Heather Heck Accused of Leaving Baby in Car for Weekend While She Partied
Thanks to Trench for the heads-up on this story on CrimeRant about Heather Heck. The 23-year-old Loraine, Ohio woman really, really wanted a nice weekend out with her boyfriend. But, alas, she couldn’t find anyone to babysit./ So she did the only logical thing: wrapped her six-week-old child up in a bed sheet (and a dirty one at that), and left the little angel in a laundry basket in her boyfriend’s SUV.
Sounds a lot like David and Liz Carroll, doesn’t it? In that case, the negligent foster parents left their boy Marcus Fiesel tied up ina closet so that they could sojourn to an out-of-state family reunion. But this case is…different. Heck and her boyfriend, Wesley Cales, are religious. So religious, in fact, that Heather Heck feared the wrath of hellfire from the leaders of Calvary Apostolic Church if they discovered that the pair had had sex without God’s permission. As a result, Heck kept the baby a secret from everybody…including her boyfriend, the boy’s father.
How leaving a child to die or be kidnapped is preferable to telling your pastor that you had pre-marital sex is beyond me. Did Heck think that Jesus doesn’t have a ranking system? From what I’ve seen, the better Christians live their lives in celebration of Christ. Heck sounds like she was living in fear of him.
Cales, not being a moron, was aghast when he found out how his girlfriend had endangered their son. He’s now suing for full custody of the babe. Good for him. Miss Heck, please use your jail time wisely. When you ask God for forgiveness, make sure to thank Him, from the bottom of your heart, that you didn’t come home to a dead baby.
