No signs of trauma......Does that mean his parents are going to get off easy??? I feel so conflicted about this news.....
Smothering a child with a pillow leaves no signs of trauma, neither does starving a child to death or letting them die of dehydration.
So now the parents will likely claim the child died of natural causes and they were to scared or too poor to seek help or give him a proper burial? So because they failed to report his death, his body has decomposed to the point that his cause of death cannot be ascertained. They are essentially being rewarded for their crime!!That makes me so mad!! It should be a serious crime to conceal a death so that it makes it harder to prove the cause of death. It should be a serious crime to not report a child who is missing (although Dontrell was never missing, his parent knew where he was!!)
We are seeing to many cases of "missing children" or concealed deaths that parents are walking away from. Sky Metawala has been "mssing" over a year and yet his mother wasn't even charged with a single crime, not even negligence when it was shown that her children were neglected, underfed and probably abused by OCD tendencies to not feed them because it was too messy and not allowing them to sleep in a bed because the beds were "perfect" and not allowed to be messed up.
We are seeing way too many crimes of this nature.
There needs to be very strict state and federal laws that prosecute parents who fail to report a missing child.
Could Caylee's Law apply here?
ETA - I just read it wasn't passed until 2012...could it be applied retroactively?
Somewhere back in the thread I linked it but am too lazy to go back and find it![]()
Calvin's mugshot showed that he was charged with "Caylee's Law", making knowingly false statements to a police office about a missing child. I think the law is HB 37.
just wondering.. is this thread going to be moved to located or awaiting trial? TIA

Prosecutor says more charges could be filed against Calvin Melvin and Brittney Sierra
Investigators are still waiting for DNA results for a positive identification of the remains but they suspect it is the baby boy.
