Parents Behaving Badly

Article1, Article2

Kathleen Butts picked up her kids from daycare on Nov 10, 2009, at 5:15, but she never made it out of the parking lot with them. She did however, manage to find her way into a nearby snowbank, which is where a maintenance worker found her at 7PM. Her two children, 2 and 4 years old, strapped into the car, and had been sitting there for an hour and a half, with the door wide open. Both were cold, and no doubt scared, but after a quick trip to the hospital they were released to other family members, and both of them are doing fine.

It’s a good thing that the maintenance worker found her, or those children could have frozen to death. This happened in New Hampshire, and it was 30 degrees outside.

Butts admitted to drinking before going to get her kids, and is being charged with aggravated DWI, and child endangerment. That said, I have another bone to pick……If Butts was so drunk when she picked up her kids from daycare that she passed out in a snowbank outside, somebody at the daycare had to have noticed. Why in blue blazes was she allowed to take the children from the facility in that condition? Were the workers THAT eager to clock out that they would let a couple of kids go with a drunk? And how is it that none of the workers noticed the car, with it’s door open, when they left for the day? I think the daycare needs to be investigated as well. They are guilty of endangerment just as surely as the mother is. At the very least, the employees need a class or two on how to keep kids safe from idiot parents who show up schnozzled.

Article1, Article2, Article3

Amber Lee Gandy, 25, of Grand Ronde, Oregon, likes to drink and then go joyriding with her babies in the car. Allegedly. Charges are expected to be filed concerning the accident in which she flipped her SUV upside down in Widow Creek with her children, 2-year old Kylie Gandy, 3-year old Austin Gandy, and six-month old Kameron Gandy in the vehicle.

Luckily, a neighbor happened upon the wreck and was able to extract Kylie and Austin, and the mother. It took a few more minutes before the incubator remembered that she had a third child, who was still in the vehicle, underwater. The hero waded back in to the creek, but by the time he got the baby out, Kameron had no pulse and was not breathing.

Medical personnel managed to revive the infant and he was life-flighted to another hospital in critical condition, and his prognosis has improved since then. No thanks to the idiot who thought that getting her drink on was more important than keeping her kids alive.

Where do these selfish hootchies come from? And why do they have babies that they have no intention of taking proper care of? How hard is it to stay sober, anyway? I do it all the time, so it can’t be that hard. Just say no. Just another public service announcement from your neighborhood crime prevention specialist, Captain Obvious.

I have yet to find an article that gives Amber’s BAC, but the wording in one of the articles makes me wonder if alcohol was the only thing she was under the influence of. According to the second article linked above, “an investigation by the Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police revealed that Amber Gandy was under the influence of intoxicants and that alcohol was a contributing factor of the traffic crash.” If alcohol was listed as a ‘factor’, and she was under the influence of ‘intoxicants’ (plural), that leads me to believe that there were other substances that she tested positive for, as well.

Oh, and did I mention that she was driving on a suspended license? Yeah. It has been suspended since 2007. I bet it wasn’t suspended for anything as minor as unpaid traffic tickets, either. Something tells me that this ain’t her first rodeo, if ya know what I mean…..

And just so I don’t get slammed by the ‘double standard’ police….where in the HELL was the father? Surely he knew her license were suspended, and that she had a drinking problem. So why were the kiddies in the car with her? So many questions….anybody have any answers?

I sincerely hope they throw the book at this lush, and keep her away from her kids for a good long time. Like, until they are old enough to drive themselves around.

I’d like to thank Calvena for this tip.

Article1, Article2, Article3, Article4

We may as well say that both parents are losers and liars, and they have both cried at some point during this clustermuck. I would be willing to bet that neither has cried as much as their three year old did when he was shot. Just guessing on that one, though.

William Thalley, 29, and his wife, Nicole Fernandez, 25, have been arrested on child abuse charges, and it hasn’t been reported yet, but I would imagine also for filing a false police report (for lying to the cops). Now if they could just be charged with terminal stupidity as well, we could call it a day.

Thalley told the cops that his three year old had been shot in a drive by shooting, and the little woman backed up his silly story. The child was at the hospital where they had taken him after he was injured at the family home. I guess they thought that taking the child to the hospital BEFORE notifying authorities would keep them from doing a thorough investigation at the residence, and their story might be believed. While no details were given, my guess is that the first clue that the parents were lying was probably the lack of a bullet hole in wall or window.

The 3-year old boy, whose name has not been released, was in serious condition just after the incident but has since been released into the custody of Colorado CPS. The parents have been barred from all contact with the child (good call, Judge!), and both still remain in jail. Thalley has a bond set at $275,000.00, and Fernandez’ bond is $150,000.00.

The police determined that the child was shot inside the residence, and that the bullet came from a gun that was also inside the residence, and being held at the time by the sperm donor. Thalley has tried to blame an unidentified Hispanic man for the crime. Nothing says brotherhood like trying to blame one of your own ethnic group, huh?

Thalley has a prior conviction for domestic abuse, and hopefully this incident will get him the lengthy sentence that he so richly deserves. He cried crocodile tears for the judge, but apparently the judge doesn’t care for reptiles, because the waterworks didn’t sway him (her?).

I know this is off topic, and irrelevant, but I had to bring it up because it intrigues me. One of the couple’s neighbors said that the child has blond hair. I looked at the pictures of the parents. While I completely understand genetics, and know that two brown eyed people can create a blue eyed child if each has a recessive blue-eye gene, and the child gets it from both parents; I find it hard to believe that BOTH of these individuals have a gene for blond hair. Which makes me wonder if the child even belongs to Thalley, or if he is the step-penis. Just a little something to make you go “Hmmmmmmm…..”

In other news, the only remaining member of the family, a dog, was confiscated from the home on Monday. I wonder if he had any bullet holes in him, or if the boy was the only interesting target for the abusive idiot.

implements of torture

Apparently they can all be used as disciplinary tools……no, not really. But a Jamaican national residing in Cambridge, in the UK, thought that it would be OK to use these implements to keep the kids in line anyway. She has eight of them – children, I mean. You’d think if she hates kids so much, she would figure out what causes them and have that problem remedied. But no….she just keeps right on poppin’ ‘em out like a pez dispenser.

She was turned in by two of her own children who were finally terrified and terrorized enough to report the abuse to a teacher last year. This slag has been convicted on 18 charges. She would beat the children in the head with the meat mallet and garlic crusher, and brand them with the hot screwdriver. She also used belts and broken coat hangers to beat the children, and once slashed one of the children with a knife. One of the children admitted to considering suicide because of the way they were all treated.

Although social workers were first involved with the family as early as 1999, nothing was done for them until the report was made to the teacher in 2008. I won’t even go there. It makes me too sick – but y’all go ahead and have at it, OK?

The branding incident that involved one of her daughters has left permanent scarring on the girl’s thigh and buttocks. Then the incubator had the nerve to tell the authorities that the children made it all up. Were the scars on the thighs and buttocks imaginary too, I wonder? Stupid cow. The 12 and 14-year olds did all of the shopping and cooking while mum laid about on the sofa. Stuffing her fat cow face, no doubt.

When the authorities arrived to arrest her, there was also the obligatory nastiness in the house. One of the officers stated that, “The house was untidy and cluttered. It smelt and there were no, or very few, toys around.” There was also no food in the house and no sheets on the children’s beds. Why is THAT not surprising?

The abusive individual will be sentenced on December 7.

Read It Here Meth Mom here couldn’t adequately care for her 9 month-old child.  She felt the child would get better care from her Meth dealer…Sound judgement?!?

It is reported that a “friend” of the dealer describes the 9 month old as malnourished and without basic needs when the 23 year old mother brought her to the dealer. Police say the mother admitted to being a meth user but gave the baby to a drug dealer to protect her.   She didn’t feel like the baby was safe with her on the streets because was living on the streets and cars and homeless at the time.

She apparently gave the dealer a note stating she relinquished custody to her and also handed over her medicare card.

Police are continuing their investigation to determine if the baby girl was used as part of a drug deal.

Police are also looking to charges against the baby’s mother. She does have another child who is living with relatives out of state.

The drug dealer also has three other children. They are being cared for by family friends.

Debra Denise Chatman, 27, and her live-in abuser, William Tajahn Hurley, 23, have both been charged with malicious punishment of a child, and Chatman has also been charged with endangerment, in the beating of Chatman’s 10-year old son. Both articles refer to Hurley as the boy’s ‘dad’, but based on his age and the age of the child, I am betting that should have been ’step-dad’.

These two sorry examples of the bipedal mammalian species called ‘human’, began their torture session with the boy by beating him with a belt and burning him with a hot iron. When the child ran and hid under the bed, the male animal threatened to kill him if he refused to come out.

When the terrified child came out, he tried to escape by running from the apartment, screaming loudly. His horrible incubator then dragged him back into the apartment, where Hurley began beating him again – this time with an extension cord. It was at this point that the boy once again got out of Hurley’s grasp, and tried to hide in the oven. Did the egg donor then try to protect her son, I ask you? No. She turned on the freakin’ oven. With her own child inside. What a slag.

Chatman at first tried to blame Hurley for turning on the oven, but later admitted that she was the one who had done it. All he did was burn the boy with a hot iron. Oh. OK. That makes it alright, then. Not.

When police arrived, you would think that the idiot (pseudo)adults would have left off beating the boy….but no. They were apparently not that smart. Big surprise there, right? The 23-year old sex toy allegedly threatened, in front of of the responding officers, to beat the child again. He had to be restrained by the officers.

The mother stated that though the man wasn’t actually the bio-dad of her son, he was the primary ‘father-figure’, and would discipline the boy when he acted out against her. Wait a minute……isn’t that supposed to be HER job? As the mother?

Now, what, you may ask, was the initial cause of this beating? Not that anything the child did could justify such abuse, but you would at least think that the child must have done something pretty heinous, right? Maybe he set the living room on fire, or wrecked the family car while out joyriding? Or maybe he kicked the family pet a few times, or slapped his mom (obviously somebody should have)? Noooooo…….he was beaten because he went into his mother’s bedroom, and Hurley didn’t like that. What?!? Because he went into the bedroom? Did he smoke up all of their crack that was in there, or interrupt them in the middle of a sexual frenzy? He went into a bedroom, and got beaten, burned, and almost baked for it? My head spins.

I originally posted about this story here.

Tessa Zelek, and her husband James Alvin McCart, 23, were arrested for the starvation of their twin sons. Tessa was sentenced to 70 years back in October, but the sperm donor, James, has managed to get a plea deal that resulted in a fifteen year sentence with twelve to be served. What a travesty of justice!

Two boys will have permanent brain damage, and other health worries, but one of the people who caused these problems for them could be walking the streets again in leas than 15 years. Absolutely disgusting!

Michael Dunn

That friendly looking fella up there is firefighter Michael Dunn, 43. This is gonna be one of those stories that will make you say, “Wow! That might actually be funny, if it wasn’t so stupid!”

It seems Mike and the wife were arguing over bills on Halloween, so Mike thought he would help diffuse the situation by putting half a tablet of Lexapro in the little woman’s Earl Grey, to ‘calm her down’. No matter that it had been prescribed to him, and might have helped even more if it had been taken by him. Since it had been prescribed to him, I can only assume that a doctor somewhere had determined that he needed to be on it.

Anyway, Mikey-boy drugged the tea, and sat back to wait for it to kick in. His wife had just returned from trick-or-treating with their 3-year-old son, and had made the hot tea to help warm up, and she shared it with the baby, because he was cold, too. Oops! I’m pretty sure that Lexapro’s not good for a 3-year old in any dosage, let alone half of an adult strength tablet.

Mrs. Dunn became suspicious when she noticed a white powdery substance around the child’s mouth, and she asked her hubby if he had put something in the tea. He tried to tell her that it must just be undissolved sugar. Did I mention that Mrs. Dunn is a police detective? No? Well, she is. I hear those cops are pretty smart…..she didn’t even consider her husband’s version, but instead wiped the child’s mouth, and saved the tissue with the residue. Then she found Mike’s prescription, and he finally admitted what he had done. Like I said…those cops are pretty smart.

Mrs. Dunn then called the (on-duty) police, and had this 18-year veteran of the Fire Department arrested. It seems Mike has had a previous domestic abuse arrest involving his first wife. He threw a bag of laundry at his 5-year old daughter, and threw his wife to the ground; but managed to have the charge dropped after staying out of trouble for seven months. Another fine example of the judicial system’s lenience leading to further domestic incidents.

Mike has now been charged with placing foreign objects in edibles, which carries a max sentence of 18 months. That probably means he’ll get nothing more than probation for this incident.

Both the mother and child were unharmed, but that still does not excuse or mitigate his behavior in any way, IMO. The child drinking the tea might have been unintentional, but his lying about the drug afterward WAS intentional. He knew the child had ingested the drug, and still lied to his wife about it – not knowing what it might do to the boy. That’s reckless endangerment, in my book.

The picture up there is Melodia Dunn. She is the mother of LaDareon Dunn, 3, and his brother Catereon, 2 – the two boys who died in a fire in Memphis a few weeks ago. The original story was posted here, and my first update to it can be found here.

The mother has FINALLY been arrested! She has been indicted for the deaths of her two children. Her lawyer is apparently already looking for a mental defect loophole for his client; and if successful, the irresponsible person who left those two boys to die alone in the house may not serve much time at all. Let’s all hope that a jury will see through such a lame excuse, and convict her and have her sentenced in the harshest possible manner.

Dunn is currently being held on $250,000.00 bond.

Diane Schuler

Diane Schuler has killed seven people. Four of them were children, and one of them was her own child. Diane was drunk. And stoned. And driving these kids back from a camping trip. There was only one survivor from the horrific crash that occurred after she drove almost two miles on the Taconic Parkway THE WRONG WAY. Her five year old son lived.

Diane killed her three nieces, ages 9, 7, and 5, and killed her own 2-year-old daughter as well. She also killed all three men in the SUV she hit head-on. And she died as well, so she won’t be going to jail for her crimes. Apparently many family members knew she was a drunk and a stoner, and indulged in both vices on a daily basis. Her husband and brother both knew – so I am wondering what in the name of Hades either of them was thinking when they decided to let her drive the kids home from the campground. As we all know, there is no cure for stupidity, but now I guess stupidity has also become a contagious disease. More than one person had to have caught it from her, for them to be able to justify letting her ferry anyone’s kids anywhere – let alone their own.

In addition to the stupidity factor, we can also add a healthy dose of denial. In the immediate aftermath of the accident, Diane’s husband was telling anyone who would listen that his wife didn’t drink at all – she was a teetotaler. The brother hasn’t said much on that topic – only that when she called him 2 hours before the wreck, to tell him she was feeling sick, her speech was slurred, and she was almost incoherent. Yet he still did nothing. I cannot imagine the guilt he must be feeling right now. His wife knew Diane smoked pot on a daily basis, but they were still in the car with the drunk and high idiot. Why?!? Why would you let your kids ride in a vehicle with someone you know does drugs, or drinks to excess?

I have a couple of family members who are not allowed to drive my kids anywhere, because they either drink or do drugs. For years it has caused fights, and bitterness on the part of the ones who were not allowed to drive the kids around. My reply? So freaking what?!?! They are my kids, and I will protect them from whatever I can, whenever I can, and other peoples’ feelings be damned. The family members I am talking about are good people, and I love them. I love them so much that I am not willing to put them in a position where I might have to have them arrested one day. I am not willing to let them drive my kids around, because if there WAS an accident, I would blame them. It wouldn’t matter if the accident was their fault or not – I would blame them because they were impaired. I love them too much to do that. So I don’t let my kids ride with them. Simple, right? I guess not. Not for this family, anyway.

At the time of the crash, Diane had a BAC of .19 – more than twice the legal limit. She also had another 10 ounces of undigested vodka in her stomach, an empty Absolut bottle in the vehicle……and the autopsy also showed high levels of THC. Wow….just wow! And nobody noticed or cared. Un-freakin-believable!

The lives of seven people were snuffed out, and another child was severely injured, because Diane couldn’t wait till she got home to get her drink on.

Although Trench didn’t send this tip to me, I will say thanks to Kathy Thomas, because her tip in another thread led me to this story.

The culprit

Article

Nicole Gonzalez, 28, has been arrested for DUI – among other things. It seems that she decided a couple of drinks would be a good idea before driving her 10-year-old son home. After initially denying to the hospital staff and authorities that she had been drinking, she admitted to having consumed two pina coladas. Since I have been around people who were drinking before, and have observed their relative mathematical abilities, I would be willing to hazard that the two drinks she claimed to have had might actually have been a square root, or cube root figure instead. Just my guess, though.

In addition to having her 10-year-old in the car, she was also PREGNANT! Maybe it’s just me, but I think getting drunk while pregnant is probably just as bad an idea as driving while drunk – maybe worse. In addition to the danger the unborn baby was in from the accident, this selfish drunk also put her child at risk for FAS. For those readers who don’t know, FAS is birth defect caused by consuming alcohol while pregnant. It can range in severity from mild developmental delays to severe and debilitating physical and mental deficiencies.

In addition to the DUI charge, she was also driving with an already suspended or revoked license. The police, being thorough, tacked on an additional charge for that as well. Good job, guys! It seems that Nicole had plowed her auto into a fire hydrant – you know how those hydrants just LOVE to jump out into traffic! – and had also been seen swerving into oncoming traffic more than once.

After being taken to the hospital to be checked for injuries, she became abusive with the hospital staff. Wow! I would’ve never seen that one coming! Not a drunk who is abusive! She also made the comment that she hoped that she would have a miscarriage so that she could “sue everyone”, according to the report. What a great mom! Wishing for the death of your child so that you can receive monetary compensation. My head spins.

Thanks to Michelle for the tip, and you can thank Trench for the title.

Daddy dearest here – Aaron Michael Fisher – is being held in the Miller country jail (Missouri) for sexually abusing and Class A Statutory Sodomy in the First Degree on his five month-old baby girl.

He could face life in prison and yet that seems like such an easy ride for a crime like this.

He admitted to deciding to abuse the baby after watching porn.

She needed emergency surgery to repair internal hemorrhaging and a fractured skull.

The girl’s mother now faces charges as well.

Samantha Lynn Widman, 21,of Brumley is charged with two felony counts of child endangerment.

Doctors believe the infant had multiple broken ribs from previous abuse, and investigators said the home had dangerous and unsanitary conditions

It is reported that Fisher recently moved from Michigan to his parents’ home in Brumley. Investigators report Fisher was living with his mother, but recently assaulted her, causing her to flee the state.

Widman’s two-year-old boy is currently in the custody of the state.

Stepfather guilty of sexually assaulting girl
Judge says six-year-old’s mother lied to defend husband

A man(imal) has been convicted of sexual assault on a 5-year old girl. The girl’s birth vessel is defending the creature. I think I need to puke.

Ontario Court Justice Catherine Kehoe has rejected the versions given by both the mother and the step-penis about the events, because their stories had more changes than a set of newborn triplets, and were inconsistent with each other. The judge said that she believed the mother had ‘concocted’ the story to try and defend her sex-toy.

The child’s story, however, was consistent and unwavering. The little girl (now 6 years old) said that her mother’s bed-mate would come into her room every morning, and have her perform oral sex on him. She said he gave her a choice, and that she didn’t have to, but every day he would come in and offer, and she would comply. I’m sorry…I call BS. A five year old does not have a ‘choice’ in such matters. The fact of his even SUGGESTING such a heinous activity negated any ‘choice’ she might have had. Because most 5-year olds don’t feel they have the right to say no.

The mother’s story? She said the girl was confused. She said her daughter had ‘accidentally kissed’ the man’s penis one day when he was exiting the shower. Riiiiiight……. First of all, what was the little girl doing in the bathroom while the man was showering (or getting out of it)? Second, why was she in such close proximity to a naked adult male? Third, and most importantly – how in the blue depths of HELL did his dick end up anywhere NEAR her mouth – accidentally or otherwise? And there is a difference between a kiss and oral sex, anyway. The judge didn’t buy that story either. As far as I can see, accidentally having your genitals end up in a child’s mouth is almost as likely as ‘accidentally’ having sex with your secretary. Meaning not at all likely.

The betrayal doesn’t stop at the mother’s defense of the penis, though. She also stated that she intended to live with the penis at the conclusion of the court case. The man’s father had bought them a house, and they were all going to live there – including the victim. I wish the incubator actually WAS going to be living with him after the court case – that would mean that she would be in jail too…..right where she belongs.

And can somebody tell me WHY the freakin’ enabling twat still has custody of her daughter, anyway? She let this happen to her kid, then she defended the pedophile, and now she has voiced her intentions to live with the guy again. So WHY is the little girl still with her? Can anyone from Canada explain this one to me? Am I missing something here? I need to go puke again….

Thanks to Bishop Black for this tip.

baby boiler Jeff

Details are sketchy at this time, but Jeffrey Morris has been arrested for scalding his four month old daughter last weekend. She was burned during her bath on Saturday, but the sperm donor didn’t bother to seek treatment for her until the next day. And how about that look on his face up there? Looks like he’s pouting. I guess getting arrested for child abuse and other charges wasn’t on his agenda, huh?

How hard is it to figure out if the water is too hot to bathe a baby? If you can’t tell by using your own judgment, then please….go buy a freakin’ thermometer!

Although there has been no official word on the infant’s current condition, her burns have been described as ’severe’. Morris is currently being held without bond.

Thanks, April!
