Colomom! Thank you for the "comments." Also, I wanted to say, after looking at little Maddy's teeth, I agree that the neglect and potentially the abuse started before this mom ever hooked up with the BF. Maybe one of the reasons the mom allowed it to go so far......

Okay, these two definitely are 🤬🤬🤬 but I have to comment on the teeth issue. My son's teeth started rotting when he was 2. His two top teeth were broke when he jumped off his bed and tried to fly, LOL. Anyway, they rotted away. I took him to get the others filled but the dentist said if they were not bothering him to leave them alone and so we did. When he was six we got the roots out so his other teeth could come in. Now I breast fed him until 12 months and he had no bottle, just a pacifier. Now my now 3 year old has 7 cavities and we just don't understand it. She had a bottle until 18 months and we brush her teeth. They don't drink soda. She doesn't eat any more candy the most kids. Well just wanted to say sometimes teeth can be unpredictable but she definitely should have had them fixed so that was definitely neglectful but how they got like that could just be genetic.

You are right, teeth are unpredictable and you can have discolored teeth as an infant/toddler. I stand corrected on part of my righteous indignation rant!

Believe09, you're so funny, LOL! It wasn't a righteous indignation rant, just a natural asumption. I just am a little touchy about the subject because the dental assistants look at me like I am the worst parent in the world and they kept telling me my son had bottle rot, when he had never had a bottle. Anyway, now I am ranting now.:blowkiss:

Eeeeekkkkkk, OK, now I am really sorry I mentioned it.

But, you guys, I have an amazing "instinct" (if I do say so myself :) ) and that was my gut reaction. I think I read in an article early on that the apartment where they lived was a "pigsty", don't quote me, I can't find that reference now. When I read that my perception was set in my mind. I really believe that drugs were also in the mix here, some evidence of that has been mentioned.

Anyway, I may have been completely off-base about her little bitty baby teeth, it just struck me when I noticed that. Regardless of if it was a genetic condition or not, I can assure you, my kids would never have had to deal with that. I would do everything I could to make sure they were fixed. Decay can be very painful, I could not stand the thought.

I have some experience dealing with mothers that do not put their children first and I know that $hithead-Hardy did not put Mady first. What they did to that baby girl makes her decayed teeth seem very insignificant.

We can just talk about how he threw her into a metal headboard so hard that she bounced off of it and then bounced off the floor. Nothing else really matters...you know.

God, I am broken by this one.

((((((((hugs)))))))))

It certainly doesn't help that this poor child's first name is Mady......

so close to our other "Maddie"

:(:(:(:(:(

No reason at all for either of these two beautiful girls to be dead now!!!!!

Just "adults" who could give a rat's as* about any poor innocent and defenseless child and feel it's okay to just snuff their life out so THEY can continue on with their (IMO) useless life.

Man, you got that right Littledeer, I do not doubt that my pain is interconnected to my other "obsession". And before you guys get on me about obsessing, I know, I am aware, I am still sane. I take breaks if I need too. Please don't worry about me. There is a reason that I am here, with you, talking about Mady/Maddie.

It still hurts...bad.

BEFORE I post I want you all to know I am not for the mom or boyfriend, I am for the POLICE OFFICERS when I make this statement.

You say nothing was done about her black eyes...We can not say, we were not thier we did not see her reported BLACK EYES? Maybe thier was nothing founded at that visit, we do not know. We have not seen any reports to show anything. I have enough faith in our law enforcement that when Kids are involved; they NO MATTER WHAT DO THIER JOB. They are all comments, people upset and rightfully so about what has happened to this poor little girl, but lets blame the parents and not Law enforcement UNLESS it is proven that they did not do thier job. I am thankful for our law enforcement who put themselves out there every day trying to make lives and our streets safer.


One of the comments at KKTV said a grandmother reported Madyson having black eyes but nothing was done about it.

Springs Mother Gets 40 Years In Death Of Girl, 4
Prosecutors: Abuse Went On For 3 1/2 Months

POSTED: 8:18 am MDT April 23, 2010
UPDATED: 8:20 am MDT April 23, 2010


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- A 25-year-old woman has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for failing to stop the abuse that led to her daughter's death.

Chrystie Marie Hardy pleaded guilty to child abuse in the January 2008 death of her 4-year-old daughter Madyson Bogard.

In handing down the sentence Thursday, 4th Judicial District Judge Robert L. Lowrey told Hardy she could have gotten help sooner for her daughter.

Hardy's boyfriend Mark Alton Friend is serving a prison sentence for a first-degree murder conviction.

Investigators said Madyson had been repeatedly struck in the head, slammed against a door and bed frame and held under water.

They said the abuse went on for 3 1/2 months.
