Christopher Barrios Jr.

Christopher Barrios Jr.

Christopher Barrios Jr. (January 2, 2001 - March 8, 2007) was a 6-year-old boy who was molested and murdered by a convicted sex offender and his parents in Brunswick, Georgia on March 8, 2007. His body was discovered on March 15th, 2007 just a few miles from where he disappeared. George Edenfield, David Edenfield and Peggy Edenfield are all accused of Christopher's abduction and murder, and are awaiting trial on capital murder charges. A fourth person, Donald Dale, is accused of concealing the death of another person and tampering with evidence.

In May 1997, George Edenfield was convicted of two counts of child molestation and given probation. In September 2006, he was indicted for violating his probation by living less than convert|1000|ft|m from a park in downtown Brunswick, and was ordered to move. On March 5, 2007, days before Christopher was abducted, Edenfield was sentenced to 10 years probation.

A state law banning convicted sex offenders from living within a thousand feet of parks, playgrounds, child-care facilities, schools, churches, swimming pools and school bus stops, was passed in 2006. However, the school bus stop provision was blocked by a federal judge pending his decision in a suit claiming this provision to be unconstitutional. George Edenfield and his family lived within just a few feet of a school bus stop that Christopher regularly used to go to school.

Christopher Barrios Law

The Justice For Christopher foundation has been set up in Christopher's honor to help fight for tougher laws against sex offenders in the state of Georgia. They are pushing for a bill, called the Christopher Barrios Law or No Second Chances, that will sentence anyone convicted of child molestation to life imprisonment and if the child dies during the commission of the act, they will receive the death penalty.
