So many of the women in prison have been separated from their own kids or lost them to the system. In comes Cortney, who slaughtered her own child and grandchild in one fail swoop. Bet the women in prison won't take too kindly to their new cell mate.
No amount of sugar is going to cover up the taste of a tide pod in a milkshake, IMO. There is no telling what they forced Rebecca ingest, I don't think we'll ever know the full truth. I'm waiting for the tox results to see what the blue/green chalky substance was in her stomach.
Is that even a thing?
Lancing an abscess is a thing...if your doctor does it.
Definitely. I worked for DCS between ‘06-09. When a new report would come in, they would link the “perpetrator” in the system to prior reports with substantiated abuse and neglect so we could have a history of the family’s involvement. Many times, the current report’s perp was linked to substantiated reports of them being a victim as a child. The system only went back to the late 80’s/90’s at that time. I am sure if there was more data, you could see the generations among generations of abuse and neglect. Many of the veteran case managers I worked with knew a lot of the families due investigating their parents and grandparents for similar complaints.
I’ve lanced an abscess at home out of desperation, because I couldn’t afford the ER and my derm couldn’t get me in for two weeks. It’s… not ideal. But I get them regularly so I kinda know what to do. In a clean bathroom where everything is sterilized and I put down clean pads and have sterilized equipment and bandages and antibiotics and antibiotic cream. I still wouldn’t recommend it, but American health care… but I couldn’t imagine just casually leaning over to the nightstand to grab something to lance it on my bed…
There are tons of YouTube videos of people doing this. Yeah, not recommended.
Don’t worry…: CB’s “cellulite” will take care of it
If the abscess was caused by MRSA and lancing it caused MRSA to spread, she might have needed leg amputation,
Having your children (and your childrens children) removed by CPS on a regular basis, still everyone continues the cycle of abuse. Every male is a convicted sex offender and convicted for selling drugs, domestic violence is a daily occurrence. That is a hot mess overall. Rebecca did not have a chance.
I'd wondered if maybe the 'chalky substance' was from her consuming a lot of antacids (because heartburn in late pregnancy is very common) and the blue-green colour was from it mixing in her stomach with something else she'd eaten/drunk? Although it seems like LE think there's at least some chance that the substance is related to her murder, otherwise I doubt they'd have included it in the PCA. I did find one medical case study (WARNING for graphic autopsy photos in that link) where a green-ish chalky substance was found in a man's esophagus and stomach during autopsy, which was identified as an enormous quantity of partially-dissolved propranolol (a beta blocker used for anxiety, high blood pressure, and a few other things)
Yes, but also xylazine (what they're adding to the fentanyl) causes sores..
You're right, "chalky" sounds more like dishwasher pods than laundry. I've never seen real or knockoff Tide pods with powder, just liquid. These people are not bright to begin with, so I could totally believe they're just mixing up the names.
