A Baby is Not a Trampoline
Thhe face of evil

Christine McIntyre, 23, has been arrested for attempted murder, even though she didn’t lay a hand on the injured child. She made her 2-year old do it for her.
The female DNA donor (above), is accused of allowing (and possibly encouraging) her 2-year old son to pile blankets and a beanbag chair on top of her 11-month old son, and then jump on him until he quit breathing. Yes, you read that right. Then she spanked the 2-year old, and scolded him for doing what he was told to do. Ummmmm…..WHAT?!?!
She apparently waited for at least a minute after the infant stopped moving before pulling the 2-year old off of him. She then called paramedics, and told them that she would let them decide whether her child lived or died. Niiiiice…..
The police said she wanted her child dead because she couldn’t afford child care for both kids, but she wanted to go back to work. Oh. OK. Can someone please tell me in what alternate plane of existence this is an acceptable way to go about returning to work? Or how in the devil she thought she might be able to pay for a funeral, if she couldn’t even afford daycare? It’s in cases like these that I really wish stupidity were a fatal ebola-like condition. As soon as someone even THOUGHT of doing something like this, they would immediately start hemorrhaging from every available orifice. At least the children would be safer. I’m also wondering on which street-corner she was hoping to return to work?
Paramedics were able to revive the infant, who doctors say will most likely make a complete recovery. Both children are now in the custody of DCF, and Mcintyre is being held without bond.
Let me leave you with the only words she could manage to utter when questioned about her kids: “Just that I love them very much.”
Well then, I’d hate to see what she might do to them if she DIDN’T love them.
Thanks for this tip again, go to April.
Update:
Bridget has sent in a link to an article with some new information. You can read it here. Thanks Bridget!
The child delivery vessel who decided to get her 2-year old to off her 11-month old is being held without bond. She has requested a public defender, and visitation with her children. What?!? What does she want to see them for – to try and finish the job?
The bio-dad is apparently living in Texas, and had no idea of what had happened until the authorities contacted him. Maybe he’ll come and get the kids and take them to Texas, so that the incubator will not get the chance to harm them again.

Wow, parent of the year. Let’s see, my 2 y/o doesn’t seem to show signs of being a cold-blooded murderer. That’s okay, I’ll teach him that murder is fun! Let’s make a game out of killing the baby!
The depths of stupid never cease to shock and amaze me.

Well I guess she wont be going back to work anytime soon now.
Dollars to donuts she gets the kids back too.

I thought the same thing. You know… CPS being so diligent (or is that negligent?) and all.

Dammit and here I was thinking “my kids could sure have fun with a trampoline, maybe I should just have a another baby and they could jump on it
” (cuz trampolines cost to much, or er something -actually I hear its a bad idea to have kids under 6-8 on a trampoline)
I have kids 20 months apart and some days I swear I spend all day keeping the older one off the younger one, and stopping the younger one from getting the older one in trouble on purpose. You don’t need to encourage this kind of bad behaviour. (and for the record the older one is not a bad kid, he get ridiculously upset when other kids are upset just not his brother -probably because his brother is a bit of a drama queen)
The beanbag chair probably saved this baby and assuming there are no long-term injuries this incident probably saved them both. I think its unlikely the mom’s bad parenting has had too deep an impact on the 2 year old (maybe I’m just optimistic)

Mine are 6 yrs apart and I still spend all day keeping them off eachother!

After reading all the articles, looks like she has Münchausen syndrome, she claimed the child had some kind of sleep apnea and ordered all sorts of invasive testing on him
and for those that dont know what Münchausen syndrome is:

No, I don’t think she has Münchausen’s. I think she was trying to set up a preemptive excuse for her baby’s death. I think the little twat had planned his death, and was making sure she could blame someone else. She wasn’t trying to make him sick – she was trying to make him DEAD!

Wow. That made me physically ill.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:39 pm
Is there any way to charge her with having greasy, skanky hair?? Just sayin’…..

A truly what-the-bloody-hell crime…I’m sure the toddler may need counseling however – for I’m sure it’s emotionally traumatic for him, but obvious not his mother.

I really don’t know how these people, if they are in fact people, come up with these ideas. I guess they’re just way more creative than I am.
I wonder if the 2-year-old will be traumatized by this. I think that he probably doesn’t understand what happened and won’t remember it, but if someone tells him someday, wow, what a feeling to know that you almost killed your sibling. I’m just praying for neither of them to remember it. Those kids deserve that small mercy.

OMG. Irish twins. (2yo- 11 mo== very busy mom)
October 24th, 2009 at 11:13 am
Irish twins is when kids are less than a year apart in age. They aren’t or the oldest wouldn’t be quite 2.
Two means anything up to age three so those kids could be up to two years apart.

Nothing to do with anything and I suppose this is an uncalled for comment, but I’m gonna type it anyway. Damn! That’s a hard 23.
October 25th, 2009 at 12:50 pm
Holy shit, just when I think I’ve heard it fucking all.
October 26th, 2009 at 3:59 am
In reading these stories, I notice the word “love” never surfaces. Why? Because the so-called Mom doesn’t know what it is. Needed to save $$$$.
October 26th, 2009 at 6:57 am
Sure it does, KT….didn’t you read the one about the FBO who turned her 11 month old into a trampoline for her 2 year old? She claimed to love her kids….
Oh, yeah….that was this story….silly me.
October 26th, 2009 at 10:33 am
I have posted an update to this article. The new information is at the bottom of the original entry. Up there ^.

NO bond, no bond… Lalalalala!!
October 27th, 2009 at 8:55 am
April, I can just picture you dancing a jig as you typed that last comment…..
October 28th, 2009 at 3:24 am
here’s what i don’t get about many cases, not just child abuse but others. they hatch these plans, in her case going back to work, in order to commit there crimes thinking that they will just be able to go on with their lives rather than being prosecuted and sent to prison! it truly baffles me. where is the common sense in any of that? <- rhetorical question, obviously
October 28th, 2009 at 3:25 am
oops! “their” crimes, rather…
October 29th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
To bad the Bio-Father already has 5 (yes five)children that he does not see or take care of as it is so you can be sure that these to children will be added to the list !
