Boy’s blood in father’s apartment:
More bad news on the search for Giovanni Gonzalez. It’s been released recently that investigators found a substantial amount of Giovanni’s blood in the apartment of his father Ernesto Gonzalez.
As you may recall then 5-year-old Giovanni went missing from Lynn, Mass. almost two years ago and was last seen with his father. When questioned about Giovanni’s disappearance his father said nothing and was eventually arrested. While in jail he told a Boston reporter that he killed Giovanni and dismembered his body before placing it in several different dumpsters around town.
Now it’s been released that forensics evidence has shown that Giovanni’s blood was found on a knife, a piece of flooring, on the bathroom threshold and a the cap on a cleaner.
Now maybe I watch too much true crime TV but to me that sounds like there was a great deal of blood and Gonzalez attemp6ted to clean up the majority of it however it’s almost impossible to get it out of the nooks and crannies that forensic experts were finding it in.
Giovanni’s mother, Daisy Colon is still hoping that her son is alive and said that Giovanni used to bleed all the time from cuts and scrapes while playing and had a nose bleed right before he went to visit his father.
Police are saying it’s still too early to say if Giovanni has been killed yet however they seem to be focusing more on the forensic evidence then any searches.
I’m really hoping against hope that Giovanni is still alive but again it’s not looking too good unfortunately.
And again I reiterate that it’s a damn shame that national media outlets that have talking clown heads posing as ‘journalists’ have given this case no attention whatsoever.

Missing boy’s father judged ready for trial:
The article is about how Ernesto Gonzalez has been ruled competent to stand trial. And if you’ll recall he claimed to a Boston newspaper that he killed Giovanni, dismembered his body and threw the remains in three different dumpsters around Lynn, Mass.
Even though Giovanni has yet to be found the article contained something I didn’t know…
In court documents filed by Curran she states five searches of the apartment were conducted in which authorities said they discovered blood on a knife and on a floorboard. The blood was identified by a state crime lab and a private lab, Cellmark Diagnostics of Dallas, as Giovanni’s
The only thing at this point that is keeping my7 hope alive is that I don’t think it’s made public just how much blood has been found.
And hey, while I’m thinking about it if you have a friend who talks about missing child stories and happens to watch a certain helmet headed commentator on TV please tell them about Giovanni.

Kids to cops: Mom used attic as lockup when angry:
27-year-old Kristen Paquette of Lowell, Mass. was arrested after police received a report of a 3-year-old being locked in an attic.
The boy was allegedly covered in his own waste, naked and the temperature in the attic was 100F. Police also say there were feces covered fingerprints all over the walls of the attic. Outside of the attic was a dirty mattress covered in flies. The residence has since been condemned. The other kids allegedly told police “Mommy does this when she gets angry.”
Paquette’s father tried defending her actions saying that the boy has health and behavioral problems.
Paquette said the boy in the attic was born three months premature, has chronic lung problems and exhibited behavioral problems despite reassurances from doctors who have examined him.
“He’s like a child with ADHD on steroids. He’s very hyperactive,” Paquette said.
So basically what he’s saying is that it’s the doctors’ and the child’s fault that mommy put him in the hole. If you’ve ever seen the movie Cool Hand Luke you know what I’m talking about. Back in the old days prisons used to put prisoners in a similar kind of small room with similar conditions.
Maybe they should bring that back for Ms. Paquette.
Thanks to Layla for the tip.

Father accused of killing 6-year-old daughter:
35-year-old Kristopher Griffin of Mansfield, Mass. was arrested for slitting his 6-year-old daughter’s throat killing her.
No motive for the killing was given but the araticle stated that the girl’s mother was planning on leaving the state with the girl and that Griffin has a history of mental illness.
Griffin cited God as the reason he killed his daughter…
Prosecutors allege Griffin confessed to killing her and said that God had told him to do it.
An officer asked Griffin if he had hurt anyone “and the defendant responded, saying ‘yes, she’s gone. I had to save her, I killed my little girl,” prosecutor Cynthia Brackett told the court.
Griffin had left a note in a mobile home where he had been staying after breaking up with the victim’s mother, saying “forgiveness for sending Katy to heaven,” police said.
And he sobbed in court when he entered his not guilty plea.
I’m sorry but you have no right to invoke God for killing your daughter. I guess he skipped the commandment that said ‘Thou shall not kill’. You don’t have the right to sob over your daughter’s death either since you ‘allegedly’ killed her.
And if he had such a history of mental illness maybe he should have been locked up already. That’s another thing wrong with out society is that wee more concerned with the rights of the dangerously mentally ill than we are the safety of those around them.

The worst of the beatings took place this past Sunday which was as we all know Father’s Day. Nathaniel was allegedly beaten so bad on Father’s Day with belts nad hands that he vomitted and became unresponsive. Nathaniel was taken off life support and died Tuesday.
Also arrested was Schuler’s girlfriend, not the baby mama, 28-year-old Tiffany Hyman. She was charged with not doing anything about the abuse.
Schuler only gained visiting rights for his son recently.
Ok, so the Breeder Readers have already come up with Mether’s Day for mom’s on meth. What can you guys come up with for useless sperm donor’s like this?
Thanks to Bridget for the tip.

Newborn Left Alone At Motel:
Tara Anderson, believed to be mother of baby abandoned in West Springfield, hospitalized; faces new arraignment date:
EXCLUSIVE: Friend of Mother Arrested For Abandoning Baby Speaks:
A couple found a newborn baby left alone in a West Springfield, Mass. hotel room. The umbilical cord and placenta were present. The newborn was surrounded by sheets covered in blood. The room itself was littered with beer bottles and drug paraphernalia. No one else was in the room.
Eventually authorities tracked down who they believe to be the birth organism. That would be 37-year-old Tara Anderson of no fixed address.
Anderson’s friend, Julio Reyes, claims they didn’t abandon the baby.
Reyes says Anderson didn’t abandon her baby, but left her with a caretaker. “She left it with someone responsible, but I can’t say who,” said Reyes.
He says Anderson has been staying with him in Holyoke since just after she gave birth. Reyes says she didn’t go to police because she already had a warrant out for her arrest. “All I know is she did what was right for her not to get into trouble,” said Reyes.
So let me get this straight. Some people, including a pregnant woman, were drinking and doing drugs in a motel room, she gives birth in said motel room, then leaves the baby allegedly with someone else while she leaves the hotel for some reason? Have you ever heard of anyone going to a motel room purposely to give birth that didn’t abandon the baby?
Thanks to Danielle for the tip.

Reward Offered For Missing Lynn Boy:
It’s hard to believe that it’s been nine months since Giovanni Gonzalez disappeared. If you don’t know who Giovanni Gonzalez is I’m not surprised. The story has hardly been a blip on the national media’s radar.
Giovanni is a 6-year-old boy from Boston who back in August of last year was supposed to have spent the weekend with his sperm donor, Ernesto Gonzalez of Lynn, Mass. When Giovanni’s mother went to pick Giovanni up he was gone and Ernesto Gonzalez said that he didn’t know what happened to him. Ernesto has been in jail ever since, refusing to give police any information on his son’s whereabouts.
Ernesto Gonzalez gave an interview to Boston media claiming that he killed Giovanni but police say there’s no evidence to back that claim up.
National (U.S.) media could probably assist a great deal helping to find Giovanni but they’re too interested in the Casey Anthony story. The only national media outlet that has featured Giovanni’s story is America’s Most Wanted.
Ok, enough ranting for now.
Anyway the police in Lynn, Mass. are offering a $7,000 reward for for the return of Giovanni Gonzalez.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Lynn police at 781-477-4436.
Since national media won’t help to find Giovanni I guess it’s up to us. Please spread the word about Giovanni’s plight. Let’s do what the national media refuses to do. Let’s help get Giovanni home.

Quincy mother accused of killing unborn child and daughter, 9:
Report: MA woman tried before to kill unborn child:
38-year-old Fang Chi-Xue of Quincy, Mass. went beserk in her own home amd stabbed her own 9-year-old daughter to death before turning the knife on herself and stabbing herself in the abdomen which led to the death of her unborn child. Chi-Xue was 7 1/2 months pregnant. She also tried to strangle her 14-year-old daughter to death.
The reason? She believed her husband fathered a child with a mistress and was going to leave her and take the kids. According to police she tried killing her unborn child previously by drinking poison.
Even if her husband was a cheating bastard wouldn’t you rather have your kids alive and living with their father than being dead? Maybe that’s just me.
Chi-Xue was discovered by her husband bleeding on the floor with cuts to her wrists. I bet you any amount of money she went across the street and not down the road if you know what I mean.
Thanks to Lori for the tip.

Montague mother accused of trying to kill girl with scissors:
38-year-old Susan R. Johnson of Montague, Mass. is being held after she not only allegedly stabbed her two-year-old daughter with scissors but strangled her with an electrical cord too.
A security guard at the Gardner, Mass. apartment complex caught Johnson stabbing the child in the complex’s laundry room. After the guard got the scissors away from her she grabbed the cord from the dryer and began choking the child.
After the guard and other residents freed the child and subdued Johnson she was heard to have screamed such things as “I’ve got to kill you” and “Die! Die! Die!”
Her lawyer claims she suffers from depression and was off her meds. He also delivered this quote…
“Obviously she has some health issues.”
Ya think?
Luckily the child survived and is now in the custody of DCF.
Thanks to Lindsey for the tip.
