: Wide Receiver Tabitha Hail

: Half-back Robert Ransom

Sikeston parents charged with murder in infant daughter’s death

Even the twits on South Park know: Don’t Kick the Baby. Robert Ransom (21) and Tabitha Hail (25) up there, however, never got that message. And now their 17 month old daughter is dead.

This story will sound sickeningly, deadeningly familiar to most bb.net readers. Here are the commonalities: It’s an egg donor and her live-in clitoral stimulator boyfriend – both too young to be parents. Two other children – older children of school age – also in the home who reported “spankings” by mother. Two “parental” units who have absolutely no idea how the baby got like that. “Dunno, George! She musta falled down somewheres!”

Here’s the horrible: 911 was called to a home with an “unresponsive” infant. When they got there, they found the 17 month old girl with a distended abdomen and rushed her to the ER. There, the doctor described her injuries as what might happen if one kicked the baby “like a football.” There was the obligatory bruising to the child’s head and kidney, which is horrid enough. But. BUT!!! The poor little girl had a lacerated liver. And it had been left untreated so long that she had bled out into her stomach. According to the article, a child of this size has about 1.5 liters of blood in her whole body. Of that 1.5 liters, 1 liter was in her poor little tummy. Her pain and terror must have been gargantuan.

While the baby must have been contorted in agony, our Bad Breeder’s World Worst Parents team’s Half-back and Wide Receiver decided the answer was to go to bed. When they woke, she baby was unresponsive, had vomited on her shirt (must have been almost entirely blood) and they decided maybe this might be an emergency.

Tabitha Hail, 25, of Sikeston, was charged with second degree murder, abuse of a child and endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree.

Robert Benjamin Ransom, 21, of Sikeston, was charged with second degree murder and endangering the welfare of a child in the first degree.

Both subjects were each given a cash bond of $150,000 through Scott County Courts. They are still in custody awaiting their arraignment.

Hopefully, they will both develop appendicitis and the prison system will assume they are both faking their symptoms so that they die of acute septicemia. That’s my wish for them.

Thanks to Tasha Stacy for the heads up!

I think Tabitha Hall is a murderous piece of dirt.Whether she was 25,45 or 90,she was a disgraceful excuse for a mother.All she cared about was her bed buddy and never cared about her kids.This story makes me wonder what the world is coming to when good parents are being replaced by trash like this.

Do you copy and paste all of your comments from some handbook for morons? Just curious. Everyone of your cooments is the fucking same.

FIRST off dont nobody on this damn page know what the fuckk happend. so How bout yu all FUCKK OFF

http://badbreeders.net/ April

We no enough. Unless you have proof that these two fucks DIDN'T abuse the baby. Why don't you go ahead and fuck off.
Shadyhellyeah

My guess is you don’t either, because you most likely weren’t there, but lemme guess…. one of theses idiots are yout sister/brother/cousin/friend, and you have known them ALL your life and they just couldn’t do such a thing ZOMGAWSH!
YEAH. That’s what Ted Bundys relatives and neighbors said too.
Damn those pesky police, they actually do their job and find evidence!

So….

You “FUCKK” off.

If you know what happened why don’t you enlighten us with the “truth”? Instead of simply attacking. When we write stories up we make sure to check the facts and report them from the news articles that we are given. It’s not easy for us to look at all of the child abuse reports and report them, but we do in hopes that someone will stand up and make sure that no child has to die at the hands of an abusive parent. So unless you have some different facts for us to report on this (along with news reports proving us wrong not just what you say) why don’t YOU FUCK OFF? Notice I at least took the time to remember my second grade spelling skills.

“FIRST off dont nobody…”

I’m cringing. And not just because you’re in here defending an abuser with no evidence to prove they’re innocent, either. But also because you’re grammar and spelling suck monkey ass through a straw. Seriously. Go the fuck back to school, and pay attention this time. Then, after you’ve learned to read/write/spell correctly, feel free to come back here when there’s actual evidence of your sister/brother/cousin/friend’s innocence. If you showed up with actual proof, rather than the usual asstarded bullshit that nearly every other defender shows up with, the story would most likely be corrected to reflect said evidence.

Now kindly FUCK OFF.

I lost my son this last week, due to a freak accident, and i would give anything including my own life to have his life back. These are the kinds of mothers, that they should let mothes like me at..I would punch that stupid bitch so hard her feckin family would feel it…These kinds of women absolutley disgust me! God blessed you, and you couldn’t be grateful enough to ttell someone you didn’t think you could handle it..this makes me soooooooooo ANGRY!!!

I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss, Denise. My heart is broken for you. Big hugs

I am sad to say that Tabitha is my cousin. I just heard about this horrible, horrible abuse that led to her daughter’s murder! I have long distanced myself from that part of my family, so I barely got to know Tabitha as a person. I will say that she was abused as a child from both parents. Let me make one thing clear. This in no way lets her off the hook for her own abusive behaviour!! Sadly this in what happens to the weak. They just keep the abusive cycle going and never take a stand and become someone respectable. It just sickens me to think about what that poor innocent little girl must have went through. I just hope that one person that has been abused as a child will read this and know that they can be the opposite of how they were treated. Please wake up before it is too late!

All of these people that hurt, then kill their children do not deserve to live in the USA !!They need to be put on a deserted island to live with cannibals.

Welcome!

dee

Her raised eybrow look and his dumb-ass look really piss me off.
Poor baby, RIP
http://oddlyunfocused.blogspot.com/ Eccentric_Lady

Poor little baby, I can’t imagine the hell she went through – her injuries left unattended to actually have that much blood in her tummy, and babies don’t have that much blood to begin with! These two callous individuals were so indifferent to a baby’s cries that they went to bed? I’m sure the baby screams were horrendously loud until her voice gave out…

There’s a difference in cries from a baby being hungry/needing change to just being fussy and I would reckon that even a crolic baby’s cries would be different from the screams from this poor little angel as she laid dying. Wonder if a neighbor would’ve heard her screams and called 911 if she’d survived, for obviously those two fuckards couldn’t have cared less.

OMG, these sorry shitstains are from my town?!? They’re on the opposite side of town though. I’m embarrassed, but truth be told, unfortunately there’s hideous breeders everywhere. Just never thought I’d see someone from here on BB.

You make a point that TRULY needles me.

I have reported possible child abuse before – more than once. I was right once and I was wrong twice.

The once that I was right makes me feel ok about reporting the twice that i was wrong.

I do NOT understand how anyone can see the suffering of a child….or a spouse OR an animal for that matter…and feel it is “none of my business.” As long as we are in the human family it is ALL of our business. I’m not Christian, but I AM my brother’s and sister’s keeper. How CAN people know that a child suffers and just prance along?

I don’t understand. I could never understand. I hope I never do.

As a person who has experienced the pain of a lacerated liver… I guarantee she cried out in pain and they knew she was in pain there would be NO way they couldn’t. Not to mention the yellowing of her eyes and skin.

I was 26 years old and cried for my mommy!

I think you are being AWFULLY generous, assuming that this 21 year old POS actually KNOWS where the clitoris is, and how to stimulate it.

That is all.

True, true…

This is disgusting! I had my first daughter at 20 years old. She is now 19 and engaged to be married. I knew better than to KICK my child around! Somebody should do to these A$$holes what they have done to this beautiful little girl! I want a few minutes alone with the mother.

Even a 13 year old knows to not kick anyone who don’t mean to hurt badly. I just don’t want to accept any excuses for this waste of humanity. She knew what would happen, and I hope she gets a punishment that serves some justice. Rest in peace, sweet baby.

I know her and dysfunctional is one of the many ways you can describe her and her family. This man isn’t the father’s child, if that makes any difference, her other daughters are much older, which makes her a young mother (I think she was 13 or 14 when she had her first child). I hope her other children will break the cycle.

I agree with DodiaFae, this charges don’t look severe enough for what they did but I think it has to do with intend.

http://pagansagainstchildabuse.spruz.com/ DodiaFae

As someone pointed out in another thread (I think it was the Zysk thread), first hit, maybe… but the second they hit, kick, or punch that child a second time, they’re intending to do harm. There is no way they didn’t intend to harm this child. I so wish the court system would get that right.

Heather Koppelman

At 25, I fail to see how she is “to young to be a parent”.. not to detract from the horrors, because she should’ve known much better, especially at 25, but age has nothing to do with how well someone can parent. I was a married mommy (married first, not that unwed couples can’t parent well) at 23, and my 3 year old has an intelligence higher then most school age children. She’s reading for goodness sakes. And I’m only a year older then this wench.
Reality Check

WTF? Seriously? There is absolutely no excuse for treating your child like a human pinata. Blood in stomach? I’ve heard enough, the punishment should fit the crime…
However, the bail shouldn’t be so high, it should simply be a letter of compliance to act as cancer research ginea pigs for the rest of their days. Who ever said these bad breeders are completely worthless?
http://pagansagainstchildabuse.spruz.com/ DodiaFae

OK, my first question (yet again) is why the fuck were these PoSes only charged with second degree murder? Everyone knows that when you beat a child like this, they’re probably going to die. You know that when you kick a child in the abdomen, they’ll be severely injured, and if you don’t get them treatment immediately, they’ll die a horrible, painful death.

I don’t understand this… the “parent” who murders their child quickly with a gunshot is going to be charged with first degree… even premeditated (and rightly so.) And may even get the death penalty in some states (should be all states.) But the one who beats the shit out of their defenseless baby, makes them suffer the way this poor baby did, they get second degree and probably will not spend much time in prison (all things considered.) How the fuck is that right?

Now, on to the obligatory bashing…. WTF is wrong with the “mother’s” forehead? She looks like someone was practicing their make-up skills for an episode of Buffy. She’s got that whole “demon forehead/eyebrows” thing going. And the look on her face seems to be that of someone being inconvenienced. Bitch. And the look on the boyfriend’s face… is that surprise? He’s surprised?

Baaaahaaaaahaaaaaaa. I just thought she looked skanky.

Dodi, my thoughts exactly. Quick painless death? Life in prison.
Slow, torturous death through beatings followed by neglect? Meh, how about 10 to 20?

No, I like the OP suggestion that they be allowed to live in cages on a medical research campus – we could test all KINDS of fun things on them. I, for one, would like to know what happens when you inject someone in the eyeball with lye. I mean, it SAYS on the package that contact with the eyes COULD cause blindness, but shouldn’t we know FOR SURE?

http://pagansagainstchildabuse.spruz.com/ DodiaFae

I know there used to be a FB group that suggested using pedophiles as lab rats. I liked that idea. Using otherwise useless individuals like these for the same purpose isn’t a bad one, either.

Clevo

Organ donors. Give them the needle and cut out their organs!

http://pagansagainstchildabuse.spruz.com/ DodiaFae

Yeah, but then I’ve heard that getting a transplant is literally like having a piece of that person inside you… I’ve heard stories of people having cravings for things they never liked before, only to find out that it was a favorite of their new organ’s original owner.

If I had to choose between being able to see with the eyes of a pedophile and being blind for the rest of my life, I think I’d choose blindness. The thought of a piece of them, any piece, living on inside me just gives me the willies.
