Danielle Brown Accused of Killing Her Six-Month-Old Daughter
In South Carolina, six-month-old Hailey Wilson had been stomped on, slapped around, and choked to death. Her mother, Danielle Bowen, who had turned 18 just a few days before Hailey died, is accused of killing her. She is charged with homicide by child abuse.
Police arrested Bowen after she called 911 to report her baby had stopped breathing and had no pulse. An autopsy shows that Hailey died from being stepped on, choked and slapped. She was left unattended for 20 minutes before emergency workers came to the house.
Bowen told police that she accidentally stepped on the baby while trying to get to her 18-month-old son. Bowen’s family claims she has post-partum depression. Her attorney says that she was under tremendous stress because she’s young. She got pregnant when she was 16 and dropped out of school. Even so, she was still with the father of both her kids and was engaged to be married to him. (Gosh, didn’t anyone tell these two about birth control after she had the first kid?)
Bowen is in jail after the judge set a $250,000 surety bond in the case. She’s considered a flight risk and threat to her other child. (The boy is in the custody of his father’s parents.)
Unless they can prove that the baby’s daddy did it, I believe the right person’s in jail. What do you think?

I think rocker doll is right. Im new to this sight and was reading all of what you had to say. this yosher says that all the people who are for the children posts the same but he and that amy posts exactly alike.they think they are better than everone else cause they use differnt words but they sound stupid to me Im not young and i didnt go to college but i know right and wrong. what this girl here done was very wrong.young girls nowdays dont have the since to raise kids anymore like back in my days. people can say what they will but its wrong to hurt little children.i had six kids. 2 of them are gone now. makes me upset to know that there are people who want to take the killers side. its not right. i think that the problem there is that folks who do these things dont have to pay for what they done.

Granny, thank you. I agree with you. They do post much the same. I can never understand anyone who could defend evil people like this. They have to be twisted yet they want us to think there is something wrong with us because we aren’t heartless like they are. I look forward to reading more of your posts.
And no, we don’t get together in social groups as one of the idiots said to ‘make ourselves feel better’. This happens to be a forum for opinions and that’s all we are doing. Anyone who has children and loves them would be outraged by the acts we read about here.

Rockdoll,jJeez…. All I ever said was we need to understand how these things happen. Nothing I ever said was a defense, only an attempt at a discussion. You started the trash talk. I just wanted to understand why you were more excited by the punishment than prevention.
To understand something is not to excuse it. How could you, from all my carefully selected words, find anything other than a desire to understand? That’s what swarm outrage does. It obliterates reason.
February 26th, 2008 at 10:41 am
You can say it’s trash talk if that makes you feel better. That’s not the reason I come on this site. Unlike you, I am genuinely hurt by knowing what happens to these children. You were the one who said that I was more excited by the punishement than prevention. That, too, is false. See, you don’t know as much as you think you do.

I think Yoshi and Amy probably care as much about children as any one else posting on this web site. I just think they are misguided about the real relationship between knowing and doing. Lots of people know that smoking causes that hacking cough they live with every day. It doesn’t mean they are going to do anything about it. We understand now the events, political and social environment that led to Vietnam, but we still weren’t able to avoid the current situation in Iraq.
My point is that knowing the cause of an undesirable (in this case, tragic) situation does not necessarily lead to a way to fix the problem. Sometimes you need to address the problem BEFORE you have all the knowledge in hand. Because while we’re trying to figure out why some parents harm their children, more kids are being harmed and killed every day.
In this case, this young woman obviously needs to be prevented from having any more children she can abuse or being near anyone else’s children. Lifelong imprisonment will solve the problem this young woman presents to society.

I come from an abusive home.
I don’t want your outraged responses. I don’t want your simpathy. And keep your prayers off of me. They are useless pap.
It would be infinately more useful to me, had more people before me gone Amy’s way. Had my elders tried to understand what MAKES abusive parents. Had they at least tried to prevent it.
Do not talk to me about the available help. I have a newsflash for you. There is a great number of parents who think that it’s just A-okay to beat on their children. That since they made them, it is prefectly within their right to kill them. My mother had frequently informed me of that little bit of information.
Children of those people are beyond help. Your well-meant interventions and services are admitedly of help. They should however be a last resort. When all the prevention strategies have failed.
Prevention is the only hope for the future.
Most of the outraged people here strike me as genuinely well-meaning. Genuinely wanting to help. They also strike me as severely misguided.
Children who need your help the most, are those whose existence you are oblivious of. Until they end up maimed or dead.
WAKE UP!!!

i think that thisis terrible how could you do this to your own fleash and blood i have a baby son and i could never do such bad terrible things no matter what!!

that is sad to hear she stomped on her baby girl just cause of stress if she knew she was stressed for the first kid she shouldnt have had another one i have two little boys and i know how to control my emotions around them if the dad wasn’t present when she did this then i feel sorry for him but if he knows something about it i pray for him and the girl she needs to get what she deserves. it’s sad to hear that teens are getting pregnant early and can’t hack it stop having babies for thier own safety please

you know everybody has some kind of opinon ”what really should happen is young women should learn not to havechildren so young it is very stressful at that age and from pictures on her bond hearing shes does suffer from post partum depression if you suffer from any kind of depression you can look at her and you would know that so all you know it alls keep in mind thall shall not judge you are not GOD and he loves her she needed helpand she was let down take a good look if she would have got the help she needed her baby would still be here so if you know someone who needs help lend a hand thanks for your time to read this remember don’t judge let GOD do that BLESS THE BOWEN FAMILY AND DANIELLE YOU WILL BE PRAYED FOR MAY GOD HELP YOU THROGHT THIS TIME PEACE FOR NOW AND ALWAYS

Hey, tammy…have you ever heard of this little thing called PUNCTUATION? Try it sometime, it would do wonders for your writing skills. Maybe you should throw in a few spelling and grammar lessons as well. I think my eyes are bleeding, after having read that….
And please quit defending the baby killer. I had PPD after FOUR of my six kids, and guess what? I didn’t kill any of them! Amazing, isn’t it? I didn’t even abuse them a little bit! I took care of my problem instead of transferring it to my kids. No sympathy for the murdering little twit here….I hope she spends a good, long time in jail, because she put her baby in a coffin – forever.
April 18th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
VoiceInDesert, I understand your anger…and I also understand why you want prayers kept off of you…in fact, I’m not religious either and I, like you, prefer to have prayers kept off of me. As for those excuses for parents that think that beating the crap out of their kids is the best solution to everything, beating the crap out someone, not to mention children, only makes it worse and those who do stuff like that and brag about it are sick fucks that have no life and that may have been abusive to their kids. NEWSFLASH, PEOPLE!!!!!!!! As for that vile fat cow named Danielle brown, I hope she rots in prison.
