BIB - OMG

This channel I believe. "Under a pile of clothes" sounded off to me. Good grief.

Rodezno is the last name of the 5 year old boy. That's the Stepmom's maiden name.

Thank you for this....

I wonder if she has a record, too. I can't think straight. My heart is on the floor.

To think of what it took, to put him in the bag, then go behind.... UGH I. JUST. CAN'T!!!!

It is like Little Caylee Marie, all over again.

Monsters! PURE EVIL! Some "humans" don't deserve to breathe the same air as our precious children! :tantrum:

Behind the washer/dryer in laundry bag? That says Stepmom, to me, not Dad. :cry:

The video in this article is from the 12:00 news, but the article itself has been updated. This is the channel I watched at 5:00 when I posted above. The article states:



http://www.local10.com/news/father-...-appear-in-court-for-shelter-hearing/31963138

They said on the news she checked herself in on Friday, but maybe she was actually Baker Acted. I'm not sure I've ever heard of someone checking themselves into a psych ward.

This link has been updated:

A final determination of custody for the two surviving children is scheduled for April 15. Nelson Osceola is expected to be granted visitation rights if police don't charge him in his son's death.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Speechless.
Did Ahizya even have a chance, with anyone?
Was there no safe place on this earth for him?

Kimi, that was such a raw and moving post. The reality and naked truth of your question literally brought me to tears.

There are so many amazing and caring people here on websleuths--these children are very lucky to have folks like you who raise their voice in outrage and despair for them.

There are discrepencies regarding where Ahizya's body was hidden. This news channel is saying the attic.

Investigators said Friday morning they found the toddler’s body hidden in the attic of the home where he lived with his father, stepmother and siblings. DCF removed Ahizya’s two siblings from the home.

I looked up her record the other day. She only had traffic violations and a petty theft charge.

It looks like murder will be added. MOO

Making no comment whatsoever on anybody's probable guilt--but checking oneself into psychiatric care happens all the time. People with mental or emotional illnesses are often well aware they need help and where they need to go to get it. Usually the biggest factor is whether there's a bed available that's covered by your insurance. I have never actually checked myself in, but I did go so far as to investigate what my options were.

And if my kid had died like that, I would definitely need a psychiatric hospital...again, making no comment whatsoever on anybody's probable innocence or guilt.

 

[theirmommy]

wasn't able to be here all day. I finally get online and hurry to this thread. Ugh. A laundry bag behind the washer and dryer. UGH !! Poor baby. I agree with poster above,,, that says step mom!

 

[Greater Than]

I wasn't hearing things..she did check herself in.

Analize Osceola checked herself in to a mental ward the day after the boy was found dead.

From the same link:

The Broward Medical Examiner is expected to complete and release the autopsy report on Osceola on Thursday.

After the hearing, when asked what happened to the baby, Nelson Osceola said, "I have to talk to my lawyer, you know what I'm saying? I don't want anything being [misunderstood]. I just buried my son yesterday. I'm just trying to find peace with myself right now, you understand? My son is gone."

I don't know what to make of the embedded video. NO only spoke once during the shelter hearing, and it was to inquire about his stepson, who is scheduled to have a forensic interview on Thursday.

He did not ask about his infant daughter.

Heartbroken. Bewildered. Angry.

Maybe infant daughter is not really his?

This is VERY revealing:

(snip)

Police investigators expect Thursday to interview C****** Rodezno (redacted) 5, Analiz Rodezno Osceola's son. The boy and C**** Osceola (redacted), 8 months, the couple's baby girl, were placed with relatives, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Children and Families said.

The investigation began at 11:48 a.m. Thursday when Seminole police called Hollywood police to report that the child was missing from the house, Fernandez said.

The toddler's body was found about 12 hours later.

During the hours in between the report of Ahizya's disappearance and the tragic discovery, Fernandez said a "2- to 3-square-mile area" was searched by his agency, the Broward Sheriff's Office, and Community Emergency Response Team volunteers.

The police chief would not say then where the child's body was found or whether he had experienced any trauma.

-------

RBBM: this is the Rodenzo I was asking about upthread. CR (age 5) is the stepson of AO, who is awaiting the forensic interview on Thursday. So much weight resting on his tiny little shoulders.

CO is being alluded to as ARO's & NO's biological child. IIRC, they are close in age with KC's twins. That dynamic must have had a profound affect on Little Ahizya. :moo:

The decision to allow the paternal family member (?aunt?) to continue providing temporary foster care is questionable - at best - IMO.

I realize there are complex dynamics at play here. Tribal Law is likely playing a role in how decisions are being made (and even how the local agencies are approaching every angle and aspect of what has to be one of the most difficult and challenging cases in recent history.

They must find a way to interweave all of the resources, years of experience amongst multiple professional LE and forensic agencies, and integrate this into Tribal law and cultural sensitivities. What I hope will not be lost is an absolute allegiance to the "Best interest of the child(ren)."

There has already been far too much loss, pain and suffering within this extended family unit. The death of Little Ahizya must be the rock bottom wake up call that this family needs to hear, see, feel and acknowledge.

The time to respond, for them, and for the communities-at-large, is NOW. NEVER before has a case exemplified the saying, "It takes a village," more than this case.

Are these children are becoming more adept at hiding their pain from the outside world?
Are we simply failing at seeing the risk signs and symptoms of their abuse, as it occurs in our neighborhoods, parks, schools, or at the department store or mall? If we're truly honest about it, and opened our eyes and our hearts to the world around us, what have we seen?

Would you stand up and ....
Say something? Do something?

I can't get this image of Little Ahizya - crying out for help - and no one hearing him. How long did he ask for someone to come to his aid, but he was all alone?

Or was it quick (like he was caught off guard)? This is a different type of thought, imagining how anyone could go through the process of doing that to someone so young - so innocent - someone who may have even called you "Mommy" "Daddy" or "Uncle" or something like that.

Kids love unconditionally. Native Americans are inherently collectivistic in their worldview (as opposed to individualistic, which is more typical of Western/American cultures). COLL cultures focus on the success of the family unit (eg tribe) as opposed to INDIV cultures, which emphasize individual successes. This may have an affect in the Families' approach (and the public's perception of their decisions/behavior, etc. because these views can be so dichotomous.

I will ETA a supporting link so :moo: for now. I also speak from the experience of being raised in the US (highly INDIV) as a 1st Gen Vietnamese 2nd Gen Mexican in an American Military family. Both parents' came from highly COLL families. One can argue the USArmy strives for primarily COLLectivism with occasional well placed / tightly controlled INDIVidualism. :moo:

I am :scared: to sleep tonight - again. I had a nightmare when I took a nap earlier today:

All I can see is his smile, his little wings, and a laundry bag floating down from the clouds.

Monsters do this to children. Evil lurks everywhere - the worst kind from within.

I just watched the news on CBS 4. Oh my God this is bad. I missed some of what was reported because she read it fast..

Ahizya was found inside a garbage bag in the laundry room.

He had extensive bruising from head to toe. Stepmom told investigators he was very clumsy.

She told investigators she put him in the laundry room.

Stepmom is 2 months pregnant.

She was Baker Acted when she was being questioned and spoke of suicide.

 

[Greater Than]

The boy’s stepmother, Analiz Osceola, told police she went in to wake her son around 10:30 a.m. and he was missing. She also told police that her wallet and money were missing from the home, so police considered abduction a possibility, according to court documents.

[...]

Crime scene investigators were called to the home to question the family and that’s when things began to unravel. They found Ahziya’s body in a garbage bag in a box in the laundry room.

[...]

On further questioning, Osceola reportedly told investigators what had really happened.

Osceola said Thursday morning she was asleep in the same room with her son C, 5, and Ahziya when she heard him grunting, according to investigators. When she got up to check on him he was “slightly cold to the touch, but still warm,” according to court documents.

Osceola said she put him on the floor and attempted to do CPR. She then tried to get him to drink some Pedialyte. She reportedly told investigators that she decided this wasn’t a good idea and tried to get him to vomit the fluid by sticking her finger down his throat. She again performed CPR and could get a pulse, according to court documents.

Osceola said she didn’t tell her mother, Anubis, who was sleeping in another room what was going on even though her mother is a nurse. She said she put Ahziya back in bed.

When the boy’s father, Nelson Osceola, came home about 10 minutes later, Analiz didn’t say anything about their son, according to court documents.

When both her mother and husband left the home around 7 a.m., Osceola put a garbage bag over Ahziay’s head, and a second over his lower body, and put him in the box, according to court documents. She then waited four hours to report him missing.

When the boy was located, investigators noted he had extensive bruising from head to toe and that his stomach was distended and bloated. Osceola reportedly told them the bruised came from her son constantly running into things and bumping his head because he was clumsy.

UGH!
There was a nurse living in the house?!?!?

This makes what happened ever more inexcusable! Step-grandma is a MANDATED REPORTER!

Y'all were right, it was the step-mom. She murdered little Ahizya, then she lied. She's a lying liar who lies. She sent LE and the SAR teams out to search anywhere but inside the home. :sick:

She is SO :busted:
