Parents Behaving Badly

Fresno woman stands by while son is beaten

Fresno boy, 10, critical after beating:

10-year-old Seth Ireland of Fresno, California is in critical condition after being beaten severely by his birth organism’s boyfriend.

32-year-old LeBaron Vaughn allegedly got mad when Seth was picking on one of his younger brothers. Police say Vaughn then elbowed Seth in the face, punched him repeatedly in the face and chest and also kicked him while he was down.

Seth’s mother, 40-year-old Rena Ireland, did nothing to stop it.

Three month’s prior to the beating Child Protective Services were notified that Seth was in danger of abuse.

Three children, ages 7, 5 and 1-month, have been removed from the home. Talk about closing the barn door after the horses are out. Maybe they should have taken the kids out of the home before Seth was put into critical condition.

To make matters worse Vaughn is also a sex offender who received three months probation for having sex with a minor in 1999.

You’d think that would be enough reason for CPS to be concerned.

Rena Ireland has also been charged and both have pleaded not guilty to child abuse charges. God forbid they should actually take responsibility for their actions.

I still can’t fathom why some women think abusive scumbags like this are more important than their own children.

Drunk guy dangles baby from third story window

Moundsville Man Accused Of Dangling Baby From Third-Story Window:

When you were in your 20’s, or are in your 20’s, do you remember being drunk and thinking something was a good idea at the time. Usually it only involved calling an ex or hitting on a girl that was way out of your league. However the worst that happened was immense embarrassment. For 26-year-old David Anthony Dale of Moundsville, WV it resulted in a little bit more than embarrassment.

Dale, dangled his 6-month-old son from a third story window while drunk and asked some passing teens if they wanted the baby. This resulted in him being arrested and the baby being placed in the grandmother’s custody. The ‘best’ part is that the baby’s mother was home at the time but didn’t realize what was going on.

Apparently she didn’t mind Dale being drunk around the baby.

Adam Herrman

Sheriff: Parents didn’t report boy missing for a decade:

The crime blogosphere and the media has been alight with the story of Adam Herrman. He’s the boy who disappeared at the age of 11 back in 1999 and hasn’t been seen since. The reason it’s so hot in the news right now is because his adoptive parents just recently reported him missing…after almost a decade.

Before I even get started I see this case quickly degenerating into the Nancy Grace type stories. In case you haven’t figured it out by now I despise Nancy Grace and her ilk.

Anyway, the adoptive parents, Doug and Valerie Herrman, have already retained the services of an attorney. When a family does that it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Their attorney, Warner Eisenbise, says that the Herrman’s ‘rue the fact’ that they didn’t report Adam missing and they feel very ‘guilty’and were ‘worried’ about him. Never mind the fact that not doing anything for 10 years make them look guilty as hell. And they may not be. Look at the Ramsey’s. Everybody including me thought they were guilty and just recently police cleared them of any wrongdoing. So the Herrman’s may just be guilty of being stupid.

However the reasons they give for not notifying police are idiotic. They say that Adam would frequently ran away and they just assumed that he was either with his biological parents are he was homeless. Let’s go with the homeless part for a second. So you weren’t worried that your 11-year-old son at the time was living out on the streets. Adam is roughly the same age as my son. Luckily I’ve never had to call police because he was missing. If I did have to I wouldn’t wait 10 damn years.

What I’m curious about is if the Herrmans were receiving any kind of government assistance for being Adam’s foster parents then adoptive parents. That’s where a lot of these cases usually lie.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this one but as soon as it enters into Casey Anthony territory I’m out.

Thanks to LadyJade, Liz, Tracey, and Kathy.

Kids unharmed in murder-suicide…for once

Kids alone for days, parents dead in locked room :

Police in Madras, Oregon discovered the bodies of 26-year-old Hannah Crowe and 21-year-old Julian Wallulatum dead from an apparent murder-suicide. Both were shot and Crowe was said to be the murder victim. The murder-suicide allegedly happened after a domestic dispute. Their 9-month-old daughter was locked in the room with them but was relatively unhurt. Three older children were left outside of the room on their own.

How sad is it when we say after a story like this that at least he didn’t harm the children.

Thanks again to LadyJade for the tip.

Father and daughter arrested in baby dumping

Body Of Baby Dumped In The Trash Found:

Two generations of stupid were arrested by Port Angeles, Washington police in the matter of a baby dumping.

Police arrested 41-year-old Ronald Last Jr. and his 16-year-old daughter for dumping her newborn into a trash can. An unidentified woman notified police that she saw the baby in the trash can. By the time police acted they had to search the local dump for the baby. They found the body 6 hours into their search.

Police allege that the girl gave birth in the bathroom and drowned the newborn in the toilet befopre dumping the body in the trashcan. She had told her father that she bled on the bathroom rug and threw it away. When the father went to look for the rug, because really that’s what father’s do, he discovered the baby’s body in the trashcan. What fathers aren’t supposed to do is to help their daughter’s cover their murderous tracks.

When police searched the house they found gun in the house and a drug smuggling device. So apparently the lack of restraint runs in the family.

For the love of God Montressor

3 babies rescued from rat-infested home:

In Chicago two women and a man were arrested on child endangerment charges after police were called to the house on a domestic disturbance call. Police found two baby boys on the floor of the rat and roach infested house that had no heat or running water.

On another call to the house police found a 4-month-old baby girl hidden between a mattress and a wall.

If Edgar Allen Poe was alive today he couldn’t come close to imagining the horrors that some people inflict on their own children.

Quebec children killed in failed murder-suicide

Que. woman charged with murder in children’s deaths:

36-year-old Cathy Gauthier-Lachance of the Saguenay region Quebec was arrested in connection with the deaths of her 3 children and her husband. There has been no motive for the killings but both parents had recently lost their jobs. It’s alleged that this was supposed to have been a murder and suicide pact between Gauthier-Lachance and her husband 46-year-old Marc Laliberte.

The RCMP have said that the children, 12-year old Joelle, 7-year old Marc-Ange and 4-year old Louis-Philippe, died from either suffocation or poisoning. Both Laliberte and Gauthier-Lachance had stab wounds.

I still don’t get why when people are having financial difficulties they feel the need to punish their children for their own failures. If you want to kill yourselves go alone. Let the kids have a fighting chance at least.

Danny Platt killed his 2-year-old son over child support

Father kills 2-year-old son, dumps him in park, police say

La. father accused of killing son owed $4K

Dad ‘kills son to avoid child support’

Cops: Dad angry over child support kills son

Police: Father Admits To Killing 2-Year-Old Son

Considering the amount of e-mails I received on this story I’m sure most of you have read this story by now.

22-year-old Danny Platt of New Orleans has been arrested for the murder of his son, 2-year-old Ja’Shawn Powell.

Originally Platt had told police that 2 men brandishing AK-47’s had kidnapped Ja’Shawn. Police didn’t buy that story and always considered him the main suspect. Eventually Pratt confessed to police that he killed his son. He then led investigators to Ja’Shawn’s body that was left in near a playground.

In his confession Platt said that he was either going to kill his son or his mother because he had recently been ordered to pay $4000 child support. While being led to jail in handcuffs Pratt said that he was sorry for killing Ja’Shawn and that he was ‘under a lot of pressure’.

His hands cuffed behind his back, his head hanging low, his eyes red and wet, Platt said, “I’m sorry about killing my baby.”

During his short walk to jail in front of cameras and reporters, Platt said there were a “whole bunch of reasons” for killing his son. “I had a lot of pressure on me,” he said. He didn’t elaborate.

Police have not yet confirmed that the body found was Ja’Shawn’s or the cause of death.

Allegedly this was the first time that Pratt exercised his visitation rights.

I can’t come with the right words for the amount of disdain I have for Platt. First off you’re not sorry one bit for killing Ja’Shawn. You’re only sorry that you got caught. And what possible pressure could you be under to kill your own child? $4K of child support doesn’t count because a father is supposed to take care of his son you ignorant son of a bitch.

This is how really heartbreaking this case is…

Gagliano backed his car up the alley. He didn’t need the transport van or a gurney. The toddler’s body fit in the trunk.

Louisiana does have the death penalty although I wouldn’t be upset if someone took him out they Dahmer was taken out.

Woman drives drunk, wrong way up Interstate with son in car

Police: Wrong-Way Driver Was Drunk, With Toddler:

23-year-old Lindsey Thompson of Columbus, Ohio was arrested in Delaware, Ohio after driving the wrong way down I-71 after New Year’s Eve. She drove for 10-miles down I-71 the wrong way before being stopped by police. She was at least twice over the legal limit and was so drunk she couldn’t even take the field sobriety test.

She claimed that the reason she was driving the wrong way was partying in west Columbus and thought she was still in that part of town. Police also found cocaine in her car. And oh yeah police also found her 21-month-old son in the car.

Which leads me to wonder where her toddler son was while she was partying.

Luckily the child was unhurt and has been placed into the custody of Children Services.

Woman on the run in suffocation death of daughter

San Jose police seek mother in death of infant girl:

Police in San Jose, California are looking for 23-year-old Christina Robledo. Check the mugshot in the article. She looks a lot older than 23. Then again police say she’s a known drug and alcohol abuser so that would explain a lot.

Police say that in a drug and alcohol influenced stupor she passed out on top of her infant daughter Neveah Salinas Robledo. The autopsy report showed that she died from asphyxiation.

Again people, when you have kids it’s time to stop doing drugs and drinking like a fish. If you love your drugs more than your kids either don’t have kids, don’t screw around, and if you do have kids just give them up for adoption so they could at least have a fighting chance in the world.

Now an infant girl is dead because of stupid choices her birth organism made.

Thanks to LiLO for the tip.
