Wow....shocked.
Posted: 12-11-07 17:29pm

My mom just called me and said she saw a girl I went to school with, on the news. Says her and her boyfriend were arrested for a "vicious death" of her 14 month old. Shocked
I guess there is going to be a trial and all that....I wonder what the outcome will be.

The boyfriend was bathing the baby and the baby fell and hit his head on the far side of the tub, but they did not seek medical advice and he ended up dying. That's all that was said on the news I guess.

That poor little boy Crying
or Very sad
(I think it was a boy)

Edit:
Here's a link I just found. I haven't read it yet tho, so if my info is wrong I apologize

Wow, how horrible! They probably thought they would think they hit the kid or something. They still should have called. Damn, your babies life is on the line.

I hate hearing stories like this. There have seriously been so many stories lately around here of babies dying.

It's very sad. I went to school with this girl, and her 2 sisters...they are all close in age. 2 were in my grade, and the third was a grade or 2 below us. Then my brother went to school with their 2 younger brothers. It kinda creeps me out. The story up above said she didn't have anything to do with the death, but she still covered it up and didn't do anything about it.

I was wondering the same thing.
That poor baby.....I can't even imagine.
There is no way the baby acted normal after falling like that, how can you NOT seek medical help after something like that? Crying
or Very sad

Yeah, Adriana freaks me out quite a bit. She's such a busy little girl, she climbs on just about anything she can. Thankfully she doesn't fall much, but one day she did and I freaked out. She turned out to be fine, but ya never know.

mhm....
I was just telling DH about it, and he's in shock too. He used to work with her years ago. I guess he's not *really* shocked, she's kinda weird....but it's sad that poor little boy suffered like that

Thats so sad. Im not defending them really but sometimes its hard to know if you should take them to hospital or not. Maybe the child didnt cry for long so they thought he was ok? I remember when jay was a baby he bumped himself, screamed for about 5 minutes then calmed down and he was okay. I got a family friend come round to check him, she worked with kids and knew first aid but she wasnt a medical proffesional. Although I did almost call 999 when it first happened, I didnt and he was fine.

when they noticed the boy unresponsive they knew something was wrong.
The detectives said they found the body in rigor mortis and that takes 4 hours to start.. almost 12 to be completely set.. so they had to have known.
