Poor baby!! He deserved so much better.
If you see my above post with the images, what do you think happened?
Poor baby!! He deserved so much better.
AJ wasn't too young for Adderall. In my experience, I've worked with numerous pre-K kids on it.
Adderall is an amphetamine. I would think that she would be the one taking it more so than him.
Although I have seen Adderall (in various forms) used with school age children predominantly, I do know that there are children who wind up on medication before they turn school age. Usually, younger children on it are in a program(s) and need it for focus or behavioral adjustments (not touching others, sitting still, working on projects). It is less common that a 4-5 year old not in a structured program would be given Adderrall as opposed to Ritalin for ADD/ADHD. Most doctors start with Ritalin as it is the granddaddy of these medications. Kids who are dx'd at an early age usually have severe symptoms or a parent who struggles with behaviorally modifying problem behaviors. More and more doctors are trying to manage younger children's behaviors through play/talk therapy and giving parents tools to manage the issues and stressors they have.
If he was medicated for ADD/ADHD, he would have to be seen for follow ups every 6 months or so.
With proper parenting. We don’t know AJ was on Adderal, I suggested he might have been & I can see a doctor detecting JC’s frustration with him & writing an Rx. That’s what an addict does, they get pills, all sorts of pills for family members or their pets. They only want pills for their own pleasure, to experiment with different combos & to have for back up. Heroin addicts like Adderal, they can use two-3 X more heroin w/o ODing if using Adderal.That makes me sad. Are 4 yr olds really incapable of being treated and worked with, in other ways besides hard prescription drugs? It seems so young to resort to that option.
It just seems like the lazy way out, in my opinion, to jump to that therapeutic option, instead of trying other things, while their minds are still so malleable and so open.
Agree with the every 6 months follow-up. It's been my experience that AJ is within the age range for Adderall. Not all docs start with Ritalin, or it may not have worked. But it does seem, as was posted previously, that 1 of her Rx-s was Adderall.
Can anyone explain what happened to this poor child?
Notice his eye brows are nearly gone, his ears are misaligned & his head is distorted. In earlier photos I see a completely different child. He looks very thin with sunken eyes. WTH was going on to cause such abrupt facial changes?
In the photos with him wearing the cap his ears are NOT misaligned & he looks completely different.
If someone can get these three photos side by side, it’d be great. Tysm
ITA. She does look evil.
She has all the rest of her days, maybe 35-40 years, to be sober and remember what she has done. I'd like them to play video of AJ alive and autopsy photos into her cell 24/7 for the rest of her life so she can never forget for even a moment.
I personally think the distortions people are seeing are the result of lighting, poor quality of the photo, his angle and his distance from the camera.
Also, why do we keep discussing AJ (and other kids) being on adderall when it has been said numerous times that the prescription for adderall was the mothers?
Yes, those photos were posted on JC’s Facebook on March 11th of this year.
In my town the strips are $10-20 ea on the street. Never heard of $900 for a strip. Must be a typo. Heroin would be much cheaper & a more sought after high.
JMO, I think the 900.00 was for an entire bottle.
I, must say, LE did outstanding job of including the street value in the Police report.
The oldest brother and his girlfriend are both members of another group. His girlfriend posted a photo (with his permission), of Austin and Parker together on Saturday. She said they all went to lunch together and she took the picture. She said Parker is in the care of his Great Aunt.
The photo was just taken this past Saturday, April 27th.Wonder where AJ was on Sat. did he to to lunch with them as well?

I was thinking about question posed yesterday, Why did JoAnn think getting pregnant again was a good idea?
I’m wondering if she only liked babies? I’m not sure but it seems with the oldest son he wasn’t physically abused until he was older, and with AJ he looked happy and healthy in the younger photos of him. Parker, although living in nightmarish conditions, didn't appear to be physically abused and no reports of them physically abusing him specifically.
I’m wondering if the children were safe from physical abuse until they reached a certain age and once they did then she got pregnant again?
