Christopher’s father.
Variety of charges
Authorities have not released many details about the case, including how
the child was killed or how long his abductors might have kept him
alive. Other charges against the Edenfields include false imprisonment,
cruelty to children and enticing a child for indecent purposes.
Police have described George David Edenfield as mentally slow, but not
retarded and capable of understanding right from wrong.
Edenfield had to register as a sex offender in Georgia. He and his
parents lived across the street from Christopher’s grandmother and less
than 600 feet from where the kindergartner met his school bus.

George David 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.
