UT - Ethan Stacy, 4, Layton, 10 May 2010 - #3

[SuziQ]

What do you want her charged with? I thought she was told the child had a peanut allergy and I guess there are some people who might not question that.

Is there anyone in the family who would have thought this would end up in torture and murder? His mother looked devastated to me. I'm aware that I looks at crimes different from most here, I look at the perp and hold the perp 100% responsible and I don't like to share that among others. Makes me very unpopular - sorry, but that's the way I've always been, and I am entitled to my opinion!moo mho

Why shouldn't everyone responsible be held responsible. Is there a limit on how many people can be charged per crime?

No one said you aren't entitled to your opinion. lol.

 

[eyes4crime]

eyes, if I saw a child with a swollen face like that, I wouldn't say oh well it probably won't end up in torture and murder, I would call 911 immediately.

Is

So would I! Was this the first time his mom met the child? We don't know if she questioned her son about the bruises. For all we know she did, and was told he had an accident with his bike, ran into a door, or who knows what. FOR NOW, I need to focus on getting the right charges for Stephanie and Nate. That's my goal and that's where my energy goes. MOO MHO and all that stuff!!!

Oh sorry - what do people want Nathan's mother charged with? Honestly, do people think she is really responsible for the murder of Ethan? moo

I don't want her charged with anything right now. I want her questioned.

If she saw that baby's swollen and battered face, and did nothing, than yes, I feel she is in part morally responsible for Ethan's murder.

We have too many battered and murdered babies and children because people who knew the child was in danger didn't do anything to help them.

I understand what you're saying, but I see it differently.

Nathan has been in and out of jail for years. He's been through a divorce, with accusations of abuse.

Either his mother has complete blinders on, or she's been protecting him. I believe mothering doesn't end when your child turns 18; you are there for their entire life, to kick them in the butt and help them straighten out.

IMO, it's obvious there's a favored son (based on the website she promotes) and one who shall not be mentioned (NS). Remember, she said "these two people".

In the words of the favored son: "Witness Idea: An appliance breaks in the house...we could cry...or we might be able to see it as a Devine Appointment to share JESUS with the repair man or woman or to invite them to Church!"

How about THIS instead, years ago:
"Witness Idea: My brother has problems ... I could cry ... but instead, I use it as an opportunity to engage the family to help him with his life, to break the chain of addiction, to help him treat his wife and own child with respect, and to lose the anger."

 

[nursebeeme]

don't take probable cause statements as the bible... there has been other information found in the case/evidence, etc

I did think that also, but for me.....it is the reality that she watched and did nothing as her son was brutally beaten...and when it was over...she helped her sons murderer bury his body.

http://www.fox13now.com/media/acrobat/2010-05/53729228.pdf

She had the opportunity to save his life...she made a concious choice not too. She should be accountable for this. (my opinion only)

 

[nursebeeme]

agg murder (both) (capital, LWOP, 20 with possibility of parole) need to get ducks in a row

child abuse
obstruction of justice
desecration of a human corpse
