GUILTY KS - Iviona Lewis, 23 mos, Hoisington, 18 March 2018 *Arrest*

I'm just so sick of these babies being hurt and killed. I think it would be a good idea for every single parent that has a child to come and have a read on websleuths. Its not like its a rare occurrence that you see these babies hurt by partners.
I know there is no crystal ball telling you if you are going to get a good partner but there are ways to find things out.
Its just too easy now for these bad people to get access to the most vulnerable. Being responsible and not just trusting anybody with these babies lives should surely be one of your main concerns.

Has anyone heard about funeral services?

I haven't heard or seen anything about a date for funeral services but I did find a page set up by someone in Hoisington for funeral cost as well as an uncle to Ivy. I'm not sure on the TOS regarding that so to be safe I will not link.

:rose: RIP Iviona :rose:

The other factor that almost 100% of the time goes hand in hand with these murders is drugs.

Nancy Grace has been saying this all along, and i agree with her 100%. These poor children are at the mercy of drug addicts.

So the mother of the suspect, who said she was Ivy's grandmother, was correct- she was going to turn three in April. Poor sweet baby, rest in peace, sweetheart.

From this article:
However, it was noted that due to the complexity of the case and the need to secure a court-appointed attorney for Stephens the hearing would probably need to be moved to a later date to allow both the prosecution and the defense time to prepare for the case.

I was just thinking about you pretty girl. I don't have anywhere else to go say it. I hope you are having fun in heaven. :floating:

I was just thinking of her the other day and wondering if there were any update on her case!

 

[Niner]

There is a Prelim hearing tomorrow, June 12th.

 

[2Hope4]

Probably be continued the court hearing that is. Seems time is always on the criminals side while they sit in jail, but what about the victim? Why didn't the criminal take TIME to think about their actions? Ugh. Drugs and sex, drugs and sex...all these babies killed so the parent could be someone to have sex... NOT someone to help them raise the child, provide a loving environment, provide a stable income, provide a home... nope... gotta have those drugs and sex. Can't dare raise the child a single parent, or get help from a grandparent, aunt, etc, nope... those people can't provide the sex. Well...I have no idea why it's a priority...
