Some snips from above article:
1. Attempts to reach Jenkins and Ehrlick have been unsuccessful. On Saturday, they didn't answer a knock on their door, and Jenkins' cell phone was busy all day.
2. Jenkins is on probation for fracturing the skull of the third child, Aidan. A tape recording of her sentencing describes what happened: When Jenkins pleaded guilty to misdemeanor injury to a child on March 31, 2009, Judge Cathleen MacGregor Irby asked Jenkins what she did that "would make her guilty of that offense." "I was burping my son and I accidentally hit his head on the table," Jenkins said.
2a. - Ada County prosecutor Fafa Alidjani gave Irby more details. When the parents brought Aidan to the hospital, "the child had swelling to the side of his head. É The side of the head kind of felt mushy and swollen, and the child was in distress. The X-ray revealed the child had about a 3- to 4-centimeter horizontal fracture to the side of his head," Alidjani said.
"Neither parent could provide a history as to what would cause that kind of injury to the child's head, ..." Alidjani said. Eventually, Jenkins told police she had been frustrated and tired because she was unable to take a nap, and while burping the child she flipped him over and hit his head.
2b. - A doctor who examined the baby determined a great deal of force was needed to cause a fracture of that magnitude, Alidjani said.
3. Melissa Seiber [Jenkins, as explained in the story link] worked as a general telemarketer, and she did her job well at first, Lindstrom said. Seiber expressed an interest in a higher-paying job as a retention specialist. Instead of working toward that position, Seiber started missing work and eventually just left, Lindstrom said. Seeing Robert with his mother, Lindstrom said, "I just felt something wasn't right. (Robert was) filthy, rough. One time I saw him in the car, and he was not in his booster seat," she said.
3a. - "She [Jenkins/Seiber] was always either smiling or sad or depressed. She was emotional," he said. "There was never any middle ground, it was either a high or low personality."
My comment -
I'm not sure if this story has been posted but I thought some of the information within it was worth posting, even it it is a repeat.
