GUILTY TX - D’Lanny Reinelle Chairez, 20, (found/arrested) & James, 18 months, San Antonio, 22 Feb 2021

Also the fact the bio dad was in prison. Do those children automatically get government assistance? Dis D'lanny work? How did she get money if not working?

Chairez, now 20, was living on her own with James in a trailer, working as a waitress.

Wonder when the babysitter last saw him if mom was working.

This story is not making much sense to me. The aunt stated she hasn’t seen the baby since Thanksgiving and that the mother was making excuses, but this baby was alive in January.

Why was she not letting the aunt see him? She was going out with him, so I guess he wasn’t extremely bruised or at least wasn’t visibly hurt. Very weird.

It does sounds like DC avoided family gatherings and stopped cleaning her house well before JC's disappearance; IMHO it's likely she was in some type of mental health crisis during this time. If so, she might or might not have realized her aunt was growing suspicious over her and JC's isolation, and while I'm not making any accusations, it would be beyond hard to feed, bathe and change a baby on a regular schedule with the house in that level of chaos. Maybe he wasn't bruised, but had serious diaper rash that left him irritable and DC didn't want others to see it?

At any rate, I am among those desperately hoping she left him safe with someone, even if it wasn't a legal adoption, and that this person comes forward. From her words, she was distressed about the criminality in the family; could she have been so fearful of imminent harm to JC that she gave him to someone without locating his vaccine record (if it was lost in the clutter) and without his baby gear, toys, diapers, etc?

16 year old relative testified on her behalf. prob DC. man what a crappy life she has had and it trickled down to this poor defenseless baby.

Well, I’m sure the incident that led to D’Lanny’s mother’s murder charge was not her first foray into child abuse. I’m think we’re going to learn that D’Lanny had a horrific childhood. This case is so overwhelmingly sad.

generational abuse

Trying to reply to PommyMommys post.
Things are not adding up to me with the reporting.
Did she go for a ride with the aunt on the 18th or go wash clothes?
Chairez went to Gomez’s house to wash clothes Feb. 19, during the winter storm, but James wasn’t with her. She told Gomez the boy was with staying with a friend. When Gomez wanted to go pick him up, she said he likely was sleeping and soon left.

also would LE leave the sheet with blood on it or keep it for DNA testing and possible evidence?


After getting the go-ahead from officers, Gomez and other family members cleaned Chairez’s trailer.

They were stunned at what they found. Chairez is a neat-freak, Gomez said, but the place was in squalor — trash and empty soda cans littered the floor to the point it wasn’t visible. The sheet that was later determined to have blood was crumpled on the floor

seems like a rapid descent into depression.

Well, when parents can't care for older children, usually someone (extended family, neighbors, teachers, daycare providers, etc) notice and voice concerns to social services.

Given D'lanny's family circumstances, the situation with James' bio dad, the fact that she was just a teen when he was born and likely needed WIC, etc, I find it hard to believe there wasn't already a social worker assigned to this mother and child. Where was that person for nearly half a year?

Teen moms are not assigned a social worker without a reason. It seems her family history may have been a reason but in absence of any concerning behavior BY HER, CPS involvement/foster care, or a medical reason there wouldnt be one. I had a baby at 19 and the only reason my son had a social worker is because he had a brain injury from his birth and required several hospitalizations and surgery. they was assigned when he was hospitalized. but had he not had that, we would have been discharged on our merry way after birth.

no, unless the parent applies for and is eligible.

Holy crap.. What a crew! IMO

I know right? That poor kid had no chance. Moo.

generational abuse

I knew well the generational statistics, but when it happened in my extended family by marriage, I was still pretty shocked. The person who married into the extended family had been abused, fostered, and as an adult spoke of it and touted the importance of supporting foster youth. But then a few years later he turned abuser of his own kids and they all got sent to foster care. Full circle in a crazy way. He was cognizant, so were we. It still happened. Scary stuff.
It doesn’t excuse this momma who killed off her adorable little boy or anyone around her. At all. But it is no joke.

Yes I’ve often wondered how many people, having endured abuse, are aware of the cycle and happy to have “broken” the cycle only to later at some point in time lapse into it... it’s very complex and hard to fathom in my opinion!

Indeed so all please feel free to direct message me any favorite articles or resources on the subject particularly as it pertains to teens. Because now those kids, they need to believe they really can break it and need to know how.

It sounds ignorant but it reminds me of dedicating yourself to going to AA.. once you are aware and get yourself on track, every single day is hard work, one day at a time of constant awareness and fighting. All guards up at all times to protect the progress you’ve made and to steer yourself in the correct direction. Every. Single. Day. It’s likely very exhausting.

I was not abused as a child and I’ve never been to AA but my brain always tries to make associations that I can grasp, so obviously moo!

i am so sorry about the family member and kids

(sigh) No news that I can find.

Bumping for little James. Mom needs to start talking!!!

 

[iQuill]

Honestly I can’t find the words here, this whole situation is just unbelievable..... like Mark Twain said “truth is stranger than fiction”.

People have to get a license to get married and go to court to get divorced but anybody can have a baby. There are requirements / qualifications you have to meet to adopt a pet!

It’s amazing to me how much this tragedy reminds me of baby Evelyn. I’m sure hoping and praying for a different outcome. Baby James deserves to be loved, nurtured and protected...Moo

San Antonio police find blood on missing baby's crib sheets | KTSA
The child was last seen with his mother Jan. 4 at Walgreens on Marbach Road at West Military. Security cameras at the same store Feb. 21 show D’Lanny without her baby. She also was seen on surveillance video, riding a VIA bus for several hours without the child on Feb. 24.

Texas mom who vanished with toddler arrested; blood found on missing child’s sheets, police say – WFTV
Police said a Walgreen’s camera showed Chairez inside the store Feb. 21, but the child was not with her, the news outlets reported.

They have surveillance video of DC with JC. Why do they believe that he was not with her?

 

[Ingrid74]

I noted on DC's Facebook page that she was selling baby girls clothes. 0/3, 3/6 months. This was on 27 February 2020. Just found this interesting.
