Mom, Jewell Marie Hendricks, Kills Baby with Sleeping Bag, Say Utah Police
Detective: Twins’ mother said she killed least favorite

The woman you see above is 62-year old Jewell Marie Hendricks. Oops, I meant 26-year old. Easy mistake to make, since she looks like shes been rode hard and put up wet. Oh, and she also plays favorites. She killed one of her twin 2-month old boys, and decided which one to kill based on the fact that the one still alive is her favorite. Twins Daniel and Robert were two months old when Jewell decided she just couldn’t handle twins and that life would be easier with only one child to care for. So she broke Robert’s clavicle and then smothered him inside a sleeping bag. Intentionally. Yup….she loved Daniel the best, so he got a reprieve – but for how long? She may one day decide that even ONE baby is too much to handle, and go ahead and off little Danny too. And if the attorney for this murderess has his way, she may just get that chance.

The attorney for this evil hag is trying to convince the courts to drop the murder charges and only prosecute for neglect. WHAT?????? Neglect? The bottom feeder – oops! I meant her attorney – is apparently going to try for a reduced competency defense, since both parents were in special ed in high school. So….can we convict her of stupidity then? I’ve been saying for years that there are people who walk among us who should be arrested for stupidity, but I never thought I’d see the day a lawyer would actually try to take such a case and run with it.

Everything about this story disgusts me, from the murder, to the additional abuse of the surviving twin, to the fact that she even had a ‘favorite’ to begin with. As mothers we are not supposed to pick ‘favorites’. We are supposed to love all of our children equally and unconditionally. I have six, and I could no sooner pick a favorite than I could decide whether I liked my arteries or my veins the best. They are all part of me, and as necessary to my life as oxygen is. I hope the lawyer is unsuccessful in getting the charges reduced – as a matter of fact, I hope the judge adds a few more charges to the list. I’m sure there are several other charges that would stick in this case. And I hope she gets the DP. Put her in a sleeping bag and have a 500 pound man sit on it for a few hours.

Thank you for the tip, April. I still love you more than chocolate…..

Police: Stephanie Rochester feared son had autism, admitted she put blankets, plastic bag over baby’s head:

Police: Autism was motive in Colo. child’s killing:

Police: Autism was motive in Colo. child’s killing:

34-year-old Stephanie Rochester of Boulder, Colorado has been charged in the smothering murder of her 6-month-old son Rylan. She allegedly killed her own son over fears that he may have Autism. I think I speak not only for parents of children with Autism but also for most parents when I say so fucking what if he did have Autism. Not to mention the fact that Autism can’t be diagnosed at 6-months.

I guess she thought she had a better way of recognizing Autism in children than most medical professionals. She says that she worked as a counselor for children with Autism for 2 years and could recognize the symptoms. I worked as a medical biller for a gastroenterologist practice for five years. That doesn’t mean I can diagnose someone with Crohn’s disease.

It seems that Rochester had this Autism obsession since she was pregnant and kept trying to force the idea on her doctors.

The night before Rylan was killed Rochester and her husband took him to an urgent care because Rylan didn’t want to eat and was being fussy. I think that’s called being a baby but then again I’m not a doctor.

While at the urgent care center Rylan’s father is believed to have said something to the effect of he didn’t realize that it would be this hard being a parent. Every single parent has said that to themself at one point or another however I don’t think he meant as a reason for Rochester to kill their child.

The murder itself was said to have been long and agonizing and I am not going to reprint the details here.

However I think this comes down to either pure selfishness or Munchhausen By Proxy or both.

Rochester was allegedly worried about being financially ruined by raising a child with Autism and was allegedly more concerned about her own way of life. I think MBP might also be involved because she was allegedly going to kill herself after killing the baby but didn’t have a way of doing that. If she killed her self then who would pay attention to her which is what MBP is all about.

She could be potentially facing the death penalty. She’s also been placed on suicide watch and is being segregated from the rest of the inmates. Why bother. She’s not going to kill herself and the other inmates may save the taxpayers some money.

And you better believe that post partum depression has already been trotted out as a possible defense.

Thanks to Trish for the tip.

Father Allegedly Suffocated Baby While He Slept:

30-year-old Emanuel Lawrence of Sunrise, Florida was arrested after he was found to have allegedly accidentally smothered his 7-month-old daughter to death.

It seems that Lawrence stayed up late smoking weed and playing a lot of Xbox. After he went to bed the baby mama woke him up and told him to feed the babies. He fed the 7-month-old and their 3-year-old, brought them back to bed with him.

Seven and a half hours later Lawrence woke up to discover he had rolled over on the 7-month-old in his sleep and suffocated her.

As my friend Rob Taylor says drug use is not a victimless crime. By the time you’re 30 with two kids you have no business still getting so high that you don’t know when you’ve rolled over on your own kid.

Thanks to Jake’s Daddy for the tip.

Mother sentenced to life for daughter’s slaying:

Tomika Cantu of Bexar County, Texas was sentenced recently to life without parole in the smothering death of her 4-year-old daughter. She had just recently given birth to another child and claims she was suffering from post partum deprerssion among other sob story defenses. The 4-year-old threw a tantrum because she couldn’t open her Christmas presents early so Cantu put a pillow over her head until she stopped moving.

Merry freakin’ Christmas.

Thanks to Stephanie for the tip.

Mom Smothered Baby, Police Say:

30-year-old Elizabeth Ortiz of Phoenix, Arizona was arrested in the smothering death of her 7-month-old son. She allegedly fell asleep on the couch and smothered her baby. She called 911 and as rescue workers tried to revive the baby she fled the scene.

She did return however and told investigators that she was a drug user. Police say that the drug use may have contributed to the baby’s death.

Just like I think there should be a written test to be able to become a parent there should also be a drug test as well.

If you have kids STOP DOING DRUGS. If you can’t stop doing drugs give your kids up for adoption so they can at least have half a chance.

No bail for teen charged with killing son, 1:

Police in Worcester, Mass. arrested 16-year-old Nga Thi Truong girl in the murder of her toddler son Khyle Truong. It’s alleged that she used the boy’s teddy bear to smother him.

Police say she confessed to killing him because allegedly she was frustrated at the boy because he was sick.

Truong’s boyfriend, 17-year-old Edwin Vasquez who is not the baby daddy, disputes the confession and says police pressured her into confessing.

“I didn’t hear anything, and I was sleeping right next to him,” Vasquez said.

Vasquez said the baby had a fever and woke up a few times Saturday night, before Truong changed his diaper and fed him about 8 a.m.

“I heard Khyle drinking the bottle, and he was fine,” Vasquez said. “About 11 (a.m.) I woke up … she was screaming — she was screaming Khyle’s name. Khyle was not moving at all.”

Vasquez is not Khyle’s baby daddy but he is a baby daddy as Truong is currently pregnant with his child.

Truong has pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and has been ordered held without bail.

How sad is it that she used what I’m sure the boy saw as an object of security to allegedly murder him?

In a perfect world teens would be sterile until they could prove that they’re responsible.
