The above channel - 5 o'clock news. It seems the father was enlisted and is currently in the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has issued a statement.
What got me was the last statement in this report: The parents did not mean to neglect this child. HUH? Say what?
I am very angry, as I am sure the rest of you are....
But reading her FB, made me think something recently went wrong... Most posts are fairly normal, not overly mean, angry, immature etc... she is active in supporting a foundation for the boys medical condition, she loves her family. (seems to be raised by g-parents..)
IDK, talks a lot about her own anxiety, more so recently than before.... I don't think she had anyone in her life to help, or support her, they lived away from what little family they had.. I think mentally she was going downhill... PPD?
Now, in NO WAY am I defending what she ( and him) did!!! ANd I pray that this baby makes it, sad that he was all aloneThey def deserve way more than just a neglect charge, but I am just not ready to call her evil yet....
( BTW this is so out of character for me, normally, I want vigilanty justice against parents like this! But for some reason, I am being a softy tonight...:waitasec: )
Perhaps. However, the father was there too. No PPD for him. What is his excuse for letting his child live like that?
Irma Martinez was the only family acquaintance who appeared at the juvenile court, and she was not on the parents' side. "My reason for me being here is so that Elijah and Jeremiah do not go back to them-- ever."
Good for Irma - I wonder what the relationship is.

I wonder if there is a monetary aspect of this on top of everything else...
I'd be willing to bet my life they were receiving social security disability for the special needs child but obviously weren't using those funds to pay for this poor little guy's care.
There is a host of help out there for special needs kids including respite etc...
There is no excuse at all for how the little angel was treated.
True, but if they were getting SSI they would have also been getting Medicaid for him. Also, if he dies, they don't get his SSI anymore.
I agree, there is no excuse.
