| Mooresville mother faces additional charges | |
| stingersbaby Friday, August 20, 2010: 8:06 am | This kind of thing disgusts me. First of all, her story about how the baby got the burns is obviously a lie, and it would take a complete idiot to believe it. Secondly, I wouldn't care HOW many times DCS had been called to my house, if my child, no matter what the age, had gotten scalded, you'd better believe I would head straight to the hospital with him/her! My oldest son, when he was 2, was reaching across the top of a small desk lamp, and the underneath of his upper arm touched the bulb. First thing I did was run cold water over his arm for several minutes, put some ointment on it, then straight to the hospital we went! And what 2-month-old baby deserves to have EIGHT fractured bones?? I mean come on, even if the mother could come up with a story that was halfway feasible, no one could possibly believe her, not with a 2 month old! Babies' bones are soft and pliable, and it takes a lot of effort to fracture them! So running into a door while carrying the baby is NOT a believable story....at least not by anyone with half a brain (but then again, it IS Morgan County). I hope they get what they deserve, and I hope and pray for that precious baby to make a full recovery, and never have to see the sickening faces of her biological parents again! |
| Mother charged with neglect after 2-month-old found with burns, broken bones | |

I'm wondering how it is that you would know that there are "so many untruths" in the story? If you're related to one of the parents charged, then I can see why you would say what you did, and my response to that is, you deserve to be locked up with them! What on earth could a 2-month-old baby possibly do that's so horribly wrong that she deserves broken bones?? And as for the mother's lame story about the baby rolling off of the bath mat into the hot water....first of all, most 2-month-old babies are unable to roll over on their own, and 2nd of all, IF her story could be believable (which it can't), there's NO excuse for the water being too hot in the first place. There are plenty of ways to make sure that the baby wouldn't be scalded...stick your elbow or forearm in the water...if it seems really warm to you, then it's too hot for a baby. Or better yet, go spend a couple bucks and get a baby bathtub toy that has a thermometer on it!! They're all over the place! I hope this couple does not get their baby back, EVER. |
| Humane Society sues for dogs’ costs | |
| stingersbaby Thursday, July 29, 2010: 4:32 pm | I have to agree with Trix on this one. Not only were those dogs aggressive, but they also evidently weren't restrained, either by being inside a fence or by being chained up. I'm sorry but people should be able to walk down the road without having to worry about whether or not they are going to be attacked. If it were a child that was attacked, what would you say then? I'm betting you would probably say put everyone of them down for what they did to the child. A grown woman is no different. The owner should have had them restrained in some way. And the cost of keeping animals at a shelter does add up, because they have to feed them, care for them, clean up after them, etc. I can't say that I blame them for already putting one down. I am meaning no offense to you Liberty, just trying to get you to look at things from all angles. :) |
| New state laws mean changes for many people beginning today | |
| stingersbaby Thursday, July 1, 2010: 11:36 pm |
That's not true. My ex husband moved out of state, did not pay the support that was agreed upon in our court papers, and all the mother (or father, as is sometimes the case) has to do is go to their local Child Support Enforcement office. I did that, and they located him and started garnishing his wages, and intercepted his tax refund. Yes, it can be and will be enforced, but the custodial parent has to be willing to actually do something besides whine and complain that they're not getting their payments. There is a minimal fee (I think it's $25 in Morgan County) for getting the Enforcement office involved, but that fee is waived if the children receive Medicaid. And I also have to dispute you on the cost of one parent to take the other to court...I've taken my ex to court twice...once over custody, and once over child support, and it didn't cost me a dime. All I did was send a letter to the judge requesting a hearing. (However, the cost for an attorney would make it expensive...I didn't bother with an attorney. They can't do anything I can't do as far as my kids are concerned). |
| No charges against officers in Taser incident | |
| stingersbaby Wednesday, June 23, 2010: 12:40 pm |
Driver, go back and read my post. I've done it many times without the use of violence. I have had scratches and bruises from my child's violent outbursts, but never ONCE have I ever considered calling the police. I've been called every name in the book by my child during his outbursts, and I do not slap his face. He's thrown things, busted doors, and I never felt the urge to use any kind of weapon on him. My child, just like the child in this incident, has some psychological problems caused by chemical imbalances in the brain..which a lot of times stems from environmental influences, sometimes genetic influences. You told Liberty to go handle it his way the next time a situation like this occurs, and leave the police out of it. Well, I can't speak for Liberty, but I can tell you that I would be more than willing to go on a call like that, if it means keeping the child away from the harsh brutality that your local police force seems to enjoy displaying. Floyd24~~You made the remark that this child was out to hurt someone and wanted to be in control, etc. First of all, with children like him, these outbursts are not a matter of wanting to be in control. Because when they have these outbursts, they're NOT in control. As for him being out to hurt someone, that's where a daycare provider that's WORTH anything comes in. It's my opinion that ANYONE who applies for a daycare license should be required to get special training for these types of situation. And I can also tell you that this particular daycare is notorious for having well over the legal amount of children in her care without an assistant. I think there should always be more than one adult in a daycare setting, for this purpose. Then one adult can see to the care of the other children, while the other adult takes the out of control child away from the situation and to a place where he/she is isolated from all the other children. And with children like this one, and mine, when they have these outbursts, don't even bother trying to talk to them or reason with them, because it falls on deaf ears. You said what if he'd come after one of my children? Well, I am sort of in a situation like that. My children are in a summer program through Centerstone, and my older son (the one with the same problems as the child in this incident), came home yesterday and said that one of the boys in his class got out of control, was calling the therapist names, kicked over his desk, etc. Of course I'm afraid that something might happen...I'm a parent. But there are 2 trained therapists per age group, so I put my trust in them to assure that no harm comes to any of the children involved in the program. Liberty~~Thank you for the compliments. I would love to be able to do something like that. I am in school, getting ready to start the LPN nursing program in august. I have taken every psychology class available down here because I'm intrigued by it. My ultimate goal is to become a psychiatric nurse. I know the dangers, but I feel that it would just be so rewarding to work and succeed in psychiatric care. Much more rewarding than putting a bandaid on a booboo. I have also thought about going on and getting another degree in child psychology. So who knows...maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to come back to Morgan County and offer my services. Again, thank you for the compliments. |
| No charges against officers in Taser incident | |
| stingersbaby Tuesday, June 22, 2010: 9:58 pm | You know, I've gone through and read (some of them just skimmed) the posts. And it makes me physically sick to think that some of you actually side with the officers on this! I know from experience that the daycare in question is not worth the paper it takes to write the story on. My kids attended that daycare for a VERY VERY short time, and I pulled them out because the owner of the daycare is mean to the kids. She hits them, she kicks them, and if she takes an instant disliking to any of them, she makes their life miserable while they're in her "care." That being said, I have to wonder how anyone can consider it to be ok for two "highly trained" ADULT police officers to 1. strike a young boy and 2. use a taser on him. As I said in an earlier post, I have a 12-year-old son who is ADHD, ODD, PTSD, and Bipolar, and I have been on the receiving end of his violent tantrums. It's typical that the child be very remorseful after such an episode, but it's also typical for such a child, during the outburst, to become extremely violent to the point of scary. I've been there, I've dealt with it...and I'm a WOMAN, and I've dealt with it ALONE, with no taser. There is absolutely NOTHING that justifies a police officer hitting a child in the face (over a cuss word? give me a break) and ESPECIALLY tasering the poor kid...special needs or not!! And for those of you who think the were 'doing their duty', I will just say, NO police officer, I don't care who it is, or where it is, or how "highly trained" they are, better EVER touch my child in a negative way over what they consider a "tantrum", and it's for darn sure they better never use a taser on him, because one way or another, I WOULD have them yanked from their position. I would sue and I would win. I have absolutely no faith in the Martinsville police department anyway, and the recent happenings just make me feel even more strongly that they're completely useless! |

So what? So the child was out of control! There were 2 grown men, supposedly trained to handle these types of situations, against a 10-year-old boy. Ok so he's out of control...he obviously has anger issues and needs them addressed with therapy, not with slapping and being tasered!! I have a 12-year-old boy who has severe anger issues, has been diagnosed with ADHD/ODD/PTSD and Bipolar. If anyone knows what violent, out-of-control boys are like, it's me. So, "floyd24" I guess what you're saying is that I can go out and buy a taser, and when I'm out at the grocery store, department store, or wherever, and my son starts one of his violent episodes, it's perfectly ok for me to slap his face and use my taser on him, right? To heck with the child abuse laws, right? And to heck with the fact that slapping him or tasering him is going to cause even MORE damage to his already damaged psychological well-being, when a therapeutic hold would serve a much better purpose and would not harm them in any way. Good advice, let me tell ya. I'm headin out for my taser right now! |
| Day care owner regrets calling police | |
| stingersbaby Tuesday, June 1, 2010: 7:28 am | I have to agree with Liberty that these officers should no longer be able to work for the public. Children are taught to trust police officers, and these two officers have violated that trust. However, Liberty, I think you should think twice about trusting the owner of the daycare. I took my children to her for a very short time several years ago. She is mean to the kids, especially ones that she just takes an immediate disliking to. I know that during the short time that my children were in her care, she kicked my older child in the head (more than once) because my child would not go to sleep during nap time (even though my child would lay there quietly....the fact that she couldn't force my child to actually go to sleep evidently was reason enough to warrant abuse), and she punched my other child, who was only 2 at the time, in the stomach. I also know from a very reliable source (I will not say how I know this person is reliable, to protect this person) that Heather hits any child who will not obey her, and if she takes an immediate disliking to a child, she makes their life generally miserable when they're in her care. I am hoping to get my reliable source to come forward and tell what they know, because if they do, you'd better believe that I will be right there with them, backing them up, and giving my own testimony in an effort to force Tender Teddies to go out of business because Heather is unfit to be caring for children. But without another source, I can't do anything, because all I have is the word of a child, who at the time was very young. The child in question in this situation sounds very much like my own child. My own child is on medication for ADHD with ODD and PTSD and Bipolar. I know from experience what these outbursts are like, and most of the time they can become very violent outbursts. However, the way these officers handled the situation was completely uncalled for. Heather calling the police was completely uncalled for. In my opinion, any daycare who is going to accept special needs children into their care should be forced to have special training for these types of children, and such training should be documented with some sort of certification. Proud American~~You just have a bad attitude. |
